These are my draft sketches.

For the Personal Flag Final, I chose two designs that represent me as a person: a three-headed dragon and wallflowers.
The three-headed dragon is a creature from Russian mythology that appears in some of my favorite cartoons, which are also popular in Russia. Wallflowers symbolize shyness, and I am a pretty reserved person. But since they could also be seen an earth element, it would correlate to my zodiac sign as I’m a Taurus.
I made 4 extra different colored version. The colors of the wallflowers are the same as you’d find in nature: orange, pink, purple, blue and yellow. The reason why the background and the wallflowers are similar in color but with different hues is to help emphasize the “quietness” of the wallflowers.

This was the step by step color process of my final version:

I chose this version because I like it best. The three headed dragon in the cartoon movie I mentioned before is red, so making the wallflowers blue made sense since they’re complimentary colors. The reason why I originally was going to go with a white background is because altogether it would resemble the colors of the Russian flag. But adding the light yellow seems to make my designs stand out better.
