🎃 Mummy Coloring Tutorial

There’s quite a lot happening in this old stone chamber — a cheerful mummy, a glowing lantern, a pumpkin, bats, and plenty of rocky details. The easiest way to handle it is to color one part at a time.

We’ll begin with the room and coffin, then move on to the mummy and the smaller Halloween objects. Once the base colors are in place, we’ll add shadows that separate the bandages, round out the pumpkin, and give the lantern and bats more shape.

Keep your pencils relaxed and let the picture build gradually. By the final step, the pale mummy will stand out clearly against the darker stone room, with warm orange and lantern tones bringing the whole scene together.

🪦 Step 1 — Color the Stone Room

Let’s begin with the old stone chamber around the mummy.

Use cool gray pencils for the walls, archway, and floor. Work through the stone sections one at a time, keeping your hand light so the color stays soft.

Then color the coffin with warm brown tones, including all its wooden parts and small details.

Keep everything simple and even for now. We’re only adding the first layer of color, so there’s no need for shadows yet.

Leave the mummy, bats, pumpkin, and the entire lantern completely uncolored for the next steps.

🏺 Step 2 — Color the Mummy

Now let’s add color to the mummy.

Choose warm ivory, cream, and light beige pencils for the bandages. Color each wrapped section gently, making sure the whole mummy is filled without leaving white gaps.

Add a bright color to the eyes and a soft pink to the mouth. These small touches will keep the mummy looking cheerful and playful.

Keep the colors light and even for now. We’ll add depth between the bandages later, so there’s no need for shadows at this stage.

Leave the stone room, bats, pumpkin, and lantern exactly as they are.

🎃 Step 3 — Color the Pumpkin, Bats, and Lantern

Now let’s finish the remaining characters and bring some warm light into the stone room.

Start with the pumpkin. Use bright orange for the main shape and green or brown for the stem. Then color the bats with dark gray, brown-gray, or muted purple, adding a slightly lighter shade inside their ears and wings.

Next, move to the lantern. Color the handle, top, body, and base with dark gray, bronze, or muted brown. Add a very pale blue-gray tint to the glass so it still looks transparent.

For the flame, begin with yellow in the center, add orange around it, and finish with a tiny touch of red near the bottom.

This is the first time we’re coloring the lantern, so make sure every part is filled in. Leave the mummy and the stone background exactly as they are.

🧱 Step 4 — Add Depth to the Stone Room

Now let’s make the old stone chamber feel deeper and a little more mysterious.

Take a darker gray pencil and begin around the outer edges of the picture. Add more color to the corners and sides, but keep the middle area around the mummy lighter.

Next, darken some of the narrow gaps between the stone blocks. Add a little more shadow inside the archway and directly beneath the coffin so it feels heavy and firmly placed on the floor.

Finish with a few darker strokes around the base of the lantern and between selected floor stones. There’s no need to shade every stone — a few well-chosen areas will create enough depth.

Leave the mummy, bats, pumpkin, and lantern exactly as they are. This step is only for the room around them.

✏️ Step 5 — Add Shadows to the Mummy

Now let’s make the mummy look less flat and bring out all the separate bandages.

Take a darker beige or warm gray pencil and add a clear shadow underneath each overlapping strip. Follow the curve of the bandages as you work, rather than drawing straight lines across the body.

Add deeper color around the head, arms, hands, body, legs, and feet. Darken the areas under the chin and hands, around the eyes, and wherever one part of the mummy overlaps another.

Make the narrow spaces between the bandage layers the darkest. This will help every strip stand out and give the mummy a much rounder shape.

Use darker beige and gray instead of black, and leave the room, bats, pumpkin, and lantern exactly as they are.

🎃 Step 6 — Add Shadows to the Pumpkin, Bats, and Lantern

Now let’s finish the smaller objects and give each one a clearer shape.

Start with the pumpkin. Use a darker orange or warm brown-orange and add curved shadows between every section. Darken the area under the stem, the lower curves, and the side turned away from the lantern.

Next, work on the bats. Add darker color inside the folds of every wing, beneath their bodies, around the ears, and where the wings join the body. Follow the wing shapes so the bats look folded and rounded rather than flat.

For the lantern, use darker bronze, brown, or cool gray. Add shadows under the top and handle, around the base, inside the metal frame, and along one side of each glass panel.

Keep the flame bright and untouched. Leave the mummy and stone room exactly as they are, and use dark gray or brown shades instead of pure black.

🏺 A Funny Halloween Activity with Mummies

Mummy coloring pages bring a playful Halloween mood without feeling too scary. Tangled bandages, funny expressions, and small adventures make the characters easy for children to enjoy.

Parents can print a few pages during the days leading up to Halloween, when children are already thinking about costumes and spooky characters. They also work well for a quiet afternoon or as something simple to do while waiting for a Halloween party to begin.

Teachers and kindergarten staff can use the pages after a Halloween story, add them to a seasonal activity table, or give them to children who finish another task early. The different scenes often lead children to invent their own stories about what the mummies are doing.

Finished drawings can be placed on the fridge, added to a classroom Halloween display, or taken home for parents. When several children color the same page, every mummy family ends up looking completely different.

All pages are provided as printable A4 PDFs with clean black outlines. Print at 100% scale to keep the original proportions and line quality.
