Digital coloring example

Two children hold mirrored French flags, blue beside each pole, white in the middle and red at the free edge; remaining scene white.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Blue beside the pole
  • 2. White center
  • 3. Red free edge
  1. Find each flagpole. Color the panel beside it blue: left edge of the left flag, right edge of the right flag.
  2. Keep both middle panels white.
  3. Color the free outer panel of each flag red. Leave children, poles and ribbon white.

Each flag reads blue, white, red when you start at its pole, even though the flags face opposite ways.
