Draw the flag of Philippines from memory

What you are drawing

The flag of the Philippines is a triangle at the hoist over horizontal bands in blue, red, white and gold, with sun and three stars. 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

• Block in the largest area first — on this flag that is blue — 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 sun and three stars 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.
