Spiderman City Swing Coloring Page

Spiderman swinging between skyscrapers captures one of the most iconic images in superhero comics. The combination of dynamic action and urban architecture gives you plenty to work with, from the web-slinger’s classic costume to the towering buildings and dramatic sky behind him. There’s something energizing about coloring a scene with this much movement frozen in time.

What colors work best?

The traditional red and blue suit is where most people start, but you can play with different shades to add depth. Try a deeper crimson for shadowed areas and bright scarlet where light hits. The webbing can be black, dark blue, or even metallic silver for a different look. For the city, grays and browns work for buildings, but consider adding warm oranges and pinks if you want a sunset scene, or deep purples and blues for a nighttime swing. The webs themselves look great in white or light gray against a darker sky.

Did you know?

Spiderman’s web-swinging actually wouldn’t work the same way in real life because he needs tall anchor points to swing from. In lower cities, he’d spend more time wall-crawling than swinging. The character’s co-creator Steve Ditko specifically designed the costume’s webbing pattern to show movement and make the suit more visually interesting in black and white comic panels. That’s why the web lines follow the body’s contours rather than just running straight across.

How to color this one

Colored pencils work really well for the detailed webbing on the suit, letting you control those fine lines. For the background buildings, markers or crayons can help you cover larger areas quickly. Try leaving some white space on the webs themselves to make them look translucent and silky. Shading under Spiderman’s body and on the sides of buildings away from your light source adds dimension. Don’t forget small details like windows in the buildings—you can make some lit up and others dark.

Who’ll love this?

Kids who love action scenes will enjoy this one, especially those who like superhero stories. It’s also good for anyone who wants something more dynamic than a standing pose but doesn’t want an overwhelming battle scene with multiple characters. The architectural elements make it appealing for older colorists who enjoy technical details alongside the character work.
