Color-Me-In Bear Abs: The Tofugu Coloring Book #1

Working on 42039849023 illustrations for Tofugu, it didn’t take long for me to think about the many things we could do with the art that we’ve collected over time. It also didn’t take me awhile to be like, “Wouldn’t it be great if little kids would be able to color in Kumaman’s abs? Forreal?” And it took less time for everyone in the staff to shake their heads and say, “Do you want to leave little children scarred for life by a creepy-ass bear with an amazing six pack for the rest of their lives?”

“Yes.” I said. And this happened.

tfgcoloringbook-03AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Worried that your baby brother and/or little kid doesn’t appreciate your love of Kumaman? We have 20+ pages of different Tofugu illustrations outlined and made pretty, all compiled in one ginormous PDF to make them think otherwise!

tfgcoloringbook-01Random Tofugu employee showing off his finished piece. SO PRETTY.

There are other characters featured in the the coloring book (not limited to): Koichiffany, Hayao Miyazaki, Gomenjira, an alpaca, Shinzo Abe, cute vampires, Fugurobots, Matt Cain, and a giant squid! There’s also funny odd captions on every page that will make you think twice bout printing these pages out to give it to your children/siblings/mum/etc.

Download our first ever Tofugu coloring book by clicking the doobly-doo below!

Color in the pages. Put it up on your fridge. Just do it. Make us proud. And make Kumaman proud.

And, because we want to see some finished products, we thought we’d hold a little contest!

PRIZES!!??

Go ahead and print out a page (or many pages) and color something in. Take a picture with your finished page and post it in the comments. We’ll pick out around five that we like sometime next week and send those lucky people some Tofugu/TextFugu/WaniKani stickers. Possibly bonus points if you make a small child do the coloring dirty work for you. Also some bonus points for a creative picture. JUST IMAGINE IF YOU COMBINED THE TWO!

Have fun, thank you for the great year, and we look forward to seeing what you can do with this!

    Disappointed again! Another Aya post that isn’t illustrated by Koichi.

    she’ll have to reach 1500 words before I start drawing

  • http://www.vietamins.com Viet

    She made 20+ pages of content for this post. Thats like 6000 words if you go by the average 300 words per page. And a picture speaks a 1000 words. So thats like 20,000 words right there.

    Well, the pictures all seem pretty inappropriate.

    I’ll definitely be entering the comp :)

    No, everyone has that. Some are better at hiding it than others though.

  • Guest

    Well, here it is. It’s digital, so maybe i’m disqualified?
    Anyway, this is my first real attempt to color and shade linework, hope you like it!

    EDIT: What the crap, three images.

    GUH! Disqus frustration! I tried to post an image and it posted in triple, then i try to delete the post and start again, and it switches the comment author to ‘Guest’!
    Can’t edit anymore. That’s my entry above, sorry about the comment mess.

    This picture is probably my favorite of all the Tofugu art. Colored pencil doesn’t scan very well, though :(

  • Kavita Singh

    Crayon coloring is fun :)

  • http://ale.incrowd.ws/ Ale

    It is *colored* by Koichi, though.

  • Shimauma

    Here’s mine! I don’t really know any children, so I had my cat help! :3

  • Guest

    I am not a child, but I may have the coloring skills of one.

    (What’s up with Aya’s thumbs? Is she actually eating my hamburger?)

    Finally finished this! I tried to make the plane like Porco Rosso’s, and I decided to go for a “sunrise” feel for the background.
