Drawn stars in the sky can have a very different number of rays. As well as the stars of the festive fireworks. The more rays - the brighter and more expressive the star can be. You can draw a beautiful eight-pointed star using several techniques that are clear and accessible to every novice artist.
It is necessary
- - paper;
- - pencil.
Instructions
Step 1
Draw a square. Try to draw its sides as evenly as possible. It is better to do this with a finely sharpened hard pencil of the T or even 2T mark. The guide lines should be barely visible. It is most convenient to draw a square by placing a sheet of paper straight in front of you, without any inclination, with the short side facing you.
Step 2
Draw both diagonals and find the point of their intersection. Draw a vertical line through it. Its length should be equal to the length of the diagonal, and the point of intersection divides this centerline in half. Draw a horizontal line of exactly the same length as the vertical line through the center of construction. You now have 8 beams of the same length.
Step 3
Draw the rays. Start with a vertical line. Imagine that it passes in the middle of two beams. You just have to define its widest part. To do this, retreat from the point of intersection of all lines equal distances to the right and left. Connect them to the top and bottom ends of the center line. Draw all the other rays in the same way.
Step 4
You can finish the drawing in different ways. For example, trace only the path and remove the extra lines. It is better to outline the silhouette with a softer pencil. Paint over the inside. You can make the rays multi-colored. In this case, leave some of the construction lines. For example, the ones you used to draw the central vertical rhombus. The rest of the contour lines should end at the intersection with its sides. Fill the center ray with one color and the two adjacent ones with another. Color the rest of the rays in the same way, alternating colors.
