Step-by-Step Easy Star Tutorial
Start by drawing a straight horizontal line across the center of your page.
Draw a straight vertical line extending downward from the center, crossing the first line to make a cross shape.
Draw an upside-down V shape starting from the top of the vertical line, making the top point of the star.
Draw zig-zagging lines extending outwards to form the left point of the star.
Draw more zig-zagging lines to form the remaining points of the star on the right and bottom.
Draw straight lines connecting the outer tips of the star to form a pentagon shape outline.
Erase your guidelines! Then, draw two eyes and a cute curved smile in the middle of the star.
Add an open mouth and round, rosy cheeks to give your star character a super happy expression.
Color your star with a bright, sunny yellow and use orange for the edges to make it glow.
Guideline Trick: The cross-shaped guidelines make it much easier to get all 5 points evenly spaced!
Glow Effect: Add a few small orange lines radiating outward from the points for a sparkly glow effect.
