Draw the flag of
Denmark
What you are drawing
The flag of Denmark is an off-centre cross with the upright shifted toward the hoist in red and white. It flies at a ratio of 28:37. On the PlayVexle difficulty scale it rates ★★☆☆☆ — a flag most people can reproduce closely on the first attempt.
How to score well on this one
- Block in the largest area first — on this flag that is red — then work down to the smaller shapes. Layout is 20% of the score and it is judged on where the blocks sit, not how neat the edges are.
- The off-centre cross 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 28:37. The canvas is already the right shape, so fill it edge to edge rather than leaving a border.
