How to Draw a Spear

  1. Draw the first line of the shaft.

    A spear consists of a shaft and a tip. To draw a spear, you should first draw the shaft. Drawing a straight, long line is one of the most important skills for any artist, so try to make it as straight as possible.

  2. Draw the secon line of the shaft.

    Now, right under the first line, draw another one of the same. This line should exactly repeat the previous one in size and be perfectly parallel to it.

  3. Add the tip socket.

    The tip socket is the part that connects the tip to the spear shaft. This part is often tied with rope for maximum strength. Repeat this effect using perpendicular lines.

  4. Draw the tip of the spear.

    Draw the outline of the tip by drawing two lines from the spear shaft, which first move slightly away from each other and then connect at an acute angle. In the middle, draw a straight line dividing this geometric figure into two equal triangles.

  5. Check your spear drawing.

    The lines on your spear drawing should be straight and clear. If some lines seem not straight enough to you, correct them. In addition, in this step you can add some details, such as hanging feathers at the junction of the shaft and the tip.

  6. Color your spear drawing.

    Now is the time to spice up your spear drawing by adding some bright colors. Since the shaft of a spear is most often made of wood, use some shade of brown to color this part. The tip is most often made of metal, so use a blue-gray tint for this part of the spear.
