How to Draw a Sword for Kids

Today i’ve prepared for you a new drawing tutorial on how to draw a sword for kids and beginners! It’s not a secret to anybody, a sword was one of the most used weapons by knights. But in those old times the sword was not only a weapon of war and murder, but also an insanely expensive accessory that only a very rich man, who was a knight, could afford. The lesson is quite simple and there are many straight lines.

Step 1

We begin with the blade of the sword. First draw a straight horizontal line as a guide for the top edge of the blade.

Step 2

Draw the exact same horizontal line just below the line from the previous step – this will be the bottom edge of the blade of Our sword.

Step 3

Connect these two lines using two short lines at an acute angle. In fact we have already drawn the blade of the sword.

Step 4

Draw third straight line starting from the point of the sword and passing right through the center of the blade.

Step 5

Guard – is a detail designed to protect the hand from enemy weapons. So draw it using vertical rectangle.

Step 6

Right behind the guard draw the grip. The grip can be short as in our example or long.

Step 7

The pommel performs two functions: it serves as a counterweight, improving the balance of the weapon and also keeps the hand from slipping. Draw it in the shape of a semicircle.

Step 8

The drawing lesson on how to draw a sword for kids is almost finished. You can leave a sword like this or paint it.

Step 9

The grip of the sword is usually brown or black, and the blade itself can be painted over light gray or light blue.

We have drawn a sword which is often called a short sword. This sword is light enough to hold in one hand, freeing the other hand for a shield or other weapon.
