AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a geometric figure composed of multiple quadrilaterals and triangles, including a square with a missing corner and two right-angled triangles. Start by drawing a square with a missing corner, then construct two right-angled triangles with their right angles touching the sides of the square. Use circles and perpendicular lines to generate a series of smaller triangles and quadrilaterals, forming a complex geometric pattern.
