AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a hexagon and reflect it to its symmetric position using tracing paper. First, draw the hexagon, then draw its opposite sides, find the reflection center through their intersections, and construct a new hexagon using this center and the opposite sides. Finally, complete the reflection process with mirroring and scaling operations.
