AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create a plane tiling pattern with 20 hexagons. First, draw 20 concentric circles, then select points on each circle to form hexagons. Next, draw two squares between the hexagons, and finally connect the edges of adjacent hexagons and squares.
The prompt above was compiled from the original drawing commands and is for reference only.
