We heard that draw a 5-pointed star it’s complicated. It is the opposite and we show it to you with simple steps. You’ll be surprised. There are two ways to draw a star: using a compass, ruler, and protractor, or freehand. The ruler and compass will help you draw the perfect 5-pointed star, or whatever star you want to make.
Once you learn the method described here, you will be able to draw as many points as you want, 3, 5 or 12. You don’t have to like math or geometry, but a little knowledge will really help you here. Every great painter or artist in history knew the basic geometric principles to be able to draw, paint, and sculpt impressive pieces of art. Ask Da Vinci or Michelangelo.
The best way to start is with a circle. The basic thing is to know that a circle has 360 degrees. You can draw a star inside the circle. This means that if you want to draw a 5-pointed star, you will simply divide the circle into 5 parts.
The formula is 360 degrees: 5 tips = 72 degrees
You divide the circle into 72 degree angles and get 5 points on the circle exactly the same distance from each other. To draw a star you need a ruler, compass, and protractor. From now on, all the drawing work will be with those tools.

The distance between the point at the top of the circle and the point you just marked is the distance between each of the points of the star. This is exactly what you need to do.
Take the distance between these two starting points with the compass and divide the circle as seen in the image.

You are going to get 5 points (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) with an exact distance from each other. In other words, the distance between each point represents 1/5 of the length of the circumference.
Connect one end with the others as you see in the image and you perfect 5-pointed star will be ready.
