1. Who Is Pennywise? – The Scary Clown!
Now, before we get into the colors, you need some Pennywise education. He’s not your everyday clown. It’s a very ancient and evil thing from outer space! He was created by an author named Stephen King in a 1986 novel.
That’s a creature that runs on fear. He emerges every 27 years to terrorize children in the town of Derry. Pennywise is best known from a TV miniseries in 1990, and two feature films in 2017 and 2019. These movies really seared his terror into our brains!
Nothing Pennywise wants more than to terrorize the populace and then have so much fun it kills itself. Take whichever form you desire, but his preferred one is that of a clown. But more often than not, he’s a scary clown. Check out his signature red balloon, his razor-sharp teeth, his big, haunting smile, and his bright, vintage-inspired suit.
All of these features combined make him really easy and fun to draw. That’s why his frightening mask is just so fun to draw or color in!

6. Tips for Coloring a Creepy Clown
To make your Pennywise coloring pages super spooky, just keep in mind how you play with the colors. You don’t have to stay in the lines!
Base Colors: Begin with the primary colors. For his skin, make him look pale with the use of white and gray. Red is essential for his balloon, his nose, and the creepy lines near his eyes and mouth. Take bright red to really pop this part.
Spooky Shadows: This is how you scare him up! Use black or dark blue for the shadows, particularly on his eyes, under his chin, and on the folds of his clothing. That adds a depth that makes him look more evil. Think about where light wouldn’t go, and make those shadows really dark.
Come Dramatic Bright Spot: If you want to be really scary, add some blood-red or crimson at one or two bright spots. Maybe around his teeth or the edges of his smile. It also adds a raw, unsettling detail that renders him even scarier.
Right Tools: Colored pencils are good to smoothly blending colors in, particularly for his skin and clothing. Markers work well for bold outlines and to make objects like his iconic red balloon jump out with vibrant color. Try using both!
Background Matters: Don’t forget the background; try dark, moody backdrops. A whirling storm, the blackness of a drain, or a misty fog lends depth, like in a movie scene. That will make your Pennywise even more lively. Think about the iconic scenes, and try to recreate that spooky scene.
