Pennywise Coloring Pages

Free Pennywise Coloring Pages: 63 printable PDF designs of the dancing clown from Stephen King’s It, with red balloons, sewer scenes, close-up faces, chibi and cartoon versions, and crossover jokes with Among Us and Hello Kitty. All sheets print free or color online.

Stephen King introduced Pennywise in his 1986 novel It, set in the fictional town of Derry, Maine. The creature is an ancient shapeshifter that wakes roughly every 27 years and most often takes the form of a clown to lure children, until a group of friends called the Losers’ Club fights back. Tim Curry first played the role in a 1990 TV miniseries, and Bill Skarsgård took over for the 2017 film It and its 2019 sequel, It Chapter Two. The 2017 movie became one of the highest-grossing horror films ever, and Skarsgård returned for the HBO prequel series It: Welcome to Derry in 2025.

The clown’s ruffled collar, puffy sleeves, and pom-poms give plenty of large shapes to fill. Face close-ups, sewer tunnels, and spider scenes add heavy shading work for older colorists who enjoy a dark palette.

What’s Inside This Collection

Moods, scenes, balloons, cute versions, and crossovers make up the 63 designs.

Scary, Angry, and Sad Moods

Thirteen sheets show the clown threatening, angry, monstrous, creepy, and even sad. Try a chalky Ivory face, Crimson lines running from the eyes to the mouth, and icy Pale Blue or eerie Amber eyes.

Classic Movie Portraits

Fourteen pages present the full costume in standard poses, including several labeled with the It movie. The 2017 suit reads as a faded Silver Gray with Rust Orange pom-poms, so try those shades for a film-accurate look.

Cute, Chibi, and Funny Pages

Twelve designs soften the clown into chibi, cartoon, happy, easy, and love-struck versions. Use brighter Pastel Yellow, Mint, or Baby Blue on the suit to make these pages playful rather than frightening.

Scenes and Actions

Eight sheets show the clown running, lying down, singing, appearing in the sewers, as a spider, at Christmas, and with children. Paint the sewer walls in murky Olive and Slate, and give the Christmas page Holly Green and Berry Red trim.

Face and Head Close-Ups

Six pages focus on the head, including a smiling face, a laugh, and a mask. Build the forehead and cheeks in layers of White and Light Gray, then deepen the eye sockets with Charcoal.

Red Balloon Pages

Four sheets feature the signature balloon. Color it a glossy Scarlet with a single curved white highlight so it pops against a dark background.

Crossover and Parody Pages

Six designs mix the clown with Hello Kitty, Lego, Among Us, and Jason Voorhees. Keep each guest character in its usual colors so the joke reads instantly.

What Pennywise Coloring Pages Do

Facing fears on your own terms. Coloring a famous movie monster turns something scary into something controllable. Choosing silly or soft colors can shrink a frightening image down to size.

Strengthening drawing control. Ruffles, pom-poms, and wrinkled fabric take careful strokes. American Academy of Pediatrics material shows hand precision gaining most rapidly between the toddler years and first grade, and fussy costume details give teens a way to keep that edge.

Winding down after a scary movie. In a 2005 Art Therapy paper, psychologists Curry and Kasser showed that participants given a structured pattern to color felt less anxious than those who drew freely. A cartoon clown page is a light way to decompress after a horror film night.

Studying horror storytelling. Pennywise shows how writers use familiar, friendly images like clowns and balloons to create fear. Teens can discuss why a cheerful costume becomes so unsettling.

How to Color Pennywise Pages Well

• White makeup: Let bare paper carry most of the face, with a whisper of pale Gray near the jaw and hairline.
• Red accents: Use one consistent Crimson for the lips, forehead lines, and balloon to tie the page together.
• Ruffled collar: Shade the inner folds darker and leave each outer edge lighter for depth.
• Pom-poms: Use small circular strokes in Orange to give them a fuzzy texture.
• Glowing eyes: Leave the iris pale, then circle it with Yellow for an eerie glow.
• Dark backdrop: Fill sewer or night scenes with deep Navy and Black so the costume stands out.

5 Creative Craft Ideas With Pennywise Coloring Pages

1. Red Balloon Display

Color a balloon page, then attach a real red balloon or a paper balloon cutout to the sheet with a string. Hang it on a wall for Halloween.

2. Horror Movie Night Placemats

Color the cute and chibi pages, set each on a larger sheet of black construction paper, and cover both sides with clear contact paper. Use them for popcorn bowls on movie night.

3. Derry Sewer Shadow Box

Color the sewer scene, fit it inside a shoebox, and add crumpled gray paper for the tunnel walls. A small red pom-pom works as the balloon.

4. Clown Mask Template

Color the mask sheet, glue it to cardstock, snip openings for the eyes, and knot the elastic through each side. It makes an easy costume accessory.

5. Crossover Comic Strip

Color three crossover sheets and line them up like comic panels with speech bubbles. Write a silly story about the clown meeting new friends.
