Star is one of those basic shapes that comes super handy when learning how to draw, as it can be used to enhance many of your drawings. Unicorn drawing is the perfect example, as it will look even more magical when surrounded by a bunch of sparkling wonderful stars.
How to Draw a Star – 5 pointed star
What you need:

- pencil or marker (or both)
- paper
- optional: eraser
Version 1:Easiest way of Drawing a Perfect Star
We are really excited to share this tutorial with you as it’s the easiest way to draw a perfect star! And it’s only 4 steps! You can draw it with a pencil and outline your end drawing with a marker, or just leave as it is, with all the lines – since these kind of stars look pretty cool anyway.
Step 1
Start by drawing a letter A, without the horizontal line.
Step 2
Draw a horizontal line, in the upper third of the “A” letter.
Step 3
Almost there, only two pencil strokes away. All that is left to do is to “connect the dots”, draw a line from one end of the horizontal line let’s say left to the bottom right end of the “letter A”.
Step 4
Do the same with the other side.
Congratulations you have just learned how to draw a star! Now you can trace it with a marker and erase the lines or get creative and give your star a smiley face.
Version 2: Star Drawing With One Stroke
You don’t have to lift your pen from the paper in order to draw a star with this method. Once you get a hang of it, this is the fastest method for drawing stars.
You can draw with a pencil and when you finish, trace the outer lines with a marker to get the perfect star without the lines inside.
Step 1
Start by drawing a horizontal line from left to right.
Step 2
Continue by drawing a line at an angle.
Step 3
Next line should go at an angle and up to the top of the star drawing.
Step 4
You are almost there! Now draw a line from the top to the bottom, again at an angle.
Step 5
Now the only thing that’s left is to connect the last line with the first one and you have drawn a star.
Step 6
If drawing with pencil, outline the drawing with marker and erase pencil.
