How to Draw a Star - Step by Step to a Perfect One
|
You want to start by making an inverted letter V. The point of it should be at the center location of the area you would like the star to be drawn on. It is important to make sure the base of both sides of it are the same length. From the right hand side of the inverted V you want to draw a line that is angled to the left. It needs to completely cross through the part of the V. It should only stop when you feel it is in a parallel line from the center of that inverted V. Next you want to draw a straight line from that point across to the right hand side. Once again this ending point should be in a parallel line from the center of that inverted V as well. You will continue from that point with a downward angle that connects to the base of the left hand side of that inverted V. It can take some time to learn this pattern but the more you practice the easier it will become. Don't give up though or settle for a sloppy looking star. You want it to be something you can be proud of each time you look at it. A common rhythm that is taught to children so that they can learn how to draw a star can be fun for adults too. This tells you to create a mountain, make a river that flows upward, there is a bird flying around the river, and then you have to climb down the mountain. It can be a very easy way to help remember the direction to take the movements as you work to draw a very nicely shaped star. One of the key elements of learning how to draw a start successfully is to keep the points very sharp. There needs to be five of them distinctly in place on your paper in order for your start to really appear as it should. If you find that you are lacking in this part of the process you may want to practice it alone. Then you can incorporate it with the process of making stars again when you feel you have improved.
