TheOdd1sOut Coloring Pages

Free TheOdd1sOut Coloring Pages: 20 printable PDF designs of James and the recurring cast from the animated storytime series. Every page can be downloaded as a PDF or filled in through the online coloring tool, both free and without an account.

TheOdd1sOut is the work of American animator James Rallison, who began posting webcomics in 2012 before launching his YouTube channel in 2014. His storytime animations, built around exaggerated retellings of his own life, have grown into a channel with more than 20 million subscribers. Rallison also co-created and voiced the lead character in Oddballs, a Netflix animated series based on the same cast of characters, and has written two bestselling books under the same name.

Fifteen of the 20 pages are solo character portraits distinguished mostly by file name. In comparison, five confirmed pages show more specific scenes, including a beach camping trip, a drawing session at home, a group hangout, a Christmas scene, and a forest adventure. Since the art style stays simple and consistent throughout, the coloring approach shifts mainly with the setting rather than the character design itself.

What’s Inside This Collection

Two groups make up the 20 pages: simple solo character portraits, and a smaller set of confirmed scene-based designs.

Simple Solo Portraits

The majority of this collection shows a character alone, repeated across many pages under different file names rather than genuinely different poses. Coloring suggestion: keep the simple, rounded art style in mind, using flat, consistent colors rather than heavy shading, since that matches the show’s actual visual style.

Scene-Based Designs

A smaller group shows specific moments: a beach camping trip, a drawing session, a group hangout, a Christmas scene, and a forest adventure involving duck costumes. Coloring suggestion: let the setting guide the palette, warm sandy tones for the beach scene, cool greens for the forest, festive reds and greens for the Christmas page, rather than repeating one scheme across every scene.

What TheOdd1sOut Coloring Pages Do

Simple shapes, smooth fills. The show’s simple, rounded art style uses large, uncomplicated shapes rather than fine detail, and filling those shapes in smoothly and evenly without going outside the lines is still real practice, the controlled coloring the American Academy of Pediatrics associates with building fine motor skills in children ages two through seven.

From a webcomic to a Netflix series. James Rallison started out posting simple comics online in 2012, and by 2022, the same characters and stories had grown into Oddballs, a full animated series on Netflix that he co-created and voiced himself.

An ordinary moment, made worth noticing. The show’s whole appeal comes from turning ordinary, everyday moments into stories worth paying attention to, and a coloring session does something similar with time itself, turning a plain stretch of the day into a structured, focused activity, the kind a 2005 Art Therapy Journal study linked to reduced anxiety.

Real life, exaggerated on purpose. The show’s stories are based on Rallison’s own experiences, retold in a deliberately exaggerated, comedic way, which is part of why the characters and scenes in this collection feel like a specific, ongoing story rather than a generic cartoon.

How to Color TheOdd1sOut Pages Well

• Character bodies: use flat, consistent colors rather than heavy shading, since the show’s actual art style favors simple, bold color over fine detail.
• Hair and clothing: keep colors consistent for each character across every page they appear on, since that consistency is part of what makes them recognizable.
• Beach scene: use warm sandy tones and a bright blue sky, keeping the campfire in warm oranges and reds.
• Christmas scene: Use festive reds and greens, since this page is specifically built around a holiday mood.
• Forest scene: Use cool, layered greens for foliage, keeping character colors bright enough to stand out against the background.
• Indoor scenes: keep backgrounds simple and uncluttered, since the show’s actual settings tend to favor a few clear objects over busy detail.
