This wheel contains every country in the world
0:02
I'm going to go ahead and spin the wheel, and whatever country appears, I have to try and draw the flag of that country completely from memory
0:09
So, what have we got? What's the first country? It is Latvia. Okay, that's quite an easy one
0:14
So, we are starting in Microsoft Paint, and I cannot really get this wrong
0:19
Well, I mean, I could get it wrong. I've thought that before, to be honest. Let's hope this is not one of those occasions, though
0:24
Basically, I'm pretty sure that that is the Latvian flag. Okay, opera, please reveal the actual avian flag
0:30
Yeah, there we go. You could argue that I made the white bit a little bit too thin
0:35
but it's close enough that it's still a correct answer. Okay, now we remove Latvia and we spin again
0:40
What is it going to be this time? There are 194 different countries
0:44
Obviously, some of those are really obscure. Some of those flags are really obvious. What have we got
0:48
Tuvalu. Okay, Tuvalu's come to mind. I think I'm going to be okay. We do blue to begin with, and then I need a Union Jack
0:55
Oh, goodness. What would be the best way to draw a Union Jack? With the blue like this
1:00
Yeah. And then I fill that in. And then what does the Union flag look like again? Is it red in the middle or is it white in the middle
1:05
It's red in the middle, yeah? So in that case, I'll do the white first
1:09
Uh, oh god. Yeah, this is gonna work. It's gonna be great. Just don't doubt it
1:13
Have faith in me, please, everybody. All right, colour that in, colour that in, colour- Oh, no, no, no
1:17
And now the red bits. Oh god, why is it blue? Here we go
1:22
Oh yeah, this is looking fantastic. It's a bit off-sender here and there
1:25
But you see what i'm trying to achieve and then I think all that's left are some yellow stars like this and they're kind of in a
1:31
Diagonal, I don't know exactly how many yellow stars there are if I could get it exactly right. That would be just fantastic
1:38
I'm gonna go with that. So that's six yellow stars with a blue background and a union jack
1:42
All right, opera browser, please reveal the correct answer. Oh, it's close, but I need more stars
1:49
I needed three more and they need to be laid out differently but considering that's quite an obscure flag
1:53
I think I did quite well there. Let's give ourselves three quarters of a point on that one
1:57
All right third flag. This is going quite well so far. What are we gonna have this time though
2:02
I do not know and the next country is Go on. It's guinea. Oh, okay. All right. I would be thrilled if I managed to get this right
2:12
I know that it is a tricolor flag with red yellow and green
2:15
But I don't know the order of those three colors and I know that mali has a basically identical flag as well
2:21
Let's try green on this side and then yellow in the middle and then I'll do red on the end Oh
2:27
Is that gonna be Mali or is that gonna be guinea? Let's just go with it
2:30
Obviously, it's a little bit uneven, but i'm drawing in microsoft paint. All right, oh pro. What's the correct answer
2:36
Yes, we got it. Oh, i'm buzzing with that. That's a tricky one. That's a full point go on don't mind if I do
2:41
All right, we're now spinning again And if this is a difficult one i'm gonna use my little special ai power up, which i've been so far saving
2:49
So what is it? Let's see Nigeria. Nah, I don't need a power up for that. Nigeria is really quite simple
2:55
It's just two green on either side with white in the middle and I think the green
3:00
Yeah, I think the side greens are a little bit narrower than the middle white
3:04
So that's what i'm going to submit. Let's take a look. Were we correct? Absolutely. We were correct
3:08
It does look like the three shapes the same size though, which fortunately i've ended up doing anyway
3:12
So that's a full point again and now we are spinning again. What is it gonna be this time
3:17
I like watching it spin. I mean, actually, it looks quite ugly because there are just way too many countries in this wheel
3:22
But anyway, what is it? San Marino. Oh, okay. Right, this is quite tricky
3:26
So I know that it is a blue and white background. I think, is it blue on the top or is it white on the top
3:32
I'll try blue on the top and see how that looks. Nah, nah, nah
3:36
Let's do white on the top. I think that's more like it. Yeah. And then basically in the middle, there's some kind of like quite detailed coat of arms
3:43
I don't actually know what it is. Right, we need to enhance for this one. I don't think I've ever enhanced in a drawing flags video. That's how serious this is about to get
3:51
but I am pretty sure that there is like a nice kind of Banner thing get that filled in there you go. And then I think it actually says San Marino on the banner
4:00
So let's just quickly try and write that. Yep. This is looking fantastic
4:05
Looks like I didn't take up enough space. So let's just put some exclamation points. There you go
4:10
And then what is it a gold crown or something? Maybe I don't know what this is
4:14
I have no idea what i'm drawing. Yeah, great crown jack get it colored in anyway
4:19
There may be just some more cool wiggles. Yeah, nice wiggles jack. This is looking great
4:24
I'm, not sure i'm getting full points on this one Is there some like grass in it some leaves maybe yeah, there could be some leaves
4:31
We'll add some leaves here and there just around the outside fill in the leaves jack get those leaves colored in
4:36
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the good stuff. Very nice. Right. That's what i'm submitting
4:39
It doesn't look great. But remember it is a microsoft paint version So Opera let reveal the actual flag Here we go Oh okay So the blue and the white are correct It does have a crown It has a white banner but it says Libertas as opposed to San Marino
4:54
So let's take that away. But it does have the foliage too. What I have completely missed out on is the little landscape with the castle
5:00
So I actually am quite proud of that. But yeah, let's give ourselves half a point
5:04
Okay, time to spin again. So far, we're doing quite well. I'm actually pleased with that San Marino, you know
5:09
I know I didn't get it exactly right, but I think we did okay. Okay, next is Central African Republic
5:15
Oh, okay. So I can visualize kind of the position of things
5:19
but the Central African Republic flag has a lot of different colors. And I would not be able to name those colors
5:23
nor would I be able to say what position those colors go in. So that's why I'm going to use my little AI assistant, Aria
5:29
that's built into the Opera browser. And I'm going to say, please describe the Central African Republic flag
5:37
I get to use this lifeline once in this video. Ah, here we go. Four horizontal stripes and one vertical stripe
5:43
The colors used are blue, white, green, and yellow. These stripes are overlapped by a central red vertical stripe
5:50
I would not have been able to say what color that stripe was. And then in the upper left corner of the flag is a yellow five-pointed star
5:55
Perfect. Okay, blue, white, green, and yellow. Is that just the order from top to bottom
6:00
Let's ask for more detail. See if it'll answer that. Oh, Ari is telling me what each of the colors represents
6:05
This is fantastic. All right, I'm going to assume the order is based on what was mentioned, which means I need blue at the top
6:10
There you go followed by white which is already done. Then I need green looking good and then yellow at the bottom
6:17
Right, then we need a red vertical stripe rephrase. All right, go on then vertical stripe that is red
6:22
Yeah, there we go. Oh my god. It's really come together now I just recognize this now and then I remember that it is just the yellow star at the top
6:30
All right, opera, please reveal the flag Perfect. Yes, that's a full point if i've ever seen one
6:35
So as you've just seen aria the ai assistant is really fun and useful to mess with and it is built
6:40
right into the opera browser which you can download for free but jack i already have all of my book
6:45
marks and passwords saved to a different browser i don't care mate once you've installed opera the
6:50
first thing that pops up is would you like to import your bookmarks and passwords and a few
6:54
seconds later all your bookmarks and passwords have moved over i've talked about opera quite a
6:58
few times at this point stuff like the built-in music player the cool backgrounds and the smart
7:03
tabs that you can reveal and hide but i want to know those of you that have already downloaded
7:07
opera with my link what's your favorite feature what have you found really useful let me know in
7:11
the comments down below while you're down in the comments in the description you will find a link
7:14
to download opera for free and support me in the process thank you so much well we nailed that one
7:20
but my power up is now gone so we are spinning again and it is all on my brain here we go what
7:26
have we got the next country i'm drawing is turkey all right quick undo there you go turkey flag
7:32
that's an easy one right i'm sat here down myself but it's just red with a white moon and a star in
7:36
the middle i can do that so i'll do my star first of all there you go put it about there and then
7:40
these moons are always quite tricky to draw but i'll give it my best shot oh not like that try
7:46
again there we go and then same again yeah i mean it's not kind of it's always just never comes out
7:53
quite right does it but it'll do you see what i'm getting out yeah there you go all right i'll reveal
7:57
the turkey flag i don't think i deserve a full point there that moon is terrible that needs to
8:02
to be so much more curved that is a pathetic little moon it looks more like a little crisp
8:06
or something and the stars at the wrong angle as well give me half a point that was an easy one i
8:11
definitely should have done that better the next country on the list is go on go on go on go on
8:17
it's go on here we go sudan oh okay the wheel takes way too long to spin by the way sudan's
8:22
tricky i wish i'd used the aria lifeline on this one it's the stripes with then a thing on the side
8:28
i think the thing on the side is blue and it maybe has a yellow star in it but i might be getting
8:32
and mixed up with South Sudan. All right, let's do a black background. Oh God, I'm gonna screw this up
8:37
I think it's red on the top. Oh, it could be red on the bottom though. Oh God
8:42
And then white in the middle. Does that look right? I've created Yemen there
8:46
Let me try black on the top and red on the bottom and see if, yeah, maybe that's Yemen
8:51
Let me add the triangle in and maybe that'll help me out. I'm gonna go blue
8:55
Oh, I don't think this is right. I think I might have the colors wrong or something
8:58
Let's do that. Yeah, there you go. That's not right, is it? Why is that not right? I don't know what to do instead. Is it green? Maybe it is. No, I don't think it's green
9:06
Red up the top and black on the bottom. Oh, I don't think that's right
9:10
But i'm gonna just submit that it kind of yeah, why not wait should I add the star? Let's have the yellow star
9:15
I don't know if this is correct either fill it in fill it in. Well, we've created a flag
9:20
All right, sudan flag reveal yourself. Ah, it was green. I actually got the background colors correct as well
9:26
For reference, this is what the south sudan flag looks like so you can see what has happened there
9:31
I think we should be quite strict I think it would be offensive to South Sudan to give myself a point there So let give me no points for that one All right What gonna be next Here we go I like doing this one while I spit it for some reason I don know why go on What is it Come on Here we go
9:45
Here we go and it is Guyana, okay, that's quite a fun one to do so guyana
9:50
I know has a green background, right and then it's some cool dramatic shapes. How do I draw this? It's yellow and red
9:56
Is it that way or is it the other way? I'm gonna try it that way. Hang on. Hang on. Go back
10:01
I need to do a more exaggerated line like that. I think hang on
10:05
Hang on. It needs to go in the middle. Pull it together, Jack. You got this. You got this. All right. Like that kind of thing
10:10
Yeah. And then I need to make this yellow. And then I think it's just red that I need kind of around the middle, like there or something
10:17
Is that right? This isn't right at all, is it? Is that right? That's not right
10:21
What the hell is that, Jack? The Guyana flag looks so cool. And that looks absolutely dreadful
10:26
What am I missing? I think there's like black outlines, maybe. Is there white involved somewhere
10:30
I don't know we could try throwing some white in the mix. Why not put that there
10:35
You know what i'm going to try it's not purple. It's just a placeholder I'm gonna try the yellow bit being red and then this bit being yellow. I think that looks better
10:43
This is not right. Is there even green in it? I'm so confused by this one
10:46
I think there's black lines though So maybe if I just add some black lines everything will magically come together and I won't be as sad anymore
10:53
Yeah, it's definitely not magically coming together. I will be honest I can't think of anything better to do
11:00
The green's throwing it off. We're just gonna have to submit it. I don't think we're getting any points here
11:04
Right, yeah, did not go great, that did it? So there is a black border, but there's also a white border
11:09
So that's what threw that off. The triangle's facing the complete wrong way. The green and red are on the correct side, but they should be inverted
11:16
So really, I did not nail that at all. But it's good that we could at least see where my brain was going
11:21
It's difficult from memory. It's weird how you can recognize a flag instantly
11:25
but drawing one completely from inside your brain is very tricky. That's no points, by the way, just in case it wasn't obvious
11:31
We are spinning again. I don't know why, but I feel the need to just talk until it stops spinning
11:36
That's why I get weird each time. Right, what have we got? The next one is Croatia
11:41
Okay. Oh, I was about to draw Czechia then. That was a close one. Croatia. What's the Croatian flag look like
11:46
It's really, really difficult. Oh no, it's just popped into my head
11:49
There is a lot of detail in this one. There's a central emblem and the emblem's got like white and red squares on it
11:55
But what do I put in the background? I think I'm gonna really screw this up
11:58
I'm after a big rectangle, please. I'm gonna try a blue, white, and red tricolor
12:04
I don't think that's correct at all. It looks European though, doesn't it? We need to do the emblem now
12:09
Oh God, how do I do this? I don't know. It's like, um..
12:12
Oh God, what does this look like? Let's do a round shape. I know that this is not quite right
12:16
I'm really screwing this up. I'm really sorry, Croatia. I've never drawn the Croatian flag before
12:21
I'm gonna get this so wrong. I don't even wanna look at the correct answer. That being said, I'm looking forward to filling in these squares because that's going to look quite satisfying
12:29
Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop
12:36
Yeah, there you go. This is what we're talking about. Look at that
12:39
Have I got that wrong somewhere? No, I was missing these bits. There you go. It looks better
12:44
No, it doesn't. The thick lines have ruined the crisscross that I was going for
12:48
So I can remember the way that I learned this flag originally, like back two years ago
12:53
was Croatia has no crows. That was the mnemonic I said in my head
12:57
And that is because there's different animals up here and none of them are crows
13:01
I don't know what any of them are. So instead, I'm just going to draw four different squiggles
13:05
and pretend that they're different things. I have got this so wrong. Let's shove some blue into this
13:10
Yeah, get some blue in there. Why not? That actually kind of works. Maybe the background should be red
13:15
I don't know. I'm going to submit that. Go crazy. Blue there. Why not? No, that's definitely not right
13:20
All right, Croatia. Put me out of my misery. Let's see it. Ah, there is blue
13:25
The blue's at the bottom. Oh, as soon as I do that, it looks way better. Okay, and there is blue at the top
13:30
And they are animals as well. You can see what I was attempting. I don't deserve no points there
13:36
I think I deserve half a point. Let's give me half a point. Right, get rid of this monstrosity
13:40
Oh, God, look at them go. Bye, bye, bye. I'm spinning again
13:45
Still 189 different countries. What are we going to have? The next country is Chad
13:52
Nice, I can do that in theory. I could get the order wrong
13:55
But I don't think i'm going to I think it is blue then yellow and then red
13:59
But let's be honest. It definitely could be yellow then Oh, that doesn't look right. Maybe the red will save the day. Yeah, that's right
14:05
You know what because it's chad rather than romania, we're gonna do a slightly darker blue. Look at that
14:10
All right, reveal it to me. Ah beautiful that blue spot on
14:14
I deserve 10 points just for that shade of blue alone, but I will resist don't worry about it
14:19
Let keep spinning these wheels What are we going to have next The next flag that we are drawing is oh check here speaker the devil all right check here i should be okay with maybe i know what the shape is it a kind of a
14:33
diagonal isn't it like this yeah that's what we're after but it's just working out the colors i think
14:37
it's white at the top and then blue at the bottom and then red over here is that right i need a
14:42
lighter blue that's not right all right placeholder purple and then i'm switching this to blue and
14:46
this to red. Yes, there it is. That's the familiar Czechia flag that I know and love, I think
14:51
possibly. Czechia flag, reveal yourself. Perfect. Very nice. Got a bit wiggly down there, but we'll
14:56
just ignore that. I'm spinning again. We are doing good today. We don't have a bad score at all. I'm
15:00
holding my head up high. The next flag that I am drawing entirely from memory is, oh, Iraq. Oh
15:07
right. We should be okay. I might get mixed up with Iran is the trouble, but we'll hope for the
15:11
best. So the Iraqi flag, I think, is red at the top, and then I think it's white in the middle
15:16
And then I think it's black at the bottom. Let's try that. Does that look good? Oh, hello there old friend
15:21
It's got some green symbols that I think is written in hebrew or arabic
15:26
I'm, sorry that I don't know the answer to that. So I need to do a little defined squiggle there
15:31
Yeah, very nice and then I think there's a different kind here Obviously i'm just gonna get these wrong
15:36
But if I can get three different symbols, then we'll hopefully be okay
15:39
That looks good kind of looks like squidward in the middle. Yeah, i'm gonna submit that. Let's see and it's kind of more
15:44
two defined symbols as opposed to three but the colors are correct this symbol here is somewhat
15:50
similar but it's two instead of three should we give ourselves half a point yeah why not half a
15:55
point is spin again spin again what are we gonna have here we go cannot wait to find out the next
16:00
country that i am drawing is oh hold on what is it central african republic get out of here central
16:07
african republic you had your time now i have to do the weird talking thing where i don't stop
16:11
talking until it stops spinning and i feel like if if i do stop talking the world will end what is
16:16
it it's uh ireland that's an easy one so ivory coast and the flag of ireland do look very very
16:23
similar but the difference is for ivory coast you swap the orange and the green and i always remember
16:28
green being on the left first position because green is so well associated with ireland so this
16:33
should be definitely correct obviously always ignore my little black bars i just can't be
16:36
bothered to get rid of them all right ireland flag here we go yeah perfect thank you very much
16:41
Right, we're doing two more flags. The spinning has already begun. And the next country that I am drawing is..
16:48
Oh, Suriname. Okay, I think we'll be fine. There's a big yellow star in the middle
16:51
And then it's green and red stripes, I think. And there might be some white in there as well
16:55
I'm not 100% sure. Yeah, I think there is. I'm gonna leave a little white gap just there
17:01
Hmm, that doesn't look quite right to me. But I'm hoping for the best. Maybe that does look right on reflection
17:05
We'll draw the star and then we'll go from there. Oh, that has really brought things together
17:10
I got that scented. Okay, I just want to try yellow instead of white
17:14
I don't think so. I think it is white. I think maybe there's extra yellow
17:18
Do we have yellow here or something maybe? I just feel like it's missing a little bit of oomph to it, you know
17:24
Something like that. We'll leave it like that. This isn't quite right, but I'm curious as to what I've got wrong
17:28
Ah, look at that. I just got the sizing wrong. The yellow lines shouldn't be there and the white should be way thicker
17:35
And my star is just a bit too big. But okay, we were close. Let's do half a point or something
17:40
Why not? All right. We are now doing our final flag. So let's make it a good one
17:44
Something really fantastic. Something nice and obscure. If this is easy, I am spinning again
17:50
Palau. That's way too easy. We'll do a bonus flag. I'll just quickly get this one out of the way
17:54
Look at that. Palau. Move it over a bit. Perfect. Give me a difficult one
17:57
Come on. Something challenging to end off the video. What is it
18:01
And it is Mauritania. There you go. What is the Mauritania flag
18:06
I know what the Malawi flag looks like. I know what the Mauritius flag looks like. But what's Mauritania
18:11
I think it's got the moon and the star. Yes, it does. And then it's green and red
18:15
I'm not going to get this 100% right. It's green. And then quite similar to Suriname
18:19
Got these red bits here like that. Yeah, this looks good. Okay, I'm going to get more creative with how I draw my moon
18:27
If I draw a green over the top of that. Yes, that is what we're talking about
18:32
What have I been messing about with those squiggly lines for? All right, and then
18:37
Oh, we've created something really special Alright, if I've gotten this mixed up with another flag
18:42
I'll be devastated because I'm proud of that Oh no! It's the wrong way up, Jack
18:48
I knew it just didn't look quite right But I got so excited about my moon
18:51
That everything else went out the window Alright, all the elements are there But I just needed to do a 90 degree change
18:57
So we'll get half a point There's my end score We did quite good
19:00
But as always, there is room for improvement Thank you very much for watching this Slightly longer drawing flags video
19:06
Hopefully you did enjoy it. Remember, please do download Opera for free to try it out
19:10
and support me at the same time. Really do appreciate it. All right, I'll see you later
