My submission for the second day of Inktober 2023! That day’s theme was “Spiders”.
I’ve also missed the deadline for this one, and I kinda struggled with what to draw for the picture itself. I really suffered art block with this one. First I thought a bunch spiders in a cave, which I had some issues drawing. I also thought about doing a taxonomy style drawing, but I also had problems with that; as I kept taking too much space for the spiders and their legs and it was getting a bit frustrating. So then I finally settled on this concept.
I wanted the spiders to have a unique appearance to them, so I gave each of them a different marking pattern. I based those patterns off of the ones the spiders had in a MineCraft clone. I thought those patterns looked cool, so I borrowed for this sketch. I was also experimenting with hand design, trying to go with a more “realistic” look.
This sketch didn’t take me quite as long as the previous one, but I did enjoy working on it once I figured out what I wanted to do. It’s a bit more simplistic, but I think it works in this case.
What do you think?
