Halloween mummy colouring ideas and tips
To start coloring this sweet mummy, you can focus on the bandages. While traditional mummy bandages are white or beige, you can add a special, fun twist using pastel colors like lilac, mint green, or light blue. If you prefer to keep it classic, use colored pencils in light greys, adding shadows between the layers of bandages to give it depth and texture. You can even make some of the bandages shine as if lit by the moonlight or Halloween lanterns.
The mummy’s big eyes can be the centerpiece of the drawing. Color them in deep black, but don’t forget to add some bright white highlights to give them life and a charming gaze. If you want to make it even more special, try colors like purple or green to give its eyes a mystical, magical aura.
The background can be as simple or detailed as you like. You could draw a dark sky full of stars or maybe a big, round moon behind the mummy to set the scene for Halloween night. Shadows beneath its feet and some details on the ground could add more realism and give the sense that it’s walking down a mysterious path.
This drawing reminds us that not all Halloween characters are meant to be scary. This mummy, with its innocent gaze and carefully wrapped bandages, could be the star of a fun Halloween story. Maybe it’s on a mission to collect candy or searching for friends to enjoy the spookiest night of the year with. The mummy, a symbol of ancient Egyptian legends, transforms her into a friendly, lively character, ready to make anyone who colors it smile.
A fun fact about mummies is that in ancient times, Egyptians believed wrapping the deceased in bandages prepared them for eternal life. But this little mummy seems more concerned with enjoying the present than thinking about eternity!
