Illustrator Tips | Draw Perfect Star in Adobe Illustrator

As you know Adobe Illustrator provides Star shape tool to create star object, but the problem is the default Star shape looks fat. You need just a simple normal or perfect star. Then here I show you the simple way to draw perfect Star.

In your Adobe Illustrator artboard, go to the Toolbox and hold the Rectangle Tool, a list of shape tools will expand out for you to pick and click on the Star Tool.

1. To draw a Star with custom Size & Points:

Click once on artboard, a dialog box will appear with 2 Radius settings and a Points value:

• Radius 1 = outer corner (measured from center)
   
• Radius 2 = inner corner
   
• Set the Points value to determine how many corner for the Star

A Star will be created according to your value settings.
