Why Learn How to Draw King Tut?
Students can get some good practice drawing faces, when they draw King Tut’s mask. The features are bold and simple, without a lot of detail like eyelashes, etc. Only s few clean lines are needed to show his handsome eyes, nose and mouth.
King Tut’s headwear is also a great example of not one but two types of symmetry. The top has stripes radiating out from his face (radial symmetry) and the sides have matching stripes (mirror symmetry). Students that want to have a very balanced drawing of King Tut will need to draw their stripes carefully. It may take extra time, but the finished eye-pleasing symmetrical look is well worth it!
About King Tut
King Tut – short for King Tutankhamun, was a pharaoh during Ancient Egypt’s New Kingdom. He’s mostly known for his famous tomb and the supposed curse that followed those who opened it. As a pharaoh though, his reign was not that remarkable, and it lasted less than a decade.
Tutankhamun died when he was only 18, and his golden coffin was buried in a tomb in the Valley Of The Kings, surrounded by 5,000 priceless treasures.
