Egyptian Sculpture Step by Step

After looking at Egyptian art, design your sculpture of a historical Egyptian God or recognizable figure. Draw a front view and side view to show it's contour.

Add traditional color and decorations,

Show both the front view and profile in color.

Find the main form or armature that you will be using.

Create the shape that will be used to express your character.

Use newspaper or foil to add detail to your sculpture.

Attach with glue or tape.

Now you can see the Jackal snout and its tail. When you get the form the way you like it, it's time to paper mache.

Using a flour and glue mixture, cover your form with two coats of paper mache.

Let dry. Then, its time to paint. Refer to your color sketch for the finishing touches.
