In this video, you're going to learn two ways to create a star shape in Adobe Illustrator. ★

⭐️ So to make a perfect star, there's a trick, you'll need to hold down both the Option (Alt for Windows) and Shift keys.

😱 Here's a Star Tool secret that you probably didn't know:
While you click and drag on your Artboard to draw a star in Illustrator, if you hit the up arrow key , you can increase the points/corners, and if you hit the down arrow key, you're deleting the points/corners of the star shape.

✨ If you want to create twinkle stars or sparkles in Illustrator, the Pucker & Bloat effect is the go to!
