The Amazing World of Gumball is a Cartoon Network comedy created by Ben Bocquelet that ran for six seasons from 2011 to 2019. It follows Gumball, a 12-year-old blue cat, and his best friend and adopted brother Darwin, a pet goldfish who sprouted legs, as they turn ordinary days in the town of Elmore into chaotic adventures.
The show is known for mixing art styles, placing hand-drawn characters next to puppets, 3D models, and real photographs. On these pages, every character is reduced to clean outlines, so kids get to decide whether Elmore looks cartoon-bright or close to the show’s surprising mix of textures.
What’s Inside This Collection
Across the 64 designs, the Watterson family takes center stage, with Gumball featured most often.
Gumball Watterson
Gumball appears scared, angry, crying, laughing, running, as a baby, and with a goldfish. Color his fur Sky Blue with a slightly darker Blue for his ears and tail stripes, and keep his big eyes White with a Black pupil.
Darwin Watterson
Darwin smiles, dances, runs, and even flies across his pages. Give him a bright Orange body with Yellow Orange highlights, and color his legs and shoes in contrasting shades so they stand out against his fishy shape.
Gumball and Darwin Together
More than a dozen pages pair the two brothers, from eating lunch to celebrating together. Using the same blue and orange on every page keeps the duo instantly recognizable.
Anais, Nicole, and Richard
Anais, the clever little sister, appears with her toy and in cute portraits, while Nicole and Richard show their very different personalities. Color Anais and Richard Pink like the rabbits they are, give Anais an Orange dress, and use Blue for Nicole’s fur to match Gumball.
Penny and Elmore Friends
Penny Fitzgerald, Banana Joe, Carmen, and Tobias represent Gumball’s classmates. Penny’s peanut shell body takes Tan with Brown antlers, Banana Joe is Yellow, Carmen is a Green cactus, and Tobias is a rainbow of stripes.
What The Amazing World of Gumball Coloring Pages Do
Turning big emotions into conversation. Gumball is never subtle about how he feels, and his pages show him scared, angry, crying, and laughing within the same set. Kids can color each mood, name it, and talk about when they have felt the same way. Comparing a crying page to a laughing page also shows how artists use eyebrows, mouths, and posture to express feelings.
Hand control on simple, bold shapes. Structured coloring supports fine motor development in children between 2 and 7, a connection the American Academy of Pediatrics draws in its guidance on early play. Gumball’s round head, Darwin’s simple fish body, and Anais’s long ears offer large, clear areas that are easy for small hands to fill. Group pages with Banana Joe, Carmen, and Tobias add more edges and small details for kids ready for a bigger challenge.
Laughing while calming down. Structured coloring lowered participants’ anxiety in a 2005 study featured by the Art Therapy Journal. Gumball’s slapstick poses keep the mood light, so coloring becomes both relaxing and funny. Short sessions with a single character, such as Smiling Darwin Watterson, make an easy reset after school.
Exploring family and friendship. The Wattersons are messy, loud, and loving, and the show often finds humor in everyday family moments. Pages like Gumball and Darwin Eating Lunch or Nicole and Gumball Watterson invite kids to talk about their own siblings, parents, and best friends. Darwin’s story as a pet who became a brother also opens a sweet conversation about how families come together in different ways.
How to Color The Amazing World of Gumball Pages Well
- Flat, bright fills: The Wattersons are drawn in a simple 2D style, so solid, even colors work best. Press with steady pressure to avoid streaks.
- Matching family colors: Keep Gumball and Nicole the same, Sky Blue, and Richard and Anais the same, Pink. Consistent colors show who is related at a glance.
- Darwin’s shine: Leave a small white curve on Darwin’s head and body. The highlight suggests his wet, glossy fish skin.
- Big cartoon eyes: Color pupils Black and leave the rest of each eye White. Large, clean eyes carry most of the expression in this show.
- Tobias’s rainbow: Work through the rainbow from top to bottom across his stripes, starting with Red and ending with Violet. Following the rainbow order keeps his design accurate.
- Mixed media backgrounds: For a twist, glue a real photo or magazine cutout behind a character. It mimics the show’s habit of placing cartoons in real-looking settings.
