AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a quadrilateral and two line segments, then reflect the quadrilateral over one of the line segments. Next, create three regular polygons with different numbers of sides using the vertices of the quadrilateral, reflect each over the same line segment. Finally, connect the vertices of the polygons to the points on the line segment and reflect the resulting shapes.
