Spider Man Photoshop Tutorials

Create Spider-Man in Adobe Photoshop.

Spider-Man has been drawn and created thousands of times for comic books, movies and toys. If you want to use Adobe Photoshop to create your own Spider-Man, there are several ways to do this. Using a custom brush set, you can create the basic Spider-Man shape and then edit the details to make him look more lifelike. The brushes remove the hassle of creating Spider-Man from scratch and result in a more authentic depiction of the hero. These brushes are better than regular Spider-Man clip art because they provide basic outlines that you can manipulate in multiple ways.
