Description: In this tutorial I am going to show you how to draw a cool looking mummy that is bloody, dirty, old, crusty, and creepy. A mummy is a dead human or other form of creature that has been preserved either by embalming or by decaying naturally from extreme cold conditions, severely low humidity, or other forms of natural environmental conditions.
