How to Draw a Samurai Sword Video Tutorial

This video tutorial shows how to draw a katana (Japanese sword) in eight steps. It starts out with a line drawing which is then followed by some basic coloring and shading.


The video is based on the original tutorial linked below:

How to Draw a Katana (Sword) Step by Step

This tutorial features slightly updated art and an extended and more detailed breakdown of the drawing process with a coloring/shading portion (as already mentioned). However, the original has much more detailed instructions. For this reason it’s recommended that you look at both (if you have not already done so).
