How to Draw the Dominican Republic Flag: 2:3 Ratio, Cross & Quarters
Construct the Dominican flag accurately from the official 2:3 rectangle, alternating blue and red quarters and the centered white cross with the national coat of arms.
Start with a 2:3 rectangle
The official flag proportion is 2 units high by 3 units long. A 600 × 900 pixel canvas is an easy working size for digital construction.
Draw the white cross
Place one vertical and one horizontal white band through the center of the flag, extending to all four edges. Official protocol describes the cross width in relation to the height of a quarter, so use an authoritative reference when preparing formal artwork.
Color the four quarters correctly
The upper hoist quarter is ultramarine blue. The upper fly quarter is vermilion red. The lower hoist quarter is red, and the lower fly quarter is blue.
Place the national coat of arms at the center
The coat of arms belongs at the exact intersection of the white cross. Because it contains detailed heraldic elements, including the open Bible, flags, branches and motto ribbons, use a reliable official artwork rather than simplifying it for formal reproduction.
