How to Draw A Mummy

No need to visit foreign countries to learn how to draw a mummy as adorable as this one! Simply grab a pencil and a piece of paper and follow all six steps available below to create your own version. This fun cartoon creature is made from simple lines and duplicating this illustration should not be a problem, even for beginners or younger kids. Are you ready to start? Let's go!

Step 1

You can proceed with the creation of the body using a long and narrow rectangle. The head is made from a large oval shape and ears are drawn using small circles. See the illustration below for accurate position and proportion. 

Step 2

Great! You can now draw the arms using long rectangles with round corners. The feet are made from circles that are cut in half. 

Step 3

It's time to add several stripes all over the head, the body and the arms. It's important to keep this step as natural as possible. Lines can be irregular and placed randomly. 

Step 4

On the head of the cartoon mummy, you can draw large circular shapes to form the eyes. The pupils are also made from large circles. As you can see below, you can also partially hide the top of the eyes for a more interesting result. 

Step 5

Complete this tutorial by drawing large circles around the eyes. These circular shapes are only necessary if you wish to color the character and end up with a result that doesn't use any outlines. 

Step 6

Nice work! This cartoon mummy is simply to draw and create. Once you are comfortable with this creature, why not try different postures and/or different patterns? :)
