How to Draw an Alaska Flag
Draw an alaska flag in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the flag pole.
Step 1: The flag pole
On the left draw a tall thin pole from near the bottom to near the top. Add a ball.
Step 2: The waving flag
Start on the pole below the ball. Wave the top edge out to the right, come down, and wave back.
Tip Make the flag big: it needs room for 8 stars.
Step 3: The North Star
In the top right corner of the flag draw 1 big star with 5 points.
Tip Start with the top point, then make all 5 points the same size.
Step 4: Three handle stars
Start near the pole, halfway down. Draw 3 smaller stars in a row sloping down to the right.
Tip Leave a little gap between the stars.
Step 5: Top of the bowl
Just below the last star draw 1 more. Draw another far to its right, a little lower.
Step 6: Bottom of the bowl
Under each of those 2 stars draw 1 more small star to finish the bowl.
Tip The 7 small stars make the Big Dipper, shaped like a pan with a handle.
Step 7: Ground line
Draw a long flat ground line under the pole, from the left side to the right side.
Step 8: Yellow ball, grey pole
Colour the ball on top of the pole yellow and the pole grey.
Step 9: Gold stars
Colour all 8 stars golden yellow, right into every point.
Step 10: Dark blue flag
Colour the flag dark blue around the stars. Go over your lines. Your Alaska flag is waving!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an alaska flag, drawn by you.
