Meet Spider-Man
Spider-Man, or Peter Parker, is a young person just like any other, except for one small detail: he can do almost everything a spider can! This includes climbing walls, swinging between buildings with webs, and of course, having a spider-sense that warns him of danger. His suit is red and blue, with a spider drawn on the chest.
Choose Your Colors: To color Spider-Man, you’ll mainly need two colors: red for most of his suit, and blue for the shadows and parts that aren’t red. His mask and eyes are very important, so use white to make them stand out.
Start Coloring: Begin with the red on the largest areas of his suit. Try to stay inside the lines so it looks super neat. Then, use blue to fill in the remaining parts. These are usually on the sides, like shadows, making Spider-Man appear more real and three-dimensional.
Final Details: With a soft black, you can draw the lines on his suit that look like a web. These lines are very important because they make his suit unique. You can also use a bit of gray for shadows to give a more dynamic look, as if he’s about to jump off the page.
