Create cobweb art

Finished cobweb art piece
This is a fantastically mindful art project. Take time to slowly build up the patterns and colours - we found the process of creating this piece as rewarding as the end result!
You will need:
  • A sheet of paper
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Black pen
  • Coloured pens or pencils (optional)

Drawing the radiating lines of a cobweb

1. Pick a spot on the paper to be the centre of your cobweb. Use the pencil and ruler to draw lines that radiate out from that point to the edge of the paper.

Drawing in cobweb details

2. Still in pencil, draw curved lines between each of your spokes to create the basic cobweb shape. The lines don't need to be evenly spaced but look best when mirrored from one radiating section to the next.

3. Working section by section, use a black pen to ink in the outline of the cobweb.

4. Add pattern and detail to the cobweb in whatever way appeals most to you. We found it very relaxing to slowly work around the web section by section.

5. If you'd like to add colour to your work, wait for all the black ink to properly dry and then start to add it in!
