Written walkthrough

The star is Out and Pinch doing what they do best, and a nice lesson in working around a shape instead of on one side of it.

1. Stamp the core

A Sphere on open floor. Keep it modest; the arms will double the size.

2. Grow the arms

Switch to Grow. Tap a patch on the sphere’s side and press Out twice: an arm. Orbit a fifth of the way around and repeat, five arms in all. (Two up top, two low, one straight up. Or go seven-pointed, nobody’s counting.) Each arm grows along its own direction because that’s just how Out works on a curve.

3. Pinch the tips

Tap the flat end of an arm and press Pinch ; the tip collapses to a sharp point. Repeat around. Sharp!

4. Gold it

Fill it gold all over: All then Fill does the whole star in two taps. Or paint a sleepy face on the front, because a star with a face is a character, and characters get poses .
