AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a circle with a center point. Mark a point on the circle, then draw a line through the center and that point, intersecting the circle again at another point. Using these two points as centers, draw arcs with radius equal to the distance between them, intersecting at two points. Connect these intersections to form a line that crosses the circle at two new points. Then, repeatedly mark equal arc lengths along the circle, creating several more points. Finally, draw two rays from the center to two selected points on the circle such that the angle between them measures 15 degrees.
