Drawing a sword is very easy. This drawing tutorial is suitable for kids and anyone who wants to learn to draw. In the bottom of the guide, you’ll find a downloadable PDF with step-by-step drawing instructions and video tutorial on how to draw a sword.

We will use basic shapes to help us to outline the sword shape. Draw very lightly as we’ll erase many lines from the early shapes before we’re finished.

Scroll down for a downloadable PDF of this tutorial.

In the guide below, each step is highlighted in a light blue color.

You don't need any special pens or tools. A regular pencil, eraser, and paper are all you need. If you want, you can also color the drawing with colored pencils or pens.
