Keroppi is a cute green frog in the Sanrio World that you must love coloring. To make your Keroppi coloring sheet pop and unique, try some ways below.
3.1. Prepare the color palette
Before coloring, I want to make sure you have all needed hues on the table. Imagine how you can color the picture and take all that colors out.
It’s a tip to help you stay neat, creative, and makes your picture look more beautiful. Here is an easy and basic color palette that you can apply to your Keroppi.
- Skin or Body: Choose among different green shades such as light green, leaf green, apple green.
- Shirt: His shirt color is varied from red and white; blue sky or dark green. You can be creative in choosing colors for his shirt.

It’s only the suggestion of VerbNow, there is no rule for it! So just pick the color palette that makes you feel yourself.
One tip in choosing palette is trying to keep the same tones like all pastels or all bold shades. The reason is to make the page look nice and balanced.
3.2. Color Keroppi’s Body
The skin color is Keroppi’s most prominent feature – a distinctive green color. Therefore, I always suggest people to color this part of their painting first.
However, don’t stop at filling green on his body, you can make it more 3D. Don’t skip this part to know how can i make my Keroppi more cool.
3.2.1. Base Color
First step, let’s apply a layer of apple green or lime green as a base. Making sure you color in one direction and coloring evenly to create a smooth look.
3.2.2. Add shadows
To add depth to the coloring pages, you should experience shadow technique. Pick a darker green comparing to the base such as leaf green or forest green.
The simple way to shadow is to color around the edges of his face, arms, and legs. The rule is make the part where light doesn’t hit darker.
Don’t forget to blend the shadowing part into the base to make a good transition. You can use tissue, cotton swab or even your finger to gently blend.
3.2.3. Highlights
Highlight will help your Keroppi coloring picture have more emphasis so you can try. You can use white color or white gel pen to add spots to make him sparkle. Remember to add highlight to the place light hits such as his face or his head.
3.3. Color Keroppi’s shirt in many ways
Keroppi’s shirt is an ideal are to put on any colors you love. I know you are thinking that red and white stripe are the iconic color of his shirt! It’s true but Keroppi wears more colorful clothes than you think.
- Option 1: Classic Red and White Stripes
- Option 2: Sky Blue and White Stripes
- Option 3: Solid Dark Blue Shirt
Keroppi’s shirt usually has a black bow on which makes him cuter and outstanding. You also can choose another color for him such as yellow, pink or blue.
3.4. Add Cute Blush to Keroppi’s Cheeks
Keroppi always appears with cute blush so don’t miss to add this feature. You just need to pick a soft pink color and draw small circles on each cheek under his eyes.
To make the blush natural, you can use a cotton swab to gently blend the color. I promise it can give Keroppi a sweet and warm look.
