Spiderman is one of the most fun superheroes to draw! Once you sketch a general body outline, spend time on the iconic Spidey suit. Then, make a symmetrical web-covered mask. Go back and add details or colors to make your web-slinging hero even more lifelike.

To draw Spiderman’s face, start by drawing an oval to create a rough outline for the face. Then, add facial feature lines inside the oval, like the eye line. Next, draw the actual line for the head around the outline. Draw the upper lines of the eyes and use those lines to fill in the rest of the eye shape. To draw the web on Spiderman’s mask, start in between the eyes and add lines that expand outward and wrap around the head. Connect these lines with webbing, erase the original outlines, and fill the head in with basic colors, like red for the mask and white for the eyes. To learn how to draw hanging Spiderman, read on!

Intro: Start off with a pencil sketch. In the beginning stages, don’t press down too hard. Use light, smooth strokes for sketching.
Step 1: To draw Spider-Man from Marvel Comics, start by drawing a big oval in the middle of the page. When drawing the oval, make it narrower at the bottom like an egg. This will be the basic shape for Spider-Man’s head.
Step 2: Next, draw two intersecting lines across the oval that divide it evenly. Draw one line vertical and one horizontal. When drawing the horizontal line. curve it up a little bit to follow the shape of the oval. These will be construction lines that will help you place Spider-Man’s features later on.
Step 3: Now draw two big right triangles right on top of the horizontal construction line and on either side of the vertical construction line. These are basic shapes for Spider-Man’s huge eyes on his mask.
Step 4: That’s it for the initial sketch of Spider-Man from Marvel Comics! You have the basic Spider-Man shape. Now go in and tighten your drawing. From this point on, press harder with your pencil in order to get darker lines and a more defined sketch.
Step 5: Darken if the shape of Spider-Man’s head. Draw a more refined jaw line by squaring the bottom of the oval shape a bit so it looks more like a head and less like an egg.

A Few Tips Before You Start Drawing
Let’s Draw Spiderman – Step By Step
Step 1: Let us start by drawing Spiderman’s head. It’s like oval in shape, with a slightly squared jaw portion.
Step 2: Make Spidey’s eyes extra large with bold margins. Add a little curve stroke for the mouth, too.
Step 3: Do the outline of his shoulders and torso by following the illustration.
Step 4: Add two diagonal straight lines from his shoulders down to the waist portion – forming like a V.
Step 5: Add a slightly curved line to mark the waist.
Step 6: Form the shape of his thighs, legs, and feet. The left side is stretched out while the right side has his knee bent. See the guide arrows above.
Step 7: Complete the legs part by drawing a stretched line (not really straight) for his left thigh. Then crossing it is like a “7” shaped mark to touch the heel of his right foot.
Step 8: Draw lines on both legs to mark his boots. Follow the stroke as seen above.
Step 9: Start forming his left hand behind.
Step 10: Connect the hand to his body and add tiny finger details.
Step 11: Now, time to make his hand that shoots webs! Start drawing the hand outline as shown above, with one side touching his torso.
Step 12: Add the finger details – the pointer finger is slightly longer than the other two fingers (which can be drawn by two oval shapes).
Step 13: Add a line from the hand to the shoulder to make his arm. Draw a small curve in his palm, too.
Step 14: Draw a small spider logo on his chest. Remember that it must have eight legs!
Step 15: Time to draw the web details on his costume. Let’s start with the head.
In the middle of his eyes, draw a small circle as the starting point. Draw one straight line in the middle of his head. Add two more lines (not really straight) on each side of his face – one above each eye and the others are at the tips of his eyes.
Draw horizontal lines on the sides of his eyes, too, and four more lines to complete the bottom part of his face.
Step 16: Start weaving your webs! Draw little curves or arches from one line to the next.
Note that for the upper half of his face, your arches should be facing upwards (like u-shaped). For the bottom half, your arches are downward-facing. See illustration above.
Step 17: Let’s move to the body and boots. Start drawing lines as guide for your webs.
For the upper body – make lines only on the section where the spider logo is. Note that the lines on the sides are a bit slanted.
For the boots – the three lines should follow the position of each feet.
Step 18: Make the web pattern for his torso. The arches are in slightly downward position here.
For the boots – it’s okay to have quite straightened horizontal lines considering how his feet are positioned. Just follow the horizontal stroke you made from his boots as guide.
Step 19: Add web markings on his hands. Here, there’s no need for the usual vertical lines as guide. One to two arches are good enough for each finger.
Step 20: Color Spiderman! You are amazing!

How to Draw Spider-Man
Hello, dear artists! Today’s drawing lesson will be especially enjoyable for those who know that with great power comes great responsibility. We think you have already guessed that today we will draw the most recognizable Marvel comics character – The Amazing Spider-Man.
Step 1
At first we need to sketch out general proportions and posture of Spider-Man. Using an oval, sketch out the shape of the head. Note, that the head is very similar to an inverted egg. Sketch out the lines of facial symmetry. The vertical line will help us to find the center of the face. And the horizontal line will help us to draw eyes. Using simple lines sketch out the torso, hands and legs of Spider-Man. Note, that in the first steps, you should not press down too hard on a pencil.
Step 2
At this step we add volume to the body of Spider-Man. But first, using the lines of facial symmetry from the previous step draw Spider-Man’s eyes. Using circles sketch out the shoulders. Draw arms using convex cylinders. Draw hands and fingers. Note, that the left hand of Spider-Man looks slightly bigger due to the fact that it is closer to us. Sketch out the torso. Note, that the torso should taper to the waist. Draw the legs in the same way, that we used, to draw hands. Note, that the shin should be significantly narrowed to the foot.
Step 3
And we continue the tutorial about how to draw Spider-Man. Erase the guidelines from the previous steps. Draw the jaw, making the lower sides and bottom of the head slightly flatter. Darken the lines of the eyes. By the way, visit our drawing lesson about how to draw Spider-Man’s head, to draw it perfectly. Add the lines of muscles to the hands, torso and legs. Draw the main lines of the suit. Using a curved line draw the web behind Spider-Man.
Step 4
At this step we start to add the famous web on the Spider-Man’s suit. First draw lines on the head. These lines start on the nasal bridge and diverge to the sides of the head. Then, using the same method, draw the lines on the torso, arms and legs. Draw the short lines on the fingers.
Step 5
Continue to draw the Spider-Man’s web. At this step we draw the transverse lines. Note, that they should be slightly curved and placed at the approximately same distance from each other. Draw the spider on the Spider-Man’s chest. Add some texture to the web behind Spider-Man and move to the next step.
Step 6
And we got to the last step in the tutorial about how to draw Spider-Man. In this step we add shadows. We drew spider man in classic comics style, so we will add classic comics shadows. At first draw the outlines of the shadows. Then, using dark hatching, paint out the areas of shadows. Don’t forget that we still have a lot of lessons about marvel heroes. For example, you can try to draw Cyclops from the X-Men.
It was the drawing lesson about how to draw Spider-Man. We hope you enjoyed this drawing tutorial. Stay tuned and wait for new drawing lessons.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing Spiderman
1. Begin by drawing a small circle. This will become Spiderman’s head.
2. Draw a curved line below the circle, attached to it on each side. This outlines Spiderman’s jaw.
3. Draw a curved line down the center of the face. This will serve as a guide to placing other features.
4. Extend two short lines below the head to form the neck. Connect them at the bottom using a curved line.
5. Extend curved lines from the sides of the neck, and connect them below the neck using a pair of curved lines. This should outline a bent diamond shape, forming the tops of the shoulders.

6. Draw a long curved line from each side of the shoulders to outline the sides of the torso. Connect them at the bottom using two short lines that meet at a point. Then, draw a curved line across the chest.
7. Draw curved lines overlapping the shoulders and torso on each side. These will guide you in finishing the shoulders and drawing the tops of the arms. Extend curved lines from the bottom of the torso and connect them with a long curved line.
8. Draw an oval overlapping each of the shoulder circles to form the upper arm. Then, draw an oval overlapping each upper arm to indicate the lower arm. Draw two large ovals overlapping the bottom of the torso to form the upper legs.
9. Enclose an irregular shape at the end of each arm to form the hands. Draw a curved line across each hand, distinguishing the back of the hands from the curled fingers of the fist. Then, draw small circles overlapping the bottoms of the upper legs to form the knees. Finally, draw an oval overlapping each knee to indicate the lower legs.
10. Draw a curved line across each oval of the lower legs. From the ends of that line, extend a pair of lines and connect them at the bottom. This outlines Spiderman’s boots.
11. Begin to detail your character. Start with Spiderman’s face. Using the vertical line as a guide, draw the eye patches. For each, enclose a teardrop shape within a teardrop shape.

12. Begin erasing guide lines from the head, arms, torso, and legs.
13. Use curved lines to contour and smooth out the outlines of the arms, legs, and hands. Use additional lines to enclose the panels of blue cloth on the sides of the torso.

14. Use curved lines to contour and enhance the detail of the boot outlines. Draw a curved line across each of the lower arms to indicate the tops of the gloves.
15. Erase the guide lines from your character, leaving a clean outline. Notice how the remnants of the original shapes lend themselves to the appearance of bulging muscles.
16. Use curved lines to contour the elbows, knees, collar bones, and ribs.
17. Draw long, curved, vertical lines across the face, neck, torso, gloves, and boots. These «stripes» are the beginning of Spidey’s iconic spider web pattern.
18. Draw rows of curved lines between the vertical lines, completing the appearance of the spider web.
19. Shade a series of ovals and curved lines on Spiderman’s chest to form the Spiderman logo.
