Draw the flag of
Netherlands
What you are drawing
The flag of the Netherlands is three equal horizontal bands — red, white and blue from top to bottom. 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 top 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.
