Draw the flag of Sudan from memory

What you are drawing

The flag of Sudan is a triangle at the hoist over horizontal bands in red, white, black and green. It flies at a ratio of 1:2. On the PlayVexle difficulty scale it rates ★★☆☆☆ — a flag most people can reproduce closely on the first attempt.

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.
• There is no emblem to draw here, so a clean, well-proportioned set of colour blocks can score in the nineties.
• 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 triangle at the hoist over horizontal bands in red, white, black and green. Everything else on the flag hangs off that.
