Draw the flag of Madagascar from memory

What you are drawing

The flag of Madagascar is a vertical band at the hoist beside horizontal bands in white, red and green. 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

• Block in the largest area first — on this flag that is white — 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.
• 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

Anchor on the biggest shape: a vertical band at the hoist beside horizontal bands in white, red and green. Everything else on the flag hangs off that.

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