Draw the flag of
Egypt
What you are drawing
The flag of Egypt is three equal horizontal bands — red, white and black from top to bottom, with eagle of Saladin. It flies at a ratio of 2:3. 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 3 bands down as flat blocks before anything else. Which colour touches the top is the single thing most people get wrong.
- The eagle of Saladin 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 2:3. The canvas is already the right shape, so fill it edge to edge rather than leaving a border.
