Ancient Egypt
Draw Like
an Egyptian Project
Egyptian art is plain and simple,
but, it's different from normal art. You too can draw like an
Egyptian by following the four easy rules. You will just need
a pencil, some crayons and some unlined paper.
- Draw the head and the neck
of your picture from the side view. Add one eye as it would look
from the front. Then outline the eye in black and add an eyebrow
that is curved and black. Draw the lips also from the side view.
Draw a black wig showing the ear for both men and women.
- Draw the shoulders and chest
as if you're looking at them from the front. The arms are drawn
according to what the figure is holding.
- The hips, legs and feet are
drawn from the side view too. Men wore short skirts and women
wore straight dresses that were held in place by two straps.
- When your outline is done,
color the skin a dark tan. Clothes were mostly white but you
can add a brightly colored jeweled collar that men and women
both wore. (by Katie Korder and Michael Ambrose)
