AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a quadrilateral and connect one of its vertices to the opposite vertex with a diagonal. Then, create four segments from this vertex to the other vertices, dividing the quadrilateral into five parts. Next, draw a vector from one vertex to the diagonal endpoint and use this vector to translate the quadrilateral and its divided parts, forming a tessellation pattern. Finally, connect the translated parts with segments to complete the tessellation.
