About This Article
To draw a spider web, start by drawing a cross with 2 lines of equal length. Next, draw diagonal lines through the center to divide your web into 4 to 8 equal sections. Then, connect the lines with inverted arcs, or curved lines, from the inside out. When you reach the end of the web, elongate the diagonal lines to make the web look like it's hanging from something, like a tree or shrub. Finally, draw a spider in your web by making a fuzzy ball with 8 legs. For more tips, like how to draw a corner spider web, read on!
