So, pick up a pencil and prepare a sheet of paper, and start the instruction on how to draw a knife.
Step 1
Let’s start with the upper edge of the knife. Using a long and slightly curved line on the tip, depict this very top face.
Step 2
Now depict the bottom edge of the knife, the cutting surface. It must repeat the shape of the top line. Try to make these lines as smooth and even as possible.
Step 3
Now depict the grip, as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did in the artwork below. You can repeat the appearance of the grip as in our example or come up with your own design.
Step 4
Depict three rivets on the grip. They serve to connect the grip of the knife to the blade. You can add wood texture to the grip or depict a sharpening line on the blade.
Step 5
Using an eraser, clean your knife drawing from excess guidelines. Using a more dark pencil or ink, trace your artwork to make it clearer and more aesthetically pleasing.
Step 6
Now it’s time to paint the knife. Use light gray or light blue for the blades. For the grip, you can use brown, black or any other color. You can also depict some patterns on the blade or grip.
