Drawing in text is not quite straight forward without the aid of terminal escape codes but here you go:-
Code:
#!/bin/bash
str="* * * * *"
spc="   "
echo "$str"
for i in 2 4 6 8
do
	newstr="$spc${str:$(($i-2)):$((9-$i))}"
	spc=$spc"   "
	echo "$newstr"
done

Results, OSX 10.12.0, default bash terminal.
Code:
