AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a cube and demonstrate various ways to dissect it, start by sketching three visible faces of the cube, find the centroids and midpoints of each face, connect the centroids of opposite faces to form diagonals, draw circles on the diagonals to locate intersection points, then perform mirror and rotation operations based on these points, finally create multiple symmetrical geometric shapes to show the cube's symmetry and geometric transformation process.
