Spider drawing for kids pencil easy — To draw, a child will need an album, pencils, and an eraser.

Tools and materials	Brief description
Paper	It should be smooth and thick to ensure clear lines. There are different types of paper: from regular writing paper to special drawing paper. The latter comes in different sizes, thicknesses and colors.
Pencils	They are made of graphite or other materials and have different hardness, which is indicated by letters or numbers. Softer pencils leave a darker mark, hard ones leave a lighter mark.
Erasers and pens	Erasers are used to erase mistakes, kneaded erasers are used to soften lines and add volume. Erasers come in regular and professional grades, kneaded erasers are made of special materials that are easily wrinkled and stretched.
Stencils	These are ready-made forms for creating repeating elements of a design. They can be made of paper, plastic or metal. Stencils can be used to create patterns, inscriptions and even images.
Rulers, compasses	Rulers are used to draw straight lines, measure distances, and check proportions. Compasses are used to draw circles and arcs.
Sharpeners	They help maintain the sharpness of the pencil lead and preserve the quality of the lines throughout the drawing process. Sharpeners vary in type (mechanical, electric) and shape (conical, flat).

Master classes

To draw a spider, you need to know a few basic rules:

Its head should be round, with 2 large eyes.
The body is oval, with 8 legs located on the sides.
The spider's legs should be thin and long.
The web starts from the front of the body and spreads out in all directions.

You can add other details to make the drawing more interesting. For example, draw a pattern on the spider's back or add a fly that it caught to the web.

Aragog

Aragog is a character from the Harry Potter film series. He is a powerful creature that can unite the spiders that live in the Forbidden Forest. Aragog appears to the audience as a huge spider with 10 hairy legs and black beady eyes.

His body is covered with thick fur, which makes him even more terrifying. Aragog has the unique ability to communicate with people using telepathy. However, despite his ability to communicate, he remains a wild creature with great strength and ferocity.

The following steps will help you create a simple but realistic drawing of this fabulous creature. You can experiment with the shape and size of the spider figure, as well as use different drawing techniques to make your drawing unique.

Step by step:

Draw a small circle for the head and a larger one for the body. They should be proportionally placed on the sheet. The diameter of the circle for the head should be about ½ the size of the circle for the body.

It is important to position these circles relative to each other so that the head is slightly shifted forward relative to the body.

Add 2 ovals below the head, they will represent the pedipalps - the spider's jaws. The ovals should be rounded and smoothly transition into the body.
Draw 5 zigzag lines on each side of the body. These will be the spider's legs. The lines should start at the base of the body and widen towards the ends of the legs. The ends can be directed downwards or to the side, depending on the position of the spider in the drawing.
Inside the circle for the head, add 8 small circles. These will be the spider's eyes. Their arrangement should resemble the letter "X".
On each zigzag, which represents a paw, add several elongated small ovals. These will be parts of the spider's legs.
Each pair of pedipalps ends in a hook. These help convey the idea that the spider is capable of grasping prey. The fangs can point upward or sideways, but should not point toward each other.
On the head, body and legs draw short chaotic strokes that will help make the spider hairy. The strokes should start from the center of the figure and go beyond its borders.

Erase unnecessary lines if necessary and shade the drawing, giving it volume. Use different shades of shading to create the effect of a three-dimensional figure. You can also add shadows to emphasize the relief of the spider and give it expressiveness.

Karakurt

This is a poisonous spider from the genus of black widows. It is small in size - the length of the female's body is about 2 cm, and the male's is from 4 to 7 mm. The karakurt is distinguished by its black color with red or orange spots on the abdomen, for which it received its name "black widow".

The venom of the black widow is very dangerous for humans.

The spider in the picture can be depicted using simple steps:

Draw a small circle - this will be the head. The size of the circle depends on your desire, but it is recommended to make it not too big.
Add another larger circle, which will represent the spider's body. It should be approximately 2-4 times larger than the head.

Draw 2 oval shapes that will act as pedipalps (jaws). Place them under the spider's head.
Draw 4 zigzag lines on each side of the body. These lines will symbolize the spider's legs, which are the main means of movement and prey capture.
Create small ovals based on the zigzags to represent the spider's legs. They should be sharp at the end to convey a sense of danger.
Draw random spots on the body to create a striking and realistic drawing. These spots can be of different sizes and shapes.
Erase unnecessary lines to make the drawing clearer and neater.
If desired, color the drawing, choosing colors typical for the karakurt. Use black for the main background, and red spots on the abdomen will give it realism.

Tarantula

These are spiders that belong to the wolf spider family. They are predators. They have 8 legs and 2 poisonous fangs on the upper jaw. Their body consists of 2 sections: the cephalothorax and the abdomen. The color of the tarantula can vary from light brown to dark brown.

Some species reach 30 mm in length, while others reach 90 mm. When working, it should be noted that the drawing requires attention and accuracy, since the spider is a complex image with many details.

The spider in the picture is created using the following steps, taking into account all the details:

Start by creating a base for the drawing, which will reflect the general shape of the spider's body. Draw a small circle at the top of the sheet - this will be the tarantula's head. Under it, draw a larger circle, which will represent the body.
On each side of the body, draw 2 ovals - the basis for the jaws.
Draw 4 zigzag lines on both sides of the body - these will be the tarantula's legs. They should be located symmetrically relative to the body.

Inside the circle that represents the head, draw 2 small circles - the eyes of the tarantula. These circles should also be located symmetrically to each other.
On the zigzags that represent the paws, add small ovals - these will be the tarantula's legs. Note that tarantulas have thin and long legs, so the ovals should be elongated.
To make the drawing more expressive and realistic, add short chaotic strokes on the head, body and legs. This will give the spider a furry look. Use a soft pencil to create these strokes.
Erase unnecessary lines and contours to leave only the basic shapes.

Shade the drawing using different shades of gray or black. This will help give volume and texture to the tarantula's body and create the illusion of fur on its surface. Add shadows and highlights to emphasize relief and volume.

Highlight the spider's eyes and mouth for greater expressiveness.

In cartoon style

A spider in a cartoon style drawing can be depicted by following the given steps:

Draw a small circle for the head. It should be approximately 2-3 times smaller than the diameter of the body.
Add a larger circle to represent the spider's body. It should be located below the head and have a more elongated shape.

Draw the pedipalps (jaws) using 2 ovals located under the head. The ovals should be significantly smaller than the head and should barely extend beyond the body.
On each side of the body, add 4 zigzag lines that will represent the spider's legs. They should start from the base of the body and fan out, reaching the length of the head.
Inside the head circle, draw 2 small circles to indicate the eyes. They should be located slightly above the middle of the head circle.
Highlight the body to indicate its shape. The line should run along the entire body from the paws to the head. It will help make the image clearer.
Start creating the spider's legs, based on the zigzags drawn earlier. Mark the legs with short strokes. Each one should be slightly longer than the previous one to make the legs look realistic.
Erase unnecessary lines that were used in the previous steps, leaving only the main contours.

Color the drawing. Start with the body, using warm shades of gray or brown. Move to the head, choosing a dark shade for the eyes and light gray or white for the rest of the head. The paws can be left gray, and for emphasis, add black claws.

Use thin lines to create a fur effect, applying them over the main outline of the drawing. Color the pupils of the eyes with black.

Schematic spiders on a web

The spider in the picture is depicted using the master class:

Start by drawing a web in the top corner of the paper. This will serve as the base for the spiders. The web should be neat and thick. Use soft, flowing lines to create the impression of a web that gently sways in the wind.
Draw 4 thick lines of varying lengths down from each side of the web. They should be drawn in such a way that it looks as if the spiders are actually hanging on the web.
At the end of each line, draw a small circle. These will be the spiders' heads.

Add 4 more lines on each side of the body - these will be the spider's legs. They should start at the body and diverge downwards, creating the impression of lightness and grace. Use thinner lines for this.

For more detail, you can draw small claws on the ends of the paws.

Inside the head of each spider, draw 2 large circles - these will be the eyes. They should be expressive and large to emphasize the individuality of each spider.
Remove unnecessary lines and contours that may interfere with the perception of the work.
Choose colors for your drawing. The spider can be gray, brown or even green. Use colored pencils to color the drawing. Add shadows and lights to create volume.

In the web

A web is a complex network of silk threads that a spider weaves using special glands at the end of its abdomen. In the process of creating it, the insect secretes a liquid secretion that soon hardens in the air and turns into thin threads.

They are extremely strong and can withstand a lot of weight. Some spiders create webs in the form of circles or spirals, while others weave complex labyrinths that can consist of several layers.

The following master class will allow you to draw a spider in a web using simple steps:

Start by drawing the basic shape of the web, which is a geometric figure with intersecting lines. This can be an oval or a polygon, which will serve as the basis for the future web.
Make several lines that will go from one side of the oval to the other, creating a grid of lines. It is important to maintain balance and symmetry in the arrangement of the lines.
Draw 2 small circles - 1 at the top in the center of the web and the 2nd a little lower in one of the corners. The 1st circle will be the spider's head, and the 2nd - its body. Pay attention to the fact that the head should be proportional to the body.

Draw 4 lines on each side of the spider's body to create the image of the legs. These lines should be curved enough to emphasize the mobility and strength of the spider's legs.
Draw the jaws with thin short lines from the head. Depending on the style of the drawing, the jaws can be straight or curved.
Erase unnecessary lines.
You can color the spider and web. Use dark colors for shadows and lighter colors for illuminated areas.

Good spider

A cartoon spider drawing can be created using the basic steps, but you can experiment with different colors and styles to find your unique look:

Start by drawing a circle in the center of a piece of paper. This will represent the spider's head.

Add 4 lines on either side of the head to create the spider's legs. They should be long and curved enough to give the impression of movement.
Inside the head, draw 2 large circles that will represent the spider's eyes. Inside each eye, add another smaller circle that will represent the pupil.
In the center of the head between the eyes, draw 2 touching arcs that will symbolize the spider's mouth. The arcs should look like the spider's lips or teeth.
Inside the mouth, add a tongue and 2 sharp fangs. This will give the spider a more menacing look, despite the fact that it is kind.
To make your eyes more expressive, add highlights. To do this, use light tones such as white or light gray.
Add slippers to each spider paw. They can be drawn as stylized feet or simply oval shapes.

Erase unnecessary lines and contours to make the image clearer and more realistic.
You can color the drawing. For example, the spider's body can be made brown or gray, and the eyes green or yellow. Slippers can be painted in bright colors to add a fun element to the drawing.

Tips for Beginners

Recommendations that will help you draw a spider with a pencil:

Basic principles	Brief description
Draw the base of the spider's body	Always start with an oval or round body, which will serve as the basis for all other parts. For this, use the lightest shade of the pencil. Add the head, which should be slightly smaller than the body and located at the top.
Add limbs	You can draw 4 pairs of limbs using darker shades of pencil. They should start on the body and end with sharp tips. You can use an eraser to add details such as claws on the ends of the paws.
Shape the eyes	The spider's eyes should be small and round. Draw them in the center of the head using the darkest shade of the pencil. Add pupils, which can be black or light, depending on the overall appearance of the spider.
Detail the drawing	You can add additional details such as patterns on the abdomen, strands of hair on the head, or stripes on the limbs. Use different shades of gray to create volume and texture.
Correct errors	If any mistakes are made during the drawing process, they need to be corrected. To do this, you can use an eraser to erase unnecessary lines and then add new ones.
Color the picture	If you plan to make the drawing brighter and more expressive, you can color it. However, when drawing a spider, it is better to leave it in gray tones, as this matches its appearance.

To draw a spider, you can use almost any colors you like. The main thing is to follow the proportions and the basic rules and principles of the image. Particular attention should be paid to the details. It is necessary to convey its features and character in the drawing.
