What you are drawing
The flag of Papua New Guinea is bands running corner to corner in red, black, yellow and white, with bird of paradise and Southern Cross. It flies at a ratio of 3:4. 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
- Block in the largest area first — on this flag that is red — 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.
- The bird of paradise and Southern Cross 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 3:4. 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: bands running corner to corner in red, black, yellow and white. Everything else on the flag hangs off that.
