What you are drawing
The flag of Sri Lanka is a central emblem on a plain field in maroon, gold, green and orange, with lion, sword and bo leaves. 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 maroon — 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 lion and sword and bo leaves 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.
Stuck? Open a memory hint
Anchor on the biggest shape: a central emblem on a plain field in maroon, gold, green and orange. Everything else on the flag hangs off that.
