Simple Spider Web Drawing Instructions
Follow these easy steps to draw a spider web.
- Draw the web lines.
Start by drawing four straight lines that cross in the middle of your paper. Draw one vertical line, one horizontal line, and two diagonal lines. These lines will be the frame of your spider web.
- Add the first curved web row.
Near the center, draw small curved lines between each straight line. Keep going all the way around until you have a full inner ring connecting all the frame lines. - Draw more curved rows.
Continue adding curved lines between the straight web lines. Make each row a little farther from the center. The curves do not need to be perfect. A slightly wiggly line makes the spider web look more natural. Draw the second and third row of webs using the same technique as before. - Finish with a spider.
Draw a small circle for the spiderโs head and a larger circle for the body. Fill them in with black marker. Add eight little legs, four on each side. You can also draw a thin line from the web to make the spider look like it is hanging.
Now your spider web drawing is finished! Leave it black and white, color the background, or add bats, pumpkins, ghosts, or more spiders to make it your own.
