"Welcome guys, hi my name is Lars-Erik Robinson, I'm an illustrator. And I've been in this business about fourteen years and I love it. Today we're going to talk about nine point star, and how to draw a nine point star. What I realized is it's actually based out of three triangles, one here, two there, and three there. And once you erase out the marks, see here one, two, and then three stars. Now if you erase out the middle part here, this is how it will look. And it looks a lot like a sun, right guys. Here's how it looks. And if you want to do one, you could do one this way also. This almost looks like the atom shape to me. This one was kind of confusing to me when I first saw this. Because all the line go together. Now if you imagine that, alright. So you see that we can always add little shadows to that, or make it look round. Or we could make a happy sun inside of here. Do a little face, happy smile. Like the happy trees. I miss that guy. That's a overview on a nine point star and look at him smiling there. Once again let's review it, we have the three triangles. One is a normal one like this, and then the other two are a little bit slanted. Not totally even. You could also do a nine point star like this, going criss cross. It almost looks like an atom symbol. And then once you erase these out it makes it look like a sun. Well thank you guys once again for joining me I hope you enjoyed that review of how to draw a nine point star. You guys have a good day."
