AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangle and rotate it 300 degrees around one of its vertices to create a new triangle. Then, connect the new triangle to the original one to form a hexagon. Repeat the rotation process around the vertices of the hexagon to create a fractal pattern made of multiple hexagons, demonstrating the concepts of rotation, natural numbers, and fractal geometry.
