Im a lefty, and this is how I draw them.
Same actually
1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 5.5 1
Clean up your stars people, those middle lines are ugly as hell
I am legitimately surprised at how few people start with the horizontal line here. I can never get the damn thing lined up right if I don’t start with the horizontal line.
You can’t do 54 that makes no sense.
star upside down?
314253 is acceptable for lefties.
ummmm…
I go 524135
52413 anyone?
You start with a straight line. It literally makes the most sense cause it decides the size of the star as well.
Any of them are straight lines and decide the size of the star. Some of us are more refined and can handle diagonal sizing.
Weird flex to call someone unrefined for how they draw a star. Not very refined.
For someone on lemy.lol you sure take things too seriously. 😉
Aww cute. Still not gonna just take you being rude though cause you can read.
Bruh, you’re on lemmyshitpost, not lemmybetakenseriously.
Your comedy is lacking.
You meant vertical I think, but get it, this order makes sense even though it wasn’t my first instinct
horizontal
This is the correct order. 5-to-2 sets the width of the star, which is important when writing multiple identical stars next to each other.
I was sad that I didn’t learn that until high school. Never drew a star any other way after that. The young woman who taught me I can’t remember, but the star… I’ll always remember haha
I like this method because it let’s me angle the star however I want
Yes. I can only imagine Light Yagami doing 52413 in the Death Note
This, because it’s how i remembered it being drawn in Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land
I’m a native English writer, so I figure that’s why I go Top to Bottom, Left to Right:
14253
135241
425314
same. Do you happen to be left handed by any chance?
142531
100% this
Everyone else is heretics
You start at the top of the pentagram, because that’s Spirit. You hit the other elements and end at Spirit.
In the Golden Dawn tradition (if I read and recall correctly) you start with 1 to 2 if invoking and 2 to 1 if banishing (which is probably the more common of the two)! Yay knowledge no one asked for 🤣
I do it this way because it is the closest to how I was taught to write letters.
Do you write a capital A starting at the top?
yes
No, but upper case BDEFHIJKLPRTUVWXYZ all start at the top.
I write BDFPR from the bottom.
Though I’m also a heretic who starts G from the middle, so don’t listen to me.Do you also start the number 6 in the middle?
What? No. That would be crazy.
True (and happy cake day) but the star looks most like an A to me, which I think is why I write it the same way… 4135
Heretics are where I would expect lots of experience in expressing sigils
thanks sane person
Now we’re talking 👍
The correct way
142531
This is the only way. What kind of troglodyte starts on an upstroke?
Out of curiosity, how do you write a capital letter A?
Start at the top, go down to the left. Pick up pen. Start at the top, go down to the right. Pick up pen. Go across.
Same, although I write in cursive so I don’t usually do this
You monster
I hate you
Tsk, true left-to-right writing would do the crossbar second.
How do you write? Left to right?
Had to scroll too far to find this
Obviously
I think this is the left-handed way.
Really?! 524135
…and does no one go counterclockwise? I would have guessed it was less common and biased towards lefties, but there most be someone, right?
…also, whoever did 13542 is fired.
Yeah FR that bro who went 54 did not draw a fucking star.
Yeah I start at the 5, clockwise.
I scrolled too far to see this… I didn’t know people were doing stars so differently.
Same! It seems the obvious way to do it – starting with the one horizontal line.
I think this or the lefty version would produce the neatest stars.
I do the same, although I am a righty.
I’ve never really thought about it that hard, but I have noticed that a lot of times I have trouble getting the star to fit the spot I intended and it winds up being squished and/or lopsided. I’ve always used 13524, but 52413 makes a lot of sense for solving that issue.
