Draw the flag of Mongolia from memory

What you are drawing

The flag of Mongolia is three equal vertical bands — red and blue from the hoist, with soyombo symbol. It flies at a ratio of 1:2. 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 soyombo symbol 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 1:2. 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 then blue — 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.
