Master the Colors: Advanced Pokémon Coloring Tips & Techniques
Ready to make your Pokémon artwork truly shine? Go beyond simple flat colors by using these advanced tips. Mastering the right techniques for fur, fire, and electric effects will make your favorite characters look battle-ready and truly magical!
Technique 1: Mastering Pokémon Textures
Before you start coloring, remember that artists often check the official Pokémon Pokedex source to confirm the original colors and details of their favorite characters.
- Electric Aura (Pikachu & Zapdos): Use bright yellow and a lighter yellow (or white gel pen) to create small, uneven streaks around the cheeks or main body. Then, use a light blue or gray pencil around the outside edge to mimic a dynamic, buzzing energy field.
- Furry Volume (Eevee & Vulpix): Always color in the direction the fur grows. Use three shades of the main color (light, medium, dark). Start with the lightest shade, then add the medium shade, and use the darkest shade only for the deep shadows (under the chin, behind the legs) to give the fur realistic volume.
- Fire Glow (Charmander & Charizard): To create the fire effect, blend yellow (center), orange (middle), and deep red (outer edge). For the flames on the tail or wings, use the darkest color at the base of the flame and transition rapidly to yellow/white at the tip to show heat.
- Hard Shells & Scales (Squirtle & Onix): Use sharp pencils and high contrast. For Squirtle’s shell, use dark green/brown for the ridges and a bright yellow/cream for the flat plates. Leave a tiny white spot (a reflection) on the smoothest part to make it look hard and shiny.
Technique 2: Realistic Shading & Dimension
- Shadow Direction: Decide where your light source is (usually top-left). All shadows must be on the opposite side (bottom-right). This single step instantly adds 3D dimension.
- Mewtwo’s Psychic Power: To color energy attacks, use a very light pastel (purple or blue) and color the area around the hands/head very softly. Then, blend with white to make it look transparent and glowing.
- Crayon Blending: If you’re using crayons, color two different shades side-by-side, then use a white crayon over the top to press the wax together. This creates a surprisingly smooth blend, perfect for background colors.
Technique 3: The Final Poké Ball Touch
The Poké Ball is the symbol of the series, so make it crisp!
- Use a ruler or steady hand for the main dividing line.
- Keep the top half a solid, vibrant red (no shading needed).
- Keep the bottom half pure, flat white.
- Use a fine-tip black marker to sharply outline the central button for maximum pop and contrast.
10 Craft Ideas To Do With Pokémon Coloring Pages
Pokémon has endured as a classic favorite among youngsters everywhere. Don’t let those beautifully colored pages pile up! Try these terrific, inexpensive crafts to give your finished artwork a second life as a fun toy, room décor, or a functional gift.
Make Custom Trading Cards for Battle
Why buy cards when you can make your own? Color detailed Pokémon like Mewtwo or Charizard. Carefully cut out the figure and glue it onto sturdy cardboard (like an old box or poster board). Write the Pokémon’s name and its elemental attack on the back. Now you have custom, unique trading cards for an epic battle game!
Pokémon Master Bookmarks
This simple craft is perfect for school books or those long Pokémon novels. Color small, vertically-oriented Pokémon like Meowth or Jigglypuff. Glue the finished cutout onto a thin piece of poster board to stiffen it. For extra durability, seal the entire piece in clear contact paper. The bookmark is designed to slip easily into the book, keeping the reader’s place in style.
Functional Poké Ball Supply Organizers
Turn clutter into a custom piece of décor! Take two empty bathroom tissue cardboard tubes or small tin cans. Color a character like Pikachu and cut it out. Glue the character to the front of the cans, which will hold pens, pencils, and markers. Glue the two cans together, side-by-side, and use red and black craft foam or pom-poms to add details like Pikachu’s iconic cheeks for a fun desktop ensemble.
Create a 3D Battle Diorama Scene
Bring the Kanto region to life! After coloring several action-pose Pokémon (like Squirtle using Water Gun or a fighting Gengar), cut them out. Decorate the inside of a shoebox lid to represent a grassy battlefield or a sandy beach. Fold a small paper tab behind each Pokémon cutout to make it stand up, then arrange the characters in a battle formation for a cool 3D display.
Laminated Pokémon Place Mats
Laminating your artwork is the best way to preserve it. Print a large, complex coloring page featuring a group of Pokémon. Have your child color it completely. Once finished, laminate the page using a machine or clear contact paper. This turns their masterpiece into a reusable, custom place mat, making mealtime clean and fun!
Themed Masks for Role-Playing Fun
Perfect for costume play or birthday parties! Print a large, simple head drawing of a popular character like Snorlax or an evolved Eevee. Have the youngster color and cut out the shape, then carefully cut out the eyeholes. Glue the finished coloring onto stiff cardboard and attach elastic string to the back. They are now ready to take on the role of their favorite Pokémon!
Poké Ball Party Garland Decoration
Planning a Pokémon party? Color and cut out multiple circular designs—half red and half white—to perfectly mimic classic Poké Balls. Punch two holes at the top of each circle and string them together with twine or ribbon to create a festive, custom party garland decoration.
Pokémon Stained-Glass Window Decals
Create a beautiful light effect using a finished coloring page. Choose a simple, large character outline. After coloring, rub a small amount of cooking oil gently onto the back of the paper to make it slightly translucent. Once the paper dries, tape the edges to a sunny window. The effect of the light filtering through the colors creates a gorgeous stained-glass window look.
Custom Pokémon Keychains or Bag Charms
Small, cute Pokémon like Togepi or Eevee are perfect for this. Color and cut out the small figures. To protect them, cover the front and back entirely with clear packing tape to “laminate” the paper. Punch a hole at the top and add a keyring or safety pin. They make great zipper pulls or personalized backpack tags!
Master Ball Gift Wrap
Turn a gift into a Pokémon moment. Print a large coloring page of a single, simple Pokémon. Color it and trim the paper to fit the size of a candy bar or small box. Use small dots of invisible glue to wrap the coloring page around the gift, making it look professionally packaged. Use a gold marker to add a Master Ball emblem for the final touch!
