AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a polygon with 2 to 8 sides, with side lengths randomly distributed between 1 and 8. Draw a square as a reference, with side length 3. Draw a rectangle as a reference, with longer side length 8 and shorter side length 3. Draw a polygon with side lengths determined by user input. Finally, draw the vertices of the polygon in the order chosen by the user.
