how to doodle a star.

five lines. the trick to a cute star is not to draw a perfect one: this one has fallen off the top of the tree and is pretending it meant to.

A doodle of the tree-top star, popped off its spring clip, eyes half shut and whistling as if it meant to, in black pen.
the star that meant to do that. it draws itself here the way you'd draw it.

step by step

  1. Step 1: a five-pointed star in one wobbly line, points uneven.

    one star, one line. go round once: out to a point, back in, out again, five times. uneven points are better.

  2. Step 2: a zigzag spring hanging under it.

    the spring. a short zigzag hanging from the bottom. it was clipped to a tree.

  3. Step 3: two short lines for half-shut eyes.

    sleepy eyes. two short flat lines, side by side.

  4. Step 4: a small round mouth, whistling, and the star is done.

    a whistle. a small round mouth. done. nothing to see here.

what makes a star cute

three shooting stars to try

A doodle of a shooting star sprinting across the sky on two little legs, mouth open, late, in black pen.
the star who overslept. a star on two running legs, a streak behind.
A doodle of a flustered star rushing right, hugging a pile of round wishes while two slip out behind, in black pen.
the shooting star with too many wishes. wishes are just little circles. let two fall.
A doodle of a shooting star mid-zoom, eyes squeezed shut and little hands pressed together, in black pen.
the meteor who wishes on itself. six lines: a star, a tail, two hands together.

send your star to someone

in wiggle together you draw it in black pen, fold it into a paper plane and throw it to a moon you share with one friend. they color it in, and every line keeps wiggling, like the stars on this page.
