I drew this piece at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, CA. Of course, the Sphinx is the focal point but there was a structure in the background with hieroglyphic writing carved into it. I used the real characters but some may be a bit out of order. The grass in the foreground is papyrus that the Egyptians are well known for using to make paper.
The hieroglyphics and papyrus were done in many layers of colored pencil.
The Sphinx
Professionally framed in glossy mahogany wood.
