Draw the flag of
Costa Rica
What you are drawing
The flag of Costa Rica is five horizontal bands — blue, white and red from top to bottom, with coat of arms. It flies at a ratio of 3:5. On the PlayVexle difficulty scale it rates ★★★☆☆ — the kind of flag where the colours are easy and the arrangement is not.
How to score well on this one
- Colour is 70% of the score, so get the 5 bands down as flat blocks before anything else. Which colour touches the top is the single thing most people get wrong.
- The coat of arms counts for the final 10%. Roughly the right size in roughly the right place scores nearly as well as a perfect one — do not start there.
- Draw it at 3:5. The canvas is already the right shape, so fill it edge to edge rather than leaving a border.
Stuck? Open a memory hint
Lock in the order — blue, white then red — from the top down. Say it out loud once and you will still have it tomorrow.
