How to make scarlet spider mask?

Community Answer

It's basically the same, but you would cut out a different shape for the eyes and, instead of using sunglasses, use white mesh for the eyes.

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

Could I use a pen and not a marker?

Community Answer

Yes, but it should be heavy-duty, and not a cheap, disposable pen. Be careful while making the lines and keep a steady hand, as you may have to retrace it.

Question

How do I make this into a Spider-Gwen mask?

Community Answer

Get a white mask, then buy some mesh on eBay. Get some clear plastic and a hot glue gun to stick the lenses to the mask. Use pink puffy paint or pink foam to make the borders. For Gwen's hood, it's best to try and make the full suit.

Question

Can I use something else instead of the glasses when making a Spider Man mask?

Community Answer

Sure! Try poking small holes in a white piece of paper, then cut out the shape of the eyes. Hot glue the eyes to the mask, then draw the border of the eyes with black Sharpie. Make sure you can see out of it!

Question

How can I make the spider-man hand?

Community Answer

Do a spider man hand with craft glue. Stick glue to your hands, wait for it to dry a little, and clap a few times slowly and it will look like spider webs coming from your hands.

Question

How would i breathe with the mask on?

Ryan Anthony Mooresky

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

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.
