How to draw the flag of Kyrgyzstan
The flag of Kyrgyzstan is a central emblem on a plain field in red and yellow, with sun and yurt crown. It flies at a ratio of 3:5.
Step by step
- Start with the right shape. Kyrgyzstan flies at 3:5 — for every 5 units of width the flag is 3 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 red first, then build the rest on top of it. Working from the largest area to the smallest keeps the proportions honest.
- Add the yellow. 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 and yurt crown. 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.

A trick for remembering it
