Visual Thinking Drawing Tutorial: Let's draw a flag!



How would you communicate the idea of Independence Day in a simple picture?

So many images spring to mind for me, but the easiest one to show you, that seemed like something you might use for other purposes *besides* just the Fourth of July, was the one in this video. �

After all, unlike fireworks (another Independence Day symbol), the image I chose for today can symbolize:

Honor
Bravery
Surrender (white)
Pride
Community
LGBTQ+ (add rainbow colors)
Culture
Mourning (half-mast)
Ahead of the crowd/leading the pack (flagship)
Patriotism
Nationalism
Any country on the planet (just add colors!)

Maybe you can think of more!

Happy Fourth to all the US-ers reading and watching!
