AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw the complex roots of the quadratic equation x^2 + 1 = 0. Start by drawing a triangle ABC, then take point D on side BC. Draw a circle with center C, intersecting side BC and AC at points E and F. Draw another circle with center D, intersecting side AC at point G, then take point H on side BG. Connect points I and H, then draw a circle with center I, intersecting side BG at point J. Connect points J and K, then draw a circle with center L, intersecting side BC at point M. Connect points M and H. Next, mirror points B and C about the x-axis to get B' and C', then connect B' and C'. Take points N and O on B' and C', then connect N and B', N and C'. Finally, mirror B' and C' about the x-axis to get B'' and C'', then connect B'' and C''.
