Drawing of a Spider - Beginner Guide

Drawing of a spider

The spider is associated with an evil character. Perhaps the story of the Fly-Tsokotukh, which the evil spider carried away to the corner, is to blame. But it just so happened that drawing this animal is not very accepted. Despite this, we will tell you how to draw a spider in stages. 

The spider drawing exercise is very useful during training. The reason for this is the study of symmetry. Like a butterfly, a fly, a mosquito, a spider is built on the principle of symmetry. This means that one side repeats the other. All body parts and proportions must be repeated perfectly. For beginners, keeping symmetry is tricky. 

 

How can we maintain the symmetry of objects?

We can advise you to work as follows:

• define the boundaries of your image;
• in the center, draw an axis of symmetry - this is a simple straight line relative to which all other symmetrical parts will be built. If necessary, you can draw another perpendicular axis of symmetry. 

• These axes lay the necessary equal segments and draw alternately different sections, repeating them.

How to draw a spider with a simple pencil?

Consider the option in which the spider is an independent unit. For work, you will need a pencil, eraser, paper.

Stage 1

Draw a line of symmetry diagonally. The torso consists of a head and a body. We also conditionally draw paws.

 

Stage 2

We clarify the contours and draw the bundles of the legs with dots.

 

Stage 3

We thicken the legs and draw volume on the shell.

 

Stage 4

The spider is covered with a short, which should be drawn with short strokes.

How to draw a spider on a web with a ballpoint pen?

Now we will draw a spider surrounded by cobwebs. We advise you to experiment and work on paper with a black pen, but you can continue to work with a simple or black pencil.

Stage 1

The work should start with a spider web drawing so as not to distort the composition in the future. Draw a rectangle and enter an oval into it.

 

Stage 2

Draw straight lines from the center of the web to its edges. In the center, we draw a spider - a circle with paws.

 

Stage 3

We compact the web with horizontal lines.

Stage 4

We draw grass and twigs.
