AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw the process of folding a square piece of paper into a cubic box. Start by taking point F on the x-axis and point E on the y-axis, then connect BE and find its midpoint H. Draw a circle h with B as the center and BH as the radius, intersecting BE at J, and connect BJ. Next, construct the four corner points B, E, F, and G of the square paper, and the faces and edges of the cube. Finally, use mirroring and rotation operations to form the complete cubic box.
