How to draw the flag of Kazakhstan
The flag of Kazakhstan is a central emblem on a plain field in sky blue and gold, with sun, steppe eagle and ornament. It flies at a ratio of 1:2.
Step by step
- Start with the right shape. Kazakhstan 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 sky blue first, then build the rest on top of it. Working from the largest area to the smallest keeps the proportions honest.
- Add the gold. 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 sun, steppe eagle and ornament. 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.
