How to Draw a Scotland Flag
Draw a scotland 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: pole and ground.
Step 1: Pole and ground
Draw a tall thin pole on the left, a ball on top, and a ground line from edge to edge.
Step 2: The waving flag
Start on the pole below the ball. Draw a wavy top edge, a straight right side, a wavy bottom edge.
Tip Make the bottom edge copy the wave of the top edge.
Step 3: Top V
Start on the top edge near the left corner. Draw a wide V down to the middle and back up.
Tip Stop the point of the V just above the middle of the flag.
Step 4: Bottom V
Start on the bottom edge near the left corner. Draw an upside-down V up to the middle and back.
Tip Leave a gap between the two points: that gap is the middle of the X.
Step 5: Left V
Start on the pole near the top corner. Draw a sideways V to the middle and back to the pole.
Step 6: Right V
Start on the right side near the top corner. Draw a sideways V in to the middle and back.
Tip The 4 Vs leave a big X with arms all the same width.
Step 7: Wind lines
Off the right edge of the flag draw 3 short wind lines.
Step 8: Yellow ball
Colour the ball on top of the pole yellow.
Step 9: Grey pole
Colour the pole grey.
Step 10: Blue triangles
Colour the 4 triangles blue and leave the big X white. Go over your lines. Your Scotland flag is waving!
Tip Colour the blue right up to the lines, with no white gaps.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a scotland flag, drawn by you.
