How to Draw a Ninja Star

Four-Point Shuriken (Ninja Star)

Draw a circle at the center of the page.

Draw a wavy vertical line going through the center of the circle. Make a horizontal copy of the same line and place it intersecting the vertical line at the center of the circle.

Highlight these lines except the parts inside the circle.

Connect the outermost tip of these lines by drawing a line similar to a stretched roman number two (2). Repeat this line pattern until all tips are connected.

Add line details to make it appear sharp.

Erase unnecessary lines. Add a curve line inside the circle to make a 3D volume effect.

Color the drawing as desired (preferably metallic tones).

Six-point Shuriken (Ninja Star)

Draw a circle at the center of the page.

Draw three equally long straight lines, with each of its center intersecting at the core of the circle. Make the tips of these lines of equal distance from each other, forming something like spokes of a wheel.

Draw a slightly bigger outer circle (but not beyond the lines), still having the same center as the rest.

With this new circle, draw three intersecting lines within it (with their center also aligned to the smaller circle's core). Make these smaller lines go between the longer lines in equal spaces from each other.

Starting from the tip of any of the longest line, draw straight diagonal lines on both sides towards the outer circle. Connect these lines with the ones from the other tips via a U-shaped depression in between.

Erase unnecessary lines. Add line details to make it appear sharp.

Add shadow tones. Color the drawing as desired (preferably metallic tones).
