How to Draw an Eye of Horus
Draw an eye of horus in 10 easy steps, about 8 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: the long eye.
Step 1: The long eye
Across the middle draw a long eye: a tall curve over the top, a flatter curve below, pointed corners.
Tip Make it long, like a lemon lying on its side. Keep it a little left of the middle.
Step 2: The eyebrow
Above the eye draw a long thick eyebrow, curved like the top of the eye, with round ends.
Tip The eyebrow is longer than the eye. It reaches past the outer corner.
Step 3: The round iris
Inside the eye draw a big circle, nearly touching the top and the bottom.
Step 4: The black pupil
In the middle of the circle draw a smaller circle. Colour it black, leaving a tiny white shine.
Step 5: The tail
From the right corner of the eye draw a thick tail out to the right, with a round end.
Tip The tail ends under the end of the eyebrow.
Step 6: The drop
Under the eye, below the left side of the circle, draw a thick drop straight down, like a thin U.
Step 7: The long curl
Right of the drop, draw 2 lines from the eye sweeping down and right. Curl them round into a swirl.
Tip Keep the 2 lines side by side, getting a little closer as they curl in.
Step 8: Gold drop and curl
Go over your lines. Colour the drop and the long curl yellow, like gold.
Step 9: Blue iris
Colour the ring round the pupil blue. Leave the rest of the eye white.
Step 10: Navy eyebrow and tail
Colour the eyebrow and the tail navy blue, and your Eye of Horus is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an eye of horus, drawn by you.
