Those were some exciting lines to hear back in the 2000s when life’s hardest choice was who’s your favorite character: Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael or Michelangelo? Not gonna lie, I was a known swords enjoyer, so Leo was my favorite for a long time…
Splinter seemed to be the most knowledgeable, despite being a rat, while Shredder was somebody I hated and was scared of the most. Maybe that’s the reason why I could only finish one of his sketches for my Ninja Turtles coloring pages collection. 😂
If you or your children are also afraid of Shredder, you’re safe to browse my works. Below you’ll find many coloring sheets of all 4 main characters in various different situations. You’ll also see other iconic characters but most importantly, there’s only 1 Shredder and he’s not even scary.

Coloring Tips & Tricks for Ninja Turtles Coloring Sheets
Coloring is a fantastic way to express creativity, and using some strategic approaches can make your Ninja Turtles coloring sheets come alive with vibrancy and authenticity. Here are some tips to enhance your coloring experience:
Understanding the Characters
Get familiar with the characters to make your coloring sheets come to life. Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo all have distinct color schemes and accessories. Use reference images to ensure you get the hues just right.
Experiment with Different Mediums
Don’t limit yourself to colored pencils; try watercolors, markers, or even gel pens for different effects and textures. Watercolors can give a soft background, while markers can make the characters pop with vibrant color.
Add Depth with Shading
To give your characters a three-dimensional look, use shading techniques. Apply a darker tone around the edges and a lighter shade towards the center. Blending can add realism and depth, especially around muscle contours.
Play with Backgrounds
While the focus is on the turtles, adding a background can create a setting and context. Use subdued colors for cityscapes or brighter shades for dynamic action scenes to set the mood.
