Now I'm starting to draw the pyramid of
Djoser with few other buildings in the
necropolis
it is a step pyramid in Saqqara
necropolis Djaser was the first King in
the third dynasty of Egypt in 2670 B.C. At
first the monument was built as a mastaba.
The mastaba was upgraded two times but it
was not enough for the King. We think the
architect Imhotep in 2667 B.C. conceived a
more impressive tomb for the King Djoser
and built three other mastabas on top of
one another.
Then upgraded this step pyramid to six
steps from that we know today.
The pyramid complex consists of the Step
Pyramid, the House of the North, the House
of the South, the Serdab, the Northern
Mortuary Temple and some other buildings.
The complex size was some as normal live
city in ancient Egypt. I'm deciding which
side is darker of the pyramid then I
started to draw.
The other buildings in the Necropolis it
is in the front, I use darker tones for
it and I use darker contours because it
is the nearest building on the picture.
Then I add some extra details with these
contours.
I finished a based tone on this side.
I have to look after the lines
direction because the horizont it's just
a few centimetres upper in the bottom of
the page. Every line has to go to the
to the horizon from the nearest corner
of the pyramid -this is the middle of it.
Now I add some extra dark
tones
and it came closer.
Yeah and I finished.
The next is Snefru's Blunted pyramid
Snefru was the first thing of the
fourth dynasty in the 25th century BC
between 2570 B.C. and 2450 B.C. At first he
finished pyramip of Huni who was the
last king of the third dynasty. His
pyramid had gat 7 then 8 steps. After
that the steps were filled and it became
the first real pyramid. It's high was 93,5 meters. Nowadays looks like a
tower with one or two steps but you can
see the original steps structure.
He built two pyramids in Dahsur
the first was the famous planted pyramid.
I'm drawing it now.
It was 105 meters high. Under
construction the engineers had to modify
the angel of the sides. It had got two
entrance one is on the northern and the
other is on the western side. A few hundred
meters to the north the Red Pyramid was
built same angles like the upper parts
of Blanted Pyramid by Snefru.
I'm just cleaning a paper around the
pyramid
and I use darker tone and darker
contours here
for some extra details.
I add an base shadow and base layer for
the the pyramid.
Here is the nearest corner of it -it
was broken down.
I read an absolutely new use on the
Internet-
it is still open so you can visit it now
again. The last time when it was open I
think it was 1985 so you can go and
watch it in real life.
I try to put the pyramid in a
landscape with these few lines and with
this tones.
It is an extra darker tone.
And I finished.
I have started to draw pyramids of Giza.
Three main pyramids are Mencaure's Kafhre's
and Khufu's pyramids.
Khufu was the son of Snefru. Next to
the three main pyramids we can find the
three pyramids of Queens, the mastabas
of officeholders and the Great Sphinx.
The three big pyramid was built
between 2600 and 2500 B.C. The complex is
next to Giza capital of Egypt. The oldest
pyramid is Khufu's pyramid. It is 138
meters high but originally it was 147
meters high.
It contains two and a half million piece
of fashioned stones each two and a half
tons weight.
The man-made ground differs just
to centimeters from the real level. Sides
length are 230 meters and 40 centimeters.
The building orientation was very
important the pyramids corners were
calibrated so precise into points of the
compass. The entrance is on the north
side. Archaeologists found 43 meters
long both in the chamber in the pyramid.
The ancient Egypt's believed the soul of
King has to travel with the world to the
northern sky. The other interesting
subject that was found in the pyramid is
the granite stone sarcophagus.
It was too big to carry in the pyramid
it had to be put in during the
construction before the pyramid was
finished.
We can see on the drawing the sunlight
has concrete direction so the pyramids
have strong and dark tone drop shadow .
We
have to make drop shadow darker than the
self shadow because it could give
weight for the objects. In the drawing it
could help us to put the pyramids in the
three dimension place. I'm starting to
draw the horizon in the background. It
should be horizontal but in the video it
is differs from the normal level -but
just in the video not in my drawing. I
put some
closer stones and closer ancient
buildings here in the front.
I like to add with it plus one extra
dimension but I don't like if it would
be too concrete because I would like
hold as a main theme the three pyramids.
so I put here under the pyramid some
extra darker contour.
Plus extra stones on the pyramid.
We can see on the middle pyramid on
the top of it and extra layer it is an
whiter cover layer. These
pyramids were covered with white stones.
In the modern times Giza was built
with these white stones so people stolen
these these white stones for their buildings.
I try to find on the left side the
horizon. I put here an extra tone and
the drop shadow of the Menkaure's 
pyramid.
Here is the tone of the sand.
And I finished it.
