  Community Answer

  Draw a small circle for the head, and a bigger circle for the body. On the spider's head, draw eight tiny eyes and maybe a pair of spider jaws (half-crescents). Move on to the body and draw eight legs, four on each side, and finish it up by drawing whatever design you want on it!
