Chou-Tac Chung – Arachnid Creature
Insert a small human silhouette as a scaling measure. Few pen strokes will do.
The creature will appear giant like David and Goliath.

Hello Chris,
It’s just a simple tips commonly used that display a standard human as a scaling reference.
Imagine you draw the human so much bigger than the creature. That creature may look like small like a ant ! So tiny that it won’t be that impressive anymore. 🙂
Transport designer, or concept art artist often draw a people beside (or inside) the vehicle to show the scaling for example.
