Unlike insects, spiders have only two segments: a cephalothorax, which is pretty much the head and body fused together, and an abdomen. This means that their bodies often have a simpler, stocky look compared to most insects... which could explain why some works make them look even simpler.
Spiders or spider-like creatures in drawn media are sometimes depicted as looking like a ball with eight (or fewer) legs. Depictions outside of the simplest ones usually have eyes, and often look fuzzy or hairy. Being a rather simple design, they tend to be a solid black in color, though more colorful variations aren't unheard of.
A Sub-Trope of Artistic License – Arachnids and Funny Animal Anatomy. Compare: Cephalothorax (For general cases of something's head and body being one).

The Town with No Name: The spider whom the Stranger steps on in the introduction has a smiley face just as big as its body. Choosing to get back on the train leads the Stranger to crush it a couple more times, and it leaves a considerable pool of blood.

Monsters University: During the "field trip" to Monsters Incorporated, one of the monsters on the Scare Floor is a seemingly non-scary ball of purple fuzz, who then sprouts eight long legs and a sharp-toothed grin.

Super Mario 64: The Scuttlebug enemy is depicted as just a sphere with eyes, pincers, and four thin legs on it. All later games, including the DS remake, depict it as more similar to actual spiders.

Gilligan's Island: In "The Pigeon", the castaways run across a fuzzball with legs called a Black Mourning Spider. This venomous fellow is a crossover with Giant Spider, as the thing weighs 750 pounds, is a little larger than a human being and only has what look like vestigial legs that don't move or even touch the ground.

Fate/Grand Order: The Tsuchigumo summoned by Rider Murasaki Shibibu looks like two large puffballs of darkness with three eyes and eight thin spider legs. This is noted to be just a subspecies of Tsuchigumo, as the actual ones who appear later as enemies look much more monstrous than the one Murasaki rides on.

Spider-Man: Depending on the Artist, Spidey's costume usually has a sharply-defined spider as the chest emblem, but the spider on the back is much less anatomically correct as the legs are shown attached to the abdomen instead of the cephalothorax. Sometimes, there isn't even a division between the cephalotorax and the abdomen, being just an 8-legged oval.
