How to draw the flag of Ukraine
The flag of Ukraine is two equal horizontal bands — blue and yellow from top to bottom. It flies at a ratio of 2:3.
Step by step
- Start with the right shape. Ukraine flies at 2:3 — for every 3 units of width the flag is 2 tall. Sketch that rectangle first; a flag drawn too square is the fastest way to lose layout points.
- Divide the height into two. Mark the halfway line before you fill anything in. Even bands matter more than neat edges — the scorer cares where the colour blocks sit.
- Band 1: blue. Fill the first band from the top with blue. Use the fill tool rather than shading — flat blocks score better than sketchy strokes.
- Band 2: yellow. Fill the second band from the top with yellow. Use the fill tool rather than shading — flat blocks score better than sketchy strokes.
