How to Draw an Egyptian
Draw an Egyptian in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: egg head.
Step 1: Egg head
Near the top of your paper, draw a big soft egg head, a little narrower at the chin.
Tip Make it about half the page tall.
Step 2: Big eyes
Below the middle of the head, draw 2 big tall oval eyes one eye apart. Add black dots and shines.
Step 3: Nose and smile
Draw a tiny U nose between the eyes. Under it, draw a wide smile from eye to eye.
Step 4: Eyebrows
Above each eye, draw a short curved line for the eyebrow, like a little rainbow.
Step 5: The headdress
Draw a tall arch outside the head, with 2 long flaps hanging down well below the chin.
Step 6: Gold band
Start on the head's left above the eyebrows. Draw 2 curves close together across the forehead, stopping on the right.
Step 7: Stripes
On each side flap of the headdress, draw 3 short straight lines across, one under the other.
Step 8: Neck and shirt
Draw 2 neck lines under the chin, then shoulders sloping out behind the flaps. Add a U collar.
Step 9: Gold collar
Start at one flap and draw a big U necklace, stopping at the other flap. Add a smaller U inside.
Step 10: Pink cheeks, peach skin
Colour 2 pink cheeks. Colour the face under the band and the neck peach around them. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Gold band and collar
Colour the band, the collar and every other flap stripe yellow like gold, starting with the second one.
Step 12: Blue headdress
Colour the headdress blue around the gold, above the band and between the flaps and neck. Leave the shirt white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an Egyptian, drawn by you.
