AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a quadrilateral ABCD, then select a point N inside it. Draw the perpendicular bisectors of AD and BC, which intersect at point F. Draw the perpendicular bisectors of AB and CD, which intersect at point E. Connect A, B, C, and D to form quadrilateral ABCD. Then draw the diagonals AC and BD of quadrilateral ABCD, which intersect at point F. Finally, draw quadrilaterals ABEF and ACDF.
