Egyptian Art Lesson

The Egyptian Figure - 2

The Egyptian Figure - Step 2

In the second stage of this drawing we have added a headdress, a pectoral decoration and a tunic.

Any solid black areas, such as the hair are shaded in with charcoal.

Do not worry if the charcoal becomes smudged as this can add to the texture of the work in its later stages.

The headdress is an example of the Royal Vulture Crown.

Pectoral decorations are large oramental necklaces which are worn over the chest. These necklaces often supported a large piece of jewellery like the one in the drawing below:

Tutankhamun's Pectoral Jewel

This image is copied from a pectoral jewel discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Its design is based on the hieroglyphs from his cartouche.
