413524 Gang, rise up!

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.

thanks sane person

The correct way

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 scrolled too far to see this.... I didn't know people were doing stars so differently.

Yeah FR that bro who went 54 did not draw a fucking star.

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.

You start with a straight line. It literally makes the most sense cause it decides the size of the star as well.

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 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

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

This, because it's how i remembered it being drawn in Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land

This is the only way. What kind of troglodyte starts on an upstroke?

Obviously

Had to scroll too far to find this

I think this is the left-handed way.

That's amazing, that's the same combination I have on my luggage!

I had to scroll waaaay to far to find this. Are we rare??

Do you write left-handed? I do, and this is my sequence too.

This is the way

No idea how or when I started doing it this way, but I can't change now!

Finally my people.

I wasn’t aware there was any other way. I’m having an identity crisis over here.

That would be a circle

I am also crazy and most of my stars end up inverted.

Hello my star sibling

same

Left handed?

13542 in the original doesn't even make a star

135241 is the natural order ofc

Because it is and all these others are heresy.

Hello fellow lefty.

I think we are in a teeny tiny minority.

I mean they're really hard to draw perfectly

You should probably see a doctor

I do E134524E

was taught this way because it still looks neat even when you don't line up your starting and ending point

Im a lefty, and this is how I draw them.

I'm with you.

Clearly you mean 52413

Same. Lemme guess, you write left handed?

Why is your comment misaligned

Edit: got it! after checking the HTML, Lemmy interpreted your comment as a list, because of the number followed by a dot.

I’m allergic to SVG zs so when the comment above said they were 425314, my internal reaction was “no, it’s just 42531”.

Being a leftie, this is the way.

same. Do you happen to be left handed by any chance?

Yeah I’m the same, now wondering if that’s why it looked so rough in my youth lmao

I mean, I was, because the goal was to make a star..

Sorry, we don't draw fish here

🤨

I thought it was a typo in the op, but how are you getting from 5 to 4? I always chose a path with just straight lines...
