Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Sword in Stone
How to Draw a Great Looking Sword in Stone for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the sword in stone outline by drawing the blade of the sword, partially hidden in the stone. Use curved lines to sketch the sides of the blade, and a short line to connect them at the bottom.
Then, Use a long curved line to enclose the wavy, triangular shape of the stone.
Drawing Step 2
2. Draw a curved line across the top of the rock to give it dimension - a flat top surface. Then, draw the crossguard of the sword.
Use curved lines to draw the base of the blade and the triangular top of the cross guard. Extend pairs of straight lines in both directions.
Then, enclose the ends of the cross guard by using curved lines to form circular shapes. Finally, draw a straight line down the center of the sword to indicate the fuller or ridge.
