How to Draw a Cartoon Spider-Man

1. Sketch an oval with a narrow bottom like you're drawing a balloon. Add two hooks beneath the head, then draw each eye with a deep curve and diagonal line. Surround the eyes with identical larger shapes.

This should look similar to the start of a Miles Morales drawing.

2. Add the arms with two banana shapes. Outline the body with three curves, and sketch the thumb with another banana shape. Use hot dog shapes with flat bottoms for the fingers.

3. Complete the fingers with two more bananas. On the right, use wavy lines for the thumb and index finger and rectangles for the rest, making sure they overlap. Draw a semi-football shape underneath the body.

4. Sketch the right knee with another semi-football shape, then complete the left leg with a curve and draw two curves between the legs. Add a dash beneath the head and a loop on the left knee.

Draw the left side of the foot with a rounded triangle. To the right, draw a small semi-oval and carry the line downward until you outline the toes with another triangle.

5. Start the right foot with a diagonal line that ends in a triangle. Make a rounded line, sketch the heel with a semi-oval and draw a wavy line that nearly touches the knee. Add a semi-circle to the knee.

Draw curved lines inside the body for added detail.

6. Sketch a pentagon between the eyes with nine curves that radiate outward, surrounding the head. For the spider, draw two ovals and use diagonal lines for the legs.

7. Draw curves inside the mask so that it resembles a spider web. Add horizontal and vertical dashes to the suit.

8. Draw more lines on the body, arms and legs. Make sure you don't cover the spider.

9. Add more lines to the arms, hands and legs, creating striped and crosshatch patterns.

Finally, outline your easy cartoon Spider-Man with black ink and fill in the spider. Try using thinner lines for the details on the suit.

Color the space around the eyes black, leaving the inner shapes white. Use varying shades of red and blue for the costume. Add a small white highlight on the top of the head.
