Draw the Senegal Flag From Memory

State the Senegal flag as two tasks before drawing: green-yellow-red vertical thirds and one centred green star. Work without an external image and reveal after the emblem is complete. Diagnose the first mismatch. Horizontal bands indicate Ghana interference, red at the hoist indicates reversal, and a black star indicates emblem-colour confusion. Preserve correct columns while adjusting the star, or preserve a good star while moving one boundary. The fixed-country retry keeps the problem constant and makes the next percentage evidence for a specific correction rather than a new guess.

The Senegal flag should remain identifiable at small size. Establish the green hoist before any other decision so the tricolour does not become Guinea’s red-yellow-green order.

The Senegal flag uses three equal vertical bands: green nearest the hoist, yellow in the centre, and red at the fly. A single green upright five-pointed star sits at the geometric centre of the yellow band. No circle, crescent, text, coat of arms, second star, or border appears. Official explanations connect the Pan-African colours with hope and faith, natural wealth, and sacrifice or determination, while the star carries ideas of unity and openness. The visible rule remains precise: green appears twice, once as the hoist field and once as the central emblem.

On the Senegal flag, yellow must remain visible around every star point. The emblem is not large enough to touch green or red and does not sit above the vertical midpoint.

The standard Senegal flag uses a 2:3 height-to-length ratio, with three equal vertical fields. Vexle retains its shared 300×180, or 3:5, scoring frame. Inside that normalization, the columns each measure 100 pixels and the star centre sits at 150,90. The structured model preserves the upright green five-point form and balanced scale, but it is a learning representation rather than a manufacturing template. Senegalese authorities should guide exact physical dimensions, colour values, star construction, and protocol.

Do not inset a narrower 2:3 Senegal flag rectangle inside the canvas. Fill the shared frame and protect equal columns plus exact centre placement, the relationships that transfer across formats.

Use “green gate, yellow hall, red exit” to remember the columns of the Senegal flag, then place a green star in the yellow hall. The repeated green links the hoist field to the emblem. Sweep from left to right while saying G-Y-R, then mark the canvas centre. To distinguish Ghana, rotate consciously: Ghana uses horizontal red-yellow-green fields and a black star. To distinguish Guinea, note that Guinea begins red and has no star. These comparisons attach orientation and emblem colour to the country rather than to a generic Pan-African palette.

A complete Senegal flag memory includes one point facing upward. Rotating the star or adding companions makes the central symbol less stable even if its colour remains correct.

Mark x=100 and x=200 on the Senegal flag canvas. Fill the left third green, the centre yellow, and the right third red. Mark 150,90, then draw an upright green five-pointed star around that point. Use equal outer radii and a smaller inner radius to keep the silhouette crisp. Leave yellow space above, below, and beside every point. Check that both vertical boundaries remain straight and that the star’s visual centre, not just its bounding box, aligns with the canvas centre.

Finish the Senegal flag by checking all four corners: both hoist corners green and both fly corners red. Correct column geometry before refining the star’s inner angles.

• Place vertical guides at x=100 and x=200.
• Anchor one upright green star at 150,90.
• Keep yellow space around the complete emblem.

The most common Senegal flag mistakes are turning the fields horizontal, reversing green and red, or making the star black like Ghana’s. Other drawings omit the star, centre it too high, rotate it, or enlarge it until points cross into neighbouring columns. Players may also begin red and create Guinea’s plain tricolour. Do not add a crescent, coat of arms, or text. Correct orientation, left-to-right order, and equal widths first, then star colour, centre, scale, and point shape. Broad geometry influences more of the comparison than one small inner angle.

If the Senegal flag looks close, compare yellow margins around the emblem. Unequal left and right space reveals horizontal drift even when the star appears centred within the full canvas by eye.

Before full independence, Senegal and French Sudan formed the Mali Federation, whose flag used green-yellow-red vertical fields with a black kanaga figure in the centre. When the federation dissolved in 1960, Senegal retained the Pan-African tricolour and replaced the central figure with a green star, creating the modern Senegal flag. The design linked the new republic with wider African unity while establishing a distinct emblem. Its vertical orientation also maintained a visual relationship with francophone tricolour traditions without copying the French palette.

For memory practice, the Senegal flag history offers a clear edit: preserve green-yellow-red columns, remove the black federation figure, and place one green star in the centre.

Vexle compares a submitted Senegal flag with three structured vertical fields and a fixed central star on the normalized 300×180 surface. Reversing outer colours affects two thirds, making horizontal bands changes broad geometry, and a displaced emblem creates differences on opposing sides. The percentage is visual-memory feedback, not certification of an official physical 2:3 flag. Review the reveal from columns to centre, identify the first divergent layer, and retry after selecting one correction.
