Step by Step Irish Flag Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Sketch the Flag Top and Left Pole

Start by drawing a short vertical line down on the left side of your paper. Then, from the top of that line, draw a long wavy line going to the right — this will be the top edge of the flag waving in the wind!
Step 2 – Draw the Bottom Curve of the Flag

Now connect the vertical line with another wavy line at the bottom to complete the flag shape. This curvy rectangle gives the flag its flowing, fluttering look.
Step 3 – Add the First Stripe

Time to divide the flag! Draw a curved vertical line about one-third into the flag from the left. This starts the green section of the Irish flag.
Step 4 – Finish the Three Flag Stripes

Add one more curved vertical line, splitting the remaining part into two sections. Now you have the three parts of the Irish flag: green, white, and orange!
Step 5 – Draw the Flagpole

Let’s finish the structure by drawing a rectangle below the first vertical line. This will be the pole holding the flag up!
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face and Color It In!

Time for fun details! Draw two small black dots for eyes in the middle stripe, and a little curved smile between them. Now color the left section green, the middle white, and the right section orange — just like the real Irish flag!
