How to Draw a Sword

Begin by drawing a long, straight line for the sword’s blade.
Add a parallel line to create the width of the blade, making sure it tapers towards the tip.
Connect the parallel lines with a slightly curved line to form the sharp tip of the blade.
Draw a small rectangle at the base of the blade to represent the crossguard.
Sketch a longer, thin rectangle below the crossguard for the sword’s handle or hilt.
Add a small, rounded rectangle or oval shape at the end of the handle for the pommel.
Optionally, add details to the sword, such as a fuller (groove) along the blade, decorative elements on the crossguard, or patterns on the handle.
