<p>Real spiders have 2 joints in each leg. Yours has 1 joint in the front and hind legs, and none in the middle legs. Drawing these joints correctly would make the shape much more recognizable as a spider, even without the context of the web.</p>
<p>A very simplistic shape with only one leg joint:</p>

<p>Although the shape of the body is almost the same, the first one resembles an ant or some other generic insect. The second one is unmistakeably a spider.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>the legs have 2 joints each</p>
</li>
<li><p>the 2 front legs face towards the head, the 2 hind legs away from the head</p>
</li>
<li><p>all legs join the body very close to the head</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Try googling &quot;spider icon&quot; for inspiration.</p>

<p>Problem here is that the flowers at the end of spider legs, appear to look more like knots tied to the end of his legs, than actual flowers.</p>
<p>I was considering putting tiny circles on those thin legs but then I realized they would look like it would give it a more &quot;pimple&quot;/bubble effect.</p>
<p>What are my options for decorating thin lines such as the legs. To make it look more realistic, but keep the whimsical look of the legs?</p>

Problem here is that the flowers at the end of spider legs, appear to look more like knots tied to the end of his legs, than actual flowers.

I was considering putting tiny circles on those thin legs but then I realized they would look like it would give it a more "pimple"/bubble effect.

What are my options for decorating thin lines such as the legs. To make it look more realistic, but keep the whimsical look of the legs?

Real spiders have 2 joints in each leg. Yours has 1 joint in the front and hind legs, and none in the middle legs. Drawing these joints correctly would make the shape much more recognizable as a spider, even without the context of the web.

A very simplistic shape with only one leg joint:

* the legs have 2 joints each
* the 2 front legs face towards the head, the 2 hind legs away from the head
* all legs join the body very close to the head
