Before you learn how to draw A Sword, did you know?

Before mankind invented guns, machine-guns, and rocket launchers, swords were the only means of defense, along with the bow and arrow. And while it didn’t take much time and/or skills to create an average weapon, an “elite” sword required weeks of hard work.

The kings had the fastest, strongest, and most beautiful swords at their disposal; same goes for their personal guards. In the middle of the battlefield, the quality of a warrior’s weapon could very well make it or break it for him/her. These days, swords are only being made for the movies.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
