How To Draw The Egyptian Pyramids Of Giza

Let’s Draw the Egyptian Pyramids!

Today, we’re going to learn how to draw the famous Pyramids of Giza. Get your drawing tools ready, and let’s have some fun!

What You’ll Need

Before we start, make sure you have these things:

• Paper
• Markers or any drawing tools you like
• Something to protect your workspace

Step 1: Draw the Ground

First, draw a straight line across your paper. This line is the ground where your pyramids will stand. Make sure it’s a little lower than the middle of the page.

Step 2: Draw the First Pyramid

1. Make a Guide Point: Draw a dot near the left side of the paper. This will be the top of your first pyramid.
2. Draw the Pyramid Shape: From the dot, draw two slanted lines down to make a triangle.
3. Add Depth: Draw another slanted line from the top to make a side for the pyramid. This makes it look 3D!

Step 3: Draw the Second Pyramid

1. Position the Second Pyramid: Make a higher dot to the right of the first pyramid.
2. Connect the Pyramids: Draw slanted lines from the dot to connect with the first pyramid. Make sure the angles match.
3. Add Depth: Draw another slanted line to create the side of this pyramid.

Step 4: Draw the Third Pyramid

1. Create a Smaller Pyramid: Make a smaller dot further away.
2. Draw the Shape: Draw slanted lines to form the pyramid and add depth with another side.

Step 5: Add Smaller Pyramids

In front of the big pyramids, draw three smaller ones:

1. First Smaller Pyramid: Start with a slanted line that crosses the ground, then connect the bottom and add a side for depth.
2. Second Smaller Pyramid: This one has more layers. Draw two slanted lines for the base, connect them, and add layers on top.
3. Third Smaller Pyramid: Do the same as the second smaller pyramid, but with fewer layers.

Step 6: Color Your Pyramids

Now it’s time to color your drawing! Use any coloring tools you have.

1. Base Colors: Use yellow for the sun, a sandy color for the pyramids, and blue for the sky.
2. Add Shadows: Use a brown marker to shade the left side of the pyramids to make them look 3D.
3. Texture: Add horizontal lines to make the pyramids look like they have bricks.

Final Touches

To make your drawing even better, you can add:

• Extra shading to the smaller pyramids.
• Diagonal shadows at the tops of the pyramids.
• More texture lines to show the bricks.

Conclusion

Great job! You’ve drawn and colored the Pyramids of Giza. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and keep practicing. Your unique style makes your artwork special. Happy drawing!
