A small collection of Egyptian hieroglyphs. Things to bare in mind when creating my own are:

-The torso’s are always facing forward.

-The heads are always in profile.

Egyptian hieroglyphs can be read from either right to left or left to right. This is indicated by the direction the characters (letters) are facing.

They also wrote in columns and being very fond of symmetry, if they wrote in columns with the characters facing right, they would often inscribe the same characters mirroring them. Columns are read from top to bottom.
