Instructions

    • 1

      Draw a large X on your page and then draw large + intersecting it. The lines should be about the same length.

    • 2

      Draw slightly bent lines, shaped liked a parentheses, between the connecting straight lines. Similar to drawing an inside-out cloud. Begin close to the center. When you've completed the circle, do the same again, but further away from the middle.

    • 3

      Work your way out toward the edge of the straight lines until all the empty space has been filled.

    • 4

      Lengthen the lines of the X to act as support for your web.

    • 5

      Draw a few spiders in the cobweb -- they will add dimension to your drawing. A black spot with eight legs will do the trick. You might want to also add a bug spun up in the web as the spider's meal.

Tips & Warnings

  • Not all the lines have to be straight or identical.

  • For a more natural look leave uneven space between the connecting lines.

  • Draw a big square around the cobweb to make it look like the web is in a window.
