  • Question
    How do I do a Scarlet Spider suit and mask?
    Community Answer
    For the mask, do everything in the above article, except make a different shape for eyes, and white mesh is an optimal solution for eyes. Also, do not make webbing on the mask. For the rest of the suit, take a red spandex suit, and this is your base. Then, you would want to acquire a blue hoodie, and remove the sleeves. You would then print a spider on the chest, I would use a reference photo on the internet to find out how to make that. For the belt and web shooters you can find a Spider-Man retro web shooters and utility belt on Etsy.

  • Question
    How would i breathe with the mask on?

    Community Answer
    It's easier than you think, Spandex is fairly thin material, so unless you suffer from claustrophobia, you should have no issue breathing in the mask.
  • Question
    How to draw the accents on the Spiderman mask?
    Ryan Anthony Mooresky
    Community Answer
    Assuming you mean the webbing, if you're using puff paint you need a very steady hand because if you smudge it, it's not coming off. Always work in sections, do the main webs first then when that's dried add the connecting webs, it's key to take your time with it. It's not "con crunch" friendly.
  • Question
    How to draw Spiderman lenses on the mask if I am a beginner?
    Ryan Anthony Mooresky
    Community Answer
    It is best not to. It is better to draw onto something else and transfer because then you can get the right shape and size for both eyes and shouldn't have to worry about eyes that aren't symmetrical or the wrong size, plus if you go wrong it's easier to start again on the card (or whatever you're drawing on) than on the actual costume piece.
  • Question

  • Question
    What else could I use to make the mask?
    Ryan Anthony Mooresky
    Community Answer
    Really it all depends on which version you're making. Foam if you're making the armoured suits (which is a different method altogether), beanie hats can be used for say Spider-Man Noir if they're big enough or with enough material but generally Spidey's costume is Spandex.
  • Question
    Can you breathe in the mask or are holes needed?
    Lectro
    Community Answer
    If you have breathing problems, then it is safer if you have breathing holes. But if you’re OK breathing under the fabric, it should be fine not to have holes, because there are thin holes in the spandex.
  • Question
    Can I use frames for the borders?

    Community Answer
    Yes, but you might want to use some sandpaper to smooth the edges of your sunglasses frames.
