AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a composite shape made of multiple polygons. Start by drawing a circle and taking a point Z1 from it, then use Z1, A2, and W1 to draw a triangle t2. Next, draw a circle with B2 as the center and take a point C2 from it, then use C2, D2, and E2 to draw a quadrilateral q3. Draw another circle with F2 as the center and take a point G2 from it, then use G2 and H2 to draw a triangle t1. Draw a circle with I2 as the center and take a point J2 from it, then use J2 and K2 to draw a triangle t4. Draw a circle with L2 as the center and take a point M2 from it, then use M2, N2, and O2 to draw a quadrilateral q4. Draw a circle with P2 as the center and take a point Q2 from it, then draw a circle with T2 as the center and take a point U2 from it, and use T2, U2, V2, and W2 to draw a quadrilateral q1. Finally, draw a circle with V1 as the center and take a point Z2 from it, and use V1, Z2, L3, M3, N3, A3, E3, F3, G3, H3, I3, J3, and K3 to draw a complex polygon poly1.
