Spiderman's character has been through many adventures. One of his darkest episodes involved receiving aid from a strange alien symbiotic organism that became Spiderman's black suit. This organism greatly enhanced the superhero's powers but began to eat away at his sanity. Drawing Spiderman in his "Web of Shadows" costume is great fun, as the costume simple, cool and very sinister looking. It also gives you a different perspective on this typically cheery and humorous superhero.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Paper
  • Pencil
  • Black ink pen
  • Eraser
  • Dark gray marker
  • Light gray maker
  1. Step 1
     

    Draw an oval that comes to small point at the chin. Add a cross or "T" shape inside the head to create a facial guideline. Create the torso with a large rectangle just below the head. Add the hips with an upside down triangle. Connect the hips to the torso with a vertical line. Sketch the arm and leg guidelines with simple lines.

  2. Step 2

    Pencil in shoulders, elbows, knees and hands with circles. Draw the feet as triangles. Make sure the left and right arms come diagonally off the body with the hand of each arm pointing toward the bottom corner of the page. The left-hand leg should be bent so the shin is perpendicular to the leg.

  3. Step 3
     

    Place cylinders on the upper and lower arms to add volume to his frame. Do this for the upper and lower legs as well. Make sure these cylinders are wider at the top than at the bottom.

  4. Step 4
     

    Draw the eyes with sideways triangles on the horizontal facial guideline. Sketch in muscles as football-shaped ovals. Add these to the shoulders, one below each shoulder for the bicep and a smaller one to the side of the bicep for the triceps. Add the pectoral muscles with three square ovals on the chest. Create the abs with six small, square-shaped ovals stacked in three rows of two under the pectoral muscles.

  5. Step 5

    Draw the guidelines of the logo with a small circle in the center of the chest. Add a long, thin triangle underneath this. Pencil in four upside down "V" shapes on each side of the logo for the spider's legs.

  6. Step 6

    Erase all the guidelines. Ink the entire illustration. Let the ink dry and carefully eraser the pencil. Add shadows with thick black ink lines under the chin, shoulders, biceps, knees and armpits.

  7. Step 7
     

    Color the tops of the shoulders, sides of the biceps, head and legs with gray maker. Color the rest of the figure dark gray. Be sure to leave the eyes and chest logo white.

Tips & Warnings
  • Place a piece of paper under the illustration while you are coloring to prevent the ink from bleeding through on to anything.
  • Be sure to let the ink dry before you erase the pencil, or the illustration will smudge.
