AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a pentagon and construct a logarithmic spiral based on it. First, create the pentagon, then generate the logarithmic spiral using rotations and reflections around the center and vertices of the pentagon. Finally, mark key points on the spiral and draw auxiliary circles to demonstrate the application of logarithmic functions and rotational transformations.
