Here is a non perspective view of the sword.


Here is a rendering of the non perspective view. I bet you can hardly make out anything with it.


Here is a straight view of the sword. It's a good snapshot to depict the proportion of the blade and handle.


@darkangle_divya ::> Your hand drawn sword had all concepts right. You tried to keep the proportions and perspective together... However, I still think you can heavily improve on both. I hope these series of images have been of some help. If you still didn't get it... tell me. I'm still alive...

woah its nice the way u tried to make me understand

"Here is a rendering of the non perspective view. I bet you can hardly make out anything with it."
i did not understand this<_>
but understood the perspective thing..ie sword should be in proportion
i just draw my swords by copying n then  learning them the same goes for characters .. i have to learn every character i want to draw then make changes as i wish ..like what i imagine n mix n match dresses n other things
btw which software is it ..i am a nookie at these things but want to learn , do u know photoshop???

For image editing... I use The GIMP...
For 3D modeling... I use Blender and sometimes light wave..

For the explanations... I used Blender... I've made the sword using some lines. To Render something means to present it in a final form that can be understood and seen. The sword was all lines. I rendered it to look like a real sword. (I hope it looks like a real sword... )
