Guatemala
What you are drawing
The flag of Guatemala is three equal vertical bands — blue and white from the hoist, with coat of arms and quetzal. It flies at a ratio of 5:8. On the PlayVexle difficulty scale it rates ★★★★☆ — one of the harder flags to recall accurately, mostly because of the detail in the middle.
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 flagpole is the single thing most people get wrong.
- The coat of arms and quetzal 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 5:8. 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 then white — starting at the flagpole. Say it out loud once and you will still have it tomorrow.
