AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create a tessellation pattern using multiple squares and rectangles. Start by drawing a square, then rotate it 90 degrees around its center multiple times to generate a series of new squares. Use these squares to create a larger polygon. Finally, rotate these squares around the center point again to form the final tessellation pattern.
The prompt above was compiled from the original drawing commands and is for reference only.
