How to Draw a Spider Step By Step

Below we're sharing an easy step-by-step tutorial drawing lesson using basic shapes. Don't forget to print out the printable spider drawing tutorial at the bottom and follow along.

Grab a piece of paper, and a pencil, and let's draw this cute spider. Here are the simple steps to how to draw a spider.

The first thing is to draw a small circle towards the bottom of your paper. This will be your spider face.

The next step is to draw another slightly larger circle above the smaller circle from the previous step. Overlap the two circles slightly. The larger circle will be the spider's body.

Next, add two large circles at the top of the spider body. Add the face to the spider at this time too. We added two small circles as eyes and a smile.

Add a few more circles to the body of the spider. Then it's on to drawing the spider's front legs. Draw the first legs with simple short lines out from where the head of the spider meets the body of the spider.

Curve slightly from there and draw another short line. Round out the bottom of the legs and follow and draw two additional lines back to the body to create a slender leg.

Draw two legs similar in shape to the side of the spider.

Draw on the back two legs similar to the other legs.

The last step is to erase all the extra lines and go over the outside lines with a darker pencil or marker.

A fun additional step is to color in the spider. It may even be fun to add a spider web drawing behind your spider.
