  • Question
    Is there a given ratio to the pieces (length and width of each arm)?
    Community Answer
    No, there is not. The format is all up to you! Remember that David in Hebrew is spelled with the letters Dalet + Vav + Dalet. In an ancient version of Hebrew, the Dalet had the form of a triangle. It included two angles at 45 degrees and one at 90 degrees.

    Draw little black sections wherever there is a right edge or a section crosses over the other section.

  • Question
    Should I use colored pen or colored pencil to shade it?
    Community Answer
    Either will work. It depends on how thick you want it to be, how thick the paper is, and whether you care if it bleeds through or not.

  • Question
    Why is the Star of David sometimes drawn with lines and other times, no lines? Is there a separate meaning for the two styles?
    Community Answer
    No. It's just a style preference.

  • Question
    Does it matter what color it is?
    Community Answer
    Usually it doesn't, although it depends on what you are doing. For example, if you are drawing the Israeli flag, it has to be blue.

    Any color you want, but yellow is a better choice. You can also draw an outline-less version of it.
