Giant Spider Web With Spider And Jack-o-lanterns Coloring Page

A web stretches corner to corner across the whole sheet with a large spider at its center, and carved pumpkins sit along the bottom edge below it. Every radial thread and every spiral is drawn as a separate line, and dewdrops hang along them. The pumpkins are worked in with individual ribs. It is a symmetrical, almost geometric page, and that structure is what makes it satisfying rather than fiddly.

Symmetry gives you an approach the other pages do not offer. Work outward from the middle of the web in rings, changing the tone slightly with each ring, palest at the center and deepest at the outer edge. The threads themselves should stay white. If you want the dew to show, leave a bare dot inside each drop and put a pencil shadow beneath it.

An orb web takes about an hour to build, and most orb weavers eat the old one before spinning a fresh one, digesting the silk and reusing the protein the same night. Very little of it goes to waste.
