Draw the flag of Guinea from memory

What you are drawing

The flag of Guinea is three equal vertical bands — red, yellow and green from the hoist. It flies at a ratio of 2:3. 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

• 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.
• There is no emblem to draw here, so a clean, well-proportioned set of colour blocks can score in the nineties.
• Draw it at 2:3. 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 — red, yellow then green — starting at the flagpole. Say it out loud once and you will still have it tomorrow.

Opening this before you draw is allowed. It just will not help your score.
