Craftsmen were appreciated rather than respected in ancient Egypt. Craftsmen did not sign their work. But their work was appreciated. A craftsman with skill usually enjoyed a very comfortable lifestyle. Although their work was not signed, word did get around.The Egyptians had a unique way of drawing people. They drew heads, eyes, legs and feet positioned as if you were looking at them from the side. But they drew the shoulders and the chest as if you were looking at them from the front. Men were usually drawn with dark colors. Women were usually drawn with light colors.
