Draw a glowing star in Illustrator by applying a radial gradient and an effect from the “Effects” menu to a shape created with the “Star” tool. You can also create a glowing star with Illustrator’s more manual tools, such as “Paintbrush.” However, with the “Star” tool, you don’t have to measure the angles and lengths needed to create a symmetrical star. To enhance your star’s appeal, draw a suitable background. For example, fill the background with black and add smaller stars in the form of small, pastel-colored pinpricks. Writer Bio
