Knuckles squares up near a palm tree, dreadlocks swinging and fists raised in his island guardian stance. Color him in his classic red, with white gloves and the pale crescent mark on his chest. Try a warm tropical green for the palm fronds and deep brown for the trunk.

Knuckles powers through space with a ringed planet at his feet and a blazing comet streaking past. Fill his body in signature red, then try deep indigo for the background with bright orange on the comet tail. The energy swirls around his feet call for a bold electric blue.
Knuckles launches into a high jump, dreadlocks streaming back and clouds parting around him. Fill his body in classic red and his gloves in white, then try a striped pattern on the thick shoe soles. A pale sky blue behind the clouds gives the whole scene some air.
Knuckles leans into the frame with a raised fist, showing off that famously stubborn strength. Color his body in classic red with a white crescent on his chest and white on the gloves. The simple background lines keep the focus on Knuckles, making this a clean and satisfying page to fill in.
Knuckles owns the page with a confident stance, surrounded by big four-pointed sparkle stars. Color him in classic red with white gloves, then try gold or bright yellow for the sparkling stars. The bold sparkle shapes make great targets for metallic gel pens if you have them.
Knuckles flashes a thumbs up on a sun-drenched rocky hillside, looking almost pleased with himself. Color his body in classic red with white gloves and try warm grays and sandy tones for the scattered pebble ground. The sun in the corner adds a bright pop of yellow.
Cowboy Knuckles shows up to the ranch in a sheriff hat complete with a front star badge, ready for adventure. Color his signature red body under the wide brim, then try warm tan or brown for the hat. The wooden barn behind him works well in weathered gray-brown planks.
Knuckles leans into a guardian stance on an outdoor path, dreadlocks streaming back and fists raised. Color his body in classic red with white gloves, then try a fresh green for the ground plants and soft white for the cloud above. The energetic pose gives this page real energy.
Knuckles ditches the gloves to show off his actual spiked knuckles, holding a mysterious cylindrical device in his other hand. Color his body red and the spiked knuckle band in silver or gold for a sharp contrast. The multi-ringed device calls for a metallic gray or brass tone.
Knuckles stands with a small umbrella tucked behind him, expression suggesting he's less than impressed with the weather. Color his body classic red with white gloves, then try a bold color for the umbrella panels. A bright sky blue or yellow turns the umbrella into a real focal point.
Knuckles stands center with Sonic and Tails beside him, all three grinning together as a golden ring floats above their heads. Color Sonic cobalt blue, Knuckles bold crimson red, and Tails warm golden yellow. Keep their footwear consistent: red with white for Sonic and Knuckles, orange for Tails.
Knuckles plants his feet on the ancient temple steps, fists ready, with the Master Emerald towering behind him. Color his fur deep crimson red, his shoes red and yellow with white cuffs, and the emerald a cool jade green. Leave the stone blocks a soft gray so the gem stands out.
Knuckles plants his feet and grins, spiked gloves hanging loose at his sides. Go with classic crimson red for his fur, white for the crescent chest patch, and red shoes with yellow bands and gray buckles. The thick lines make this one friendly for crayons.
Knuckles floats in his Super form, quills swept upward as flames and energy shards swirl around him. Try pale gold for the transformed quills, fiery orange and red for the background flames, and metal gray for his armored shoes. Layer the flames lightest at the tips.
Knuckles lunges forward and throws a fist right at the viewer, so close it fills half the page. Color his fur crimson red, his gloves white with gray spikes, and his shoes red with a yellow band. Keep the speed lines uncolored so the punch still looks fast.
Knuckles soars over a wide canyon with his arms spread and floating rock islands hanging in the sky behind him. Use warm crimson for his fur, sandy tan and gray for the cliff walls, and pale blue for the sky. A soft green on the grass tufts finishes the ledges.
Sonic and Knuckles sprint shoulder to shoulder, fists pumping and dust puffing up behind their shoes. Give Sonic cobalt blue fur and red and white sneakers, then go crimson red for Knuckles with a white chest patch. Keep the dust clouds pale gray so the two of them pop.
Knuckles fills the whole page with a smug grin and half-lowered eyes. Crimson red covers most of it, with a light tan muzzle, black eyes, and a white shine dot in each one. This is the page to hand a young kid who wants to finish something fast.
Knuckles stands braced on broken rock in his live-action movie look, every strand of fur drawn in. Go deep brick red for the fur with darker red in the shadows, off-white for the chest tuft, and gunmetal gray for the gauntlets and boot buckles. Work the fur in short strokes.
The robot double of Knuckles stands on a metal floor, armor plates and claw hands catching the light. Steel gray and silver suit the body, with a deep red for the dreadlock panels and glowing yellow eyes. Add a cool blue-gray to the shadowed joints so the plating looks layered.
Chibi Knuckles stands with one glove raised and a sly little smile on his oversized head. Keep it classic with crimson red fur, a white crescent on his chest, and red shoes with a yellow stripe. The shapes are big and rounded, so this one goes quickly with crayons.
Knuckles turns up in a Santa hat with a bulging sack of gifts over one shoulder and a decorated tree beside him. Classic red works for both his fur and the hat, with white trim, pine green for the tree, and gold for the star on top. Vary the wrapping paper on each present.
Fun things to do with your Knuckles coloring pages
Build a Master Emerald shrine
Cut out a colored Knuckles, mount him on cardstock, and surround him with a green-paper Master Emerald and torn-paper Angel Island ruins. Glue everything to a poster board to make a guardian scene that also looks like bedroom wall art.
Make Knuckles finger puppets
Color Knuckles, Sonic, Tails, and Amy, cut them out, and tape each to a paper ring sized for a finger. Act out chase scenes from Green Hill Zone or stage a friendly strength-vs-speed challenge at the dinner table.
Design a Sonic trading card set
Print on thick paper, color each character, and write their stats on the back. Knuckles gets maximum strength and gliding, Sonic gets maximum speed, and Tails gets flight and tech. Trade them with friends or rank them based on their power level.
Throw a Sonic-themed birthday party
Decorate the wall with colored pages like a Master Emerald gallery, set out red and green crayons at each place setting, and use blank Knuckles pages as activity sheets for your guests to take home. It took less than thirty minutes.
Write your own Angel Island adventure
Pick a colored Knuckles page, and then write a one-page story about what he's protecting the Master Emerald from this week. It could be Dr. Eggman, Rouge the Bat, or a brand-new villain you invent. This is a great writing prompt for people who don't like to write stories.
Make treasure hunter bookmarks
Knuckles is famous for hunting Chaos Emerald shards across the games. Cut a long, thin piece of colored paper. Punch a hole in the top of the piece. Tie a red ribbon through the hole. These bookmarks are perfect for Sonic chapter books or comics.
Stage a stop-motion glide adventure
Use tape to attach a colored Knuckles figurine to a popsicle stick. Then, film a phone video, taking one frame at a time. Move the figure slightly between each shot. This will make it look like the figure is gliding, jumping, or running. A short introduction to animation that is perfect for a quiet afternoon.
Make Knuckles classroom name tags
Teachers and homeschool parents: print the pages in a small font, color them, and write a kid's name underneath each Knuckles. Put them on desks, lockers, or supply bins to create a Sonic-themed classroom that lasts all year.
