If the vast expanse of the universe has taught us anything, it’s that the unexpected often holds the most captivating tales. One such tale is of Captain Tim from “Wander Over Yonder“. Drawing him isn’t just about capturing his aggressive essence but also about understanding the layers of his character. In this guide, we’ll explore how to draw this unpredictable spider-like alien and bring him to life on your sketchbook.
Understanding Captain Tim: Deciphering The Alien Enigma
- Appearance: Unlike the traditional spiders we know, Captain Tim is an Arachnomorph, an aggressive species from outer space. He has four legs, and his body primarily consists of huge red lips and sharp teeth. Though smaller than most of his kind, his size doesn’t diminish his ferocity.
- Expression: His aggressive behavior makes for varied expressions – from fierce and threatening to unexpectedly cute.
- Relation to Other Characters: Wander’s loving attempts to train Captain Tim add layers to his personality, suggesting there’s more beneath the surface. You can also consider adding Wander or Sylvia to your sketch for a dynamic duo or even Lord Hater to depict their peculiar relationship.

In this tutorial, with a total of 8 steps, you’ll journey from the foundational sketch to the final touches. Each step is clearly marked with a color-coded guide to assist you:
