How to draw the flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina
The flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a central emblem on a plain field in blue, yellow and white, with triangle and stars. It flies at a ratio of 1:2.
Step by step
- Start with the right shape. Bosnia and Herzegovina flies at 1:2 — for every 2 units of width the flag is 1 tall. Sketch that rectangle first; a flag drawn too square is the fastest way to lose layout points.
- Block in the background. Fill the whole flag with blue first, then build the rest on top of it. Working from the largest area to the smallest keeps the proportions honest.
- Add the yellow and white. A central emblem on a plain field. Place these shapes by eye against the edges of the flag, not against each other.
- Finish with the triangle and stars. Detail is the last ten percent of the score, so leave it until the colour blocks are down. Size and position count for more than drawing every line of it.
