Can You Do A Tutorial On How To Draw Swords? Idk If You Really Can But Just Wondering. I Should Probably

can you do a tutorial on how to draw swords? Idk if you really can but just wondering. I should probably practice drawing objects more but i always have a hard time drawing swords :\\

the two main things i’d try to focus on would be learning the general anatomy of a sword and figuring out how those parts can be simplified into 3d shapes!

by just googling the words “sword anatomy” i’ve found a couple sites that go over the different parts of a sword and their functions

(they all focus more on european swords so i’m focusing this post more on european swords as well because they’re kind of the “generic/default” type of sword. for other swords though you can probably just find the name of the type of the sword you want to draw and google about it (eg. i googled “katana parts” and found these resources.) if you want to be hardcore you can go to a library or something and read books about swords)

to sum it up though swords are basically like this:

and then the next part is just breaking things down into 3d shapes so that they’re easier to draw at different angles and stuff

(simplifying a sword into a pole or something also makes it a lot easier to pose onto a character)

there are all kinds of swords so in general i think it’s good to just keep an observant eye out for things like distinct shapes and details and stuff, and (most importantly) to actually apply and experiment with your observations in your art!

My Journey to Escape the War in Gaza

My name is Abdelmajed. I never imagined I’d be sharing my story like this, but life in Gaza has become unbearable. I am a survivor of the war here, and in the blink of an eye, everything I once knew—my home, my safety, my community—was ripped away from me.

The war has transformed Gaza into a graveyard of broken dreams. The buildings that once stood as symbols of life and resilience are now piles of rubble. Every corner is filled with the echoes of explosions. Every moment is shrouded in uncertainty. There is no security. There is no stability. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Basic needs have become luxuries. Food is scarce. Clean water is even scarcer. Hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced, and there is almost no medical care to be found. Every night, families go to bed hungry, praying they’ll wake up to see another day. The cost of basic necessities has skyrocketed, and it’s become a daily battle just to survive.

I’ve seen things I never thought possible—standing in long lines for a piece of bread, rationing every drop of water, and watching my people suffer in silence. I have lost everything—my home, my safety, my dignity.

Escape from Gaza is my only hope, but it’s almost impossible without financial help. The cost of evacuation is far beyond my means, and without support, I’m trapped in a warzone with no way out.

I’m reaching out to you now, in the hopes that someone, anyone, can help. I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance—just a chance—to live. A chance to escape this never-ending cycle of fear, destruction, and loss. A chance to rebuild my life somewhere safe, where I can begin again, where I can find hope once more.

Help Abdelmajed Escape Gaza and Rebuild His Life

My name is Abdelmajed, and I am a survivor of the war in Gaza. Everything I once knew has been taken away—my home, my safety, and the people

Any amount you can give will help me get closer to safety. Even the smallest donation will make a difference—it could be the lifeline I need to survive. If you are unable to donate, please share my story. The more people who hear it, the better the chance that I can find the support I desperately need.

Your kindness and support mean the world to me. You’re not just helping me escape a war; you’re giving me a chance to live, to rebuild, to breathe again.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for caring.
