How to draw the flag of Nauru
The flag of Nauru is a one-of-a-kind layout in blue, yellow and white, with twelve-point star. It flies at a ratio of 1:2.
Step by step
- Start with the right shape. Nauru 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 one-of-a-kind layout. Place these shapes by eye against the edges of the flag, not against each other.
- Finish with the twelve-point star. 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.
