Drawing the Australian Flag: A Fun Guide

Let’s learn how to draw the Australian flag together! Get your pencil, paper, and coloring tools ready, and let’s have some fun!

What You Need

• Pencil
• Paper
• Coloring materials (like markers or colored pencils)

Step 1: Make a Border

Start by drawing a border around your paper. This will help you keep the flag the right size. Use a ruler to make straight lines. Press lightly with your pencil if you want to erase later.

Step 2: Divide the Flag

Now, split your flag into parts. Draw a light line down the middle of the paper from top to bottom. Then, turn your paper and draw another line from side to side. This will make a rectangle in the top left corner for the Union Jack.

Step 3: Draw the Union Jack

In the top left corner, draw the Union Jack:

1. Draw two dark lines to find the center of the rectangle.
2. Turn your paper and draw another cross shape.
3. Erase the extra lines inside, leaving just the cross.

Step 4: Add Diagonal Lines

Draw diagonal lines to make an “X” shape inside the cross. Make these lines dark so they stand out.

Step 5: Draw the Commonwealth Star

Below the cross, draw the Commonwealth Star, which has seven points:

1. Start with an upside-down “V” shape.
2. Add diagonal lines to make the star’s points.
3. Connect the bottom points to finish the star.

Step 6: Create the Southern Cross

On the right side of the flag, draw the Southern Cross constellation with four stars:

1. Draw the first star at the top.
2. Draw the second star below the first one.
3. Draw the third star near the Union Jack.
4. Draw the fourth star a bit higher and to the right of the third.

Step 7: Erase Extra Lines

Erase any leftover lines inside the stars to make your drawing neat.

Step 8: Color the Flag

Time to color! Use red and blue markers:

1. Color the red parts of the Union Jack, leaving the white borders.
2. Color the blue parts of the flag, keeping the stars white.

Final Touches

Look at your flag and make any changes to the colors or lines if needed.
