- 1). Cover your subject's face with gold face paint, avoiding the eye area.
- 2). Trace around the eyes with the eyeliner as though applying heavy makeup.
- 3). Extend the blue eyeliner horizontally from the outside corner of each eye toward the temple with 1/2-inch lines creating the "Egyptian eye," as referred to today in the world of women's makeup.
- 4). Darken the eyebrows using the eyeliner. Continue the brows, lengthening them outward and parallel to the makeup lines extending from the eyes. Make the brow lines the same length as the eye lines below.
- 1). Draft a U-shape for the king's face with a black pencil crayon. Add two lines for the neck and continue to draw shoulders. Sketch the ears, nose and full lips.
- 2). Shade the face softly with a gold colored pencil, allowing Tutankhamen's facial features to show through.
- 3). Press heavily around each eye with a blue pencil. Draw blue lines, continuing outward from each eye and ending midpoint between the eye and imaginary hairline.
- 4). Form intense blue eyebrows that become parallel to the outward eye lines. End the brows at the same point as the extending lines from the eyes below.
- 5). Draw a line straight across the top of the U-shaped face to start the headpiece. Create a blue and yellow striped "scarf" for the head area that falls to drape over the young king's shoulders. Sketch a flairing cobra's head in the center of the pharaoh's forehead.
