The stars start with the star tool. They've made this easier but as of the recording time you had to click and drag to make the star and keep holding the mouse button while you added or removed points from the star with the arrow keys on the keyboard, and adjusted the point length with the command key (ctrl on windows). Now you can just drag and release and it gives you parametric controls on the star to adjust the number of points and length. With that done, you need to turn it into a symbol. Open the symbol panel on the Window menu and just click the little plus sign at the bottom of that panel with the star selected to make a symbol of the star. Symbols are a way to work with tons of copies of a shape. With the star symbol, you can activate the symbol sprayer tool and just paint copies of the star. Then use the other symbol tools like sizer and shifter to move them around and scale them. Everything that you spray will be part of one object, a symbol set. If you want to edit the fill color or stroke just double click the original star symbol, accept the warning it pops up about changes affecting all the symbols, and make any edits. All of the symbols you sprayed will update with those changes. It's a lot less taxing on the machine to apply effects like glow to the whole set of symbols, rather than to the original symbol. So I only add the fill and stoke color to the original symbol. I select the symbol set and more intensive effects to the set.
I didn't get that moment when u draw stars with effects
