[blockquote source=”Brian Krause”]When I was a kid, I used to be afraid of the dark. I would stand at my door, turn the light off and dive into bed. One night, as I did that, there was this gigantic spider next to my pillow. I hit the bed and bounced straight back up When I turned the light back on, it was already gone. I could not sleep in my room for days.[/blockquote]
I have a thing about spiders.
Not a Charlotte’s Web spiders-are-our-friends kind of thing.
Oh, no. I’ve seen the movie Arachnophobia. Therefore, I know that spiders can leap tremendous distances and inject you with gallons of deadly venom before sucking out your souls.
More or less.
(And yes, I know all the good things about spiders. It doesn’t seem to matter. The scare the crap out of me!)
Therefore, when contemplating what to draw this Halloween season, it made perfect sense for a spider to be involved. Except that I have such a strong reaction (repulsion) to them that I could not bring myself to show you how to draw one. (Sorry.)
So, instead, I thought I could handle drawing a spider web for you. Whispy, creepy, and possibly teaming with spiders when you walk through one. Blecch! >shiver< (Why do I DO this to myself?!)
At any rate, here it is. . . just in time for your Halloween doodles:
How to Draw a Good Enough Spider Web
Three Tips
And seriously, I can’t even talk about this any more.
There you have it: instant spider web!
What does YOUR web look like? Draw yours up, Tweet it out to @jeannelking #goodenough, and see what it catches!
I cannot wait to see what you draw forth,
(Except for your spiders. Sorry!) ;^)
P.S. Want to have fun drawing AND inspire others to pick up the pen at the same time? Got something you wish you could draw, but you’re not sure how to approach it?
