Notable and relief carving.

 “The ancient Egyptian sculptor had to be very familiar with the art of drawing at the beginning because the wall engraving and sculpture with the quality of the bas-relief and relief sculptures and then the three-dimensional sculptures all based on the basic drawing of the work that is etched or carved later.” 

 And the wall sculpture is divided into

 Prominent carving

  Carved gummy

 "The prominent carving was done after preparing the surface to be worked on. The full fees are placed according to the preparatory fees, then the areas around the drawings are removed to highlight the remaining shapes prominently on the surface, which requires a great effort and a long time, then the work is usually colored, after its completion and fixing its colors."

 “As for recessed carving, the shapes or their outer lines are carved deeper than the surface of the surface in the style of engraving, and so the surface level becomes higher than the recessed drawings. As for the details, they were carved strongly and at different depths to embody them.” 

 "In both cases, the drawing had to be used to develop the original design, which was done by the artist or another artist and may be modified by a larger artist responsible for the work until its completion." 

 The artworks that were found and not completed are the best evidence of the method and stages of work at the time and the best practical model that shows us the stages of the prominent sculptural process of mural paintings, which we find in the cemetery of Minister "Ramosa" - the eighteenth family - and it is located a good cemetery.

  We see all stages of it ... starting from the main lines drawn by the artist in red and corrected by another more experienced artist to the work of removing spaces around the drawing and leaving the drawings without details and some of them are finally completed and they are not completed from the finest examples of drawing and sculpting in the era of the state  Modern "

 "As for the three-dimensional statues, the matter is completely different from the wall sculptures, whether in terms of artistic stages or the method of implementation."

 "By studying unfinished models, the stages of stereoscopic sculpting were also determined ... where it necessarily begins with selecting the appropriate stone in size and mass ... in which the designer and artist see the shape to be extracted or created from it and this needs a trained expert eye like someone who sees the statue inside the stone before  This birth besides choosing the type and hardness of the stone or any other material .. Then the painter places external general lines to work on the surface of the stone and then empties around it to eventually become a general mass of the subject or body of the person then sculptures features and fine details after that and the sculptor may need to draw  Three general guidelines guide  Sides of stone - the face and sides - instead of the façade only, and it may need to redraw the guiding lines again after a stage of sculpting to guide them at a later stage .. This is what happened, for example - in carving the façade of the Abu Simbel temple on the facade of the mountain where it was settled  The surface of the façade, with an inclination outside from top to bottom, then put the four outlines of the four statues and empty them around to become general blocks of statues, after which the work is completed and the features and details are carved.

 "By necessity, these creations, along with muscular effort, patience and impressive skill in using simple tools to adapt the most difficult types of stones, the artist needs an insight into imagining the work on his final image before proceeding to start so that the colleague knows his way to extract the shape from the mass, especially in the case of huge giant works that  It gives the artist an opportunity to see it in full to review the proportions with a comprehensive view. Usually, the statue was carved while lying and then moved and installed in the place where it is to be placed after its completion .. So it must have been trained and received a large amount of technical education in all these areas and knowledge .
