Draw the flag of
São Tomé and Príncipe
What you are drawing
The flag of São Tomé and Príncipe is a one-of-a-kind layout in green, yellow and red, with two black stars. It flies at a ratio of 1:2. On the PlayVexle difficulty scale it rates ★★★☆☆ — the kind of flag where the colours are easy and the arrangement is not.
How to score well on this one
- Block in the largest area first — on this flag that is green — 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 two black 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.

Anchor on the biggest shape: a one-of-a-kind layout in green, yellow and red. Everything else on the flag hangs off that.
