HOW DO I MAKE AN INTERESTING FLAG?
well, that depends! what do you define as interesting? different people have different opinions on what makes a flag interesting — so take a look at the flags your favorite coiners make. what makes their flags theirs & recognizably such?

here are some examples of some 'trademarks' that make certain coiner's flags recognizable!

PHANTASVERIE — detailed symbols with two different colored outlines , varied color palettes in one flag , slightly desaturated slightly bright color usage in every flag

ACETRAPPOLASWIFE — lots of frills & lace , hearts , many details & lots of gradients , 3d coloring

CINNAMOGAI — bright & pastel colors , unique symbols ( usually outlined once or twice ) , flowers , symbols / drawings coming out of the stripes

so , to make an interesting flag is different for everyone. usually though , this is through symbols, interestingly shaped stripes, & color choices! as we have other sections on symbols & color choices , we'll be focusing on the middle one!

to make interesting stripe designs , you can either draw them out yourself , or — and this is what i do — use dividers!

























we usually use dividers from the following rentries as stripes for our flags! — /underheroin3/horrorautistic/pixelprism/narcissistic/rentry/meruru/ulzzang/stockingcoded/lesbiian/wip/rsrcs/resource

personally, adding different patterns to certain stripes is fun too! it separates stripes and can give a layered look depending on how you color them and what stripes you apply them too! here's some patterns that we use:

i also think you can add a bit more dimension to your flags by adding frames or vignettes / blur frames! if you're using ibispaint x, these are accessible through fx —> frame. otherwise:
