Top Ten Hardest Country Flags to Draw

Turkmenistan

I bet someone was creating a regular flag, some stars with a crescent moon, but then some idiot came along and made the poor guy draw that design on the left.
This really helped us kids out here trying to draw some flags!

Now, you may be angry at the design on the left. But that design represents Turkmenistan's carpet-making industry, with the five patterns representing the five tribes. So it has a reason for being there.

There must have been a way simpler method to represent the five major tribes or houses than those difficult-to-draw carpet designs.

Bhutan

The reason I chose Bhutan is that the Turkmenistan flag, although really hard, is a pattern. So once you get started, you get the hang of drawing it. Bhutan, on the other hand, is not a pattern. So it would take much longer to draw.

The Turkmenistan flag has a pattern, but the dragon is completely different. It's also really hard to draw the dragon with the right proportions and position.

Good luck to anyone trying to draw this. There is way too much detail on this flag. It makes it look a bit ugly. The color scheme is very unique.

Belize

There is so much content to it. There are loads of different colors, and it would take forever just to get proportions right, as somebody said for the Bhutan flag, but this is even worse because there is so much stuff to compare it to. I know what I'm talking about anyway...

As a citizen of Belize, I gotta say, it's kind of hard to draw the coat of arms, aka everything in the white circle.

The hardest flag in the world to draw by far. It has so many colors and symbols, and it's hard and stuff.

Afghanistan

The background, black, red, and green isn't that hard. The hard parts are the mosque, the Arabic letters, and what looks like crops. The mosque itself is hard, the Arabic letters are so hard, and the intricate designs resembling crops.

Technically, this isn't their flag, and their new one is kind of like Saudi Arabia's. Still, it's very hard.

The flag was so hard, but my drawing almost looked exactly like the Afghanistan flag.

Belarus

Wow, those motifs are cool but so hard to draw. The green and red background isn't that hard, but those white motifs are insanely hard.

Belarus so far is not as hard as Turkmenistan or Afghanistan, though the left side can be a struggle.

It's one of the hardest flags to draw due to the pattern on the left.

Wales

Growing up in a Welsh primary school, this flag was the hardest to draw in a detailed way.

It's a complex dragon. Maybe not as much as Bhutan, but it's a literal dragon! It's never going to be easy.

This is the reason why Wales is not included in the Union Jack.

Brazil

According to the stars, some are so tiny that they are almost impossible to get through, but still not as hard as the ULTIMATE TWO.

Mexico

It may start out easy when you draw like the Italy flag, where you just trace two lines with a ruler to make three squares, then color the left dark green and the right red. But when you get to the bird eating a worm standing on a cactus part, you're going to have a hard time drawing that.

So, you might be thinking this is just like Italy. WRONG! Mexico has a coat of arms that is complicated enough to be in the top 10.

Look at the shading of the wing! Enough said, really. Most people forget that there's a snake being eaten! Now draw that.

Sri Lanka

This flag is slightly harder to draw due to the lion on the right side.

Very hard due to being one of the oldest designed flags in the world.

Swaziland

I have no idea what the centerpiece is in the middle of Swaziland's flag.

Swaziland's flag looks like it was designed by someone high on acid.

Yes, drawing the spears and the pelts can be easy, but the curly lines inside the oval can be challenging.

?

Peru

This flag is extremely difficult to draw. Look at the emblem!

I prefer the non-emblem version.

?

Bolivia

Ecuador

This should be higher. It's the Colombian flag, but with an eagle and a picture of a river below it.

Serbia

Ah yes, my home country! The coat of arms is the only reason that it's hard.

The crown speaks for itself, let alone adding the bird in all its scary glory.

This should be higher than the Canadian flag.

Cambodia

Since Cambodia is one of the lesser-known countries (I am from here), it does not get credit for having its prided Angkor Wat on its flag. Having the flags of the USA and Canada ahead of this beauty is blasphemy. It will not beat Turkmenistan or Belarus, but I believe it should be in the top 10.

Why does the temple have to be there? Really, it could just be a star or a circle.

I had to draw this flag for a school project, and it was really hard!

United States

Ahh, USA. This is No. 3. The reason why is because the USA has the most stars of any flag ever. 50 stars, to be exact. Man, so many stars in that blue square.

Indeed, the stripes don't seem that hard, but the stars seem pretty challenging if you ask me.

It's somewhat hard on A4 since you have to fit quite a lot of stars in that blue box.

Spain

I had to draw this for my class, and I am still in elementary school. I ended up printing it. When I showed my mom, she was surprised. I think it should be higher ranked. Why should three stripes be harder than this, really...even my little brother could do that!

Whew, that drawing is over there.

Saudi Arabia

Voted for this. My handwriting is so bad people can't differentiate between my F and R...almost every letter looks the same. No joke, even I get confused sometimes. So, there's no chance I'd get these squiggly lines right. Flags with figures and humans are way too easy to draw.

Just translate: "There is no god but Allah. Muhammad is the messenger of God." into Arabic and copy the text by handwriting!

Where would you even start drawing this monster?

Croatia

It's very difficult to draw the crown due to it being squished with many details. I personally think it should be a little higher on the list.
Definitely upvote the USA because it's just some stripes and some stars.

Iran

Now, I may not like Iran in the Middle East, but I do like the flag design. The pattern is what matters. For me, this is No. 7.

The flag is really good until you zoom in and see the green and red patterns. Horrible. Ruins the whole flag.

Sigh, the red part in the middle isn't too hard, but that pattern...

Kazakhstan

Drawing that eagle and the pattern on the left can be really tough.

I tried drawing this flag, and the bird looked nothing like the one on the flag.

Mozambique

Is it just me, or does the symbol remind you of the USSR?

Brunei

Mastering the emblem in the center of this flag will take many hours of practice.

As a Bruneian myself, it's hard for me to draw the coat of arms. This flag is hard to draw.

Haiti

The hard one is the coat of arms. It's small and very hard.

Looks like they could not find a transparent image of their coat of arms.

Australia

Australia needs to be ranked higher. I can only draw a five-pointed star, not a seven-pointed star.

San Marino

The flag is pretty nice, but the emblem ruins it! At least there is another variant so you can kind of avoid having to draw the emblem.

Hard to draw. If you mess up one detail, it has an impact on the rest of the flag. However, the end result is beautiful.

Why do two of Italy's neighbors have such crazy and insanely difficult flags to draw?

Canada

The maple leaf design is nice, but if you're a schoolchild, it will be impossible to get it right. Most attempts are just squiggles in red crayon.

Canadian here. Try drawing this flag, biased foreigners...

Canadians all agree that mastering the ability to draw the maple leaf in the center is a life goal.
