How to Draw a Spider: Easy Step-by-Step Art Lesson for Kids

Learn how to draw a Spider sitting on a delicate spider web. A black silhouette makes it really easy to color the background.

How to Draw a Spider

A drawing of a Spider, made with the help of a step by step tutorial

Students can first draw a simple web, and then learn how to draw a spider on top. The coloring is easy as a good black marker will make the darkest and clearest black lines, and then a crayon color can go right on top. Just advise students to test their colors first, as some crayons are more transparent than others. This makes a fun Halloween drawing project, but also, what better way to learn (and remember!) that spiders have eight walking legs, and insects have six? Drawing is kind of amazing in that way.
