What you are drawing
The flag of South Africa is a green horizontal Y with a black hoist triangle, red above and blue below. It flies at a ratio of 2:3. 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 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.
- 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.
