Nerfertiti was a famous queen of ancient Egypt. You can learn how to draw Nefertiti with this easy, step-by-step portrait drawing guide.
Nefertiti's name means "A Beautiful Woman Has Come," and she has long been a symbol of beauty. This portrait or bust of Nefertiti is highly detailed and realistic.
It is based on a bust from about the year 1340 BCE. The statue is currently housed in the Neues Museum of Berlin.
Nefertiti was the wife of a pharaoh, and it is possible (though uncertain) that she may have been the mother of the famous king Tutankhamen. You can learn how to draw King Tut's sarcophagus here.
Nefertiti and her family were discovered in the Valley of the Kings, in rock tombs. They were not buried in pyramids, as in the Pyramids of Giza drawing. In fact, it would take an hour by airplane or seven hours by car to travel between the two sites today.
