How to Draw Weapons is an application that will teach you how to draw weapons, guns and armor step by step.Weapons vary from sharp metallic objects to dull-edged staffs. The most essential info you need to know about weapons is that they are mainly rigid. Most weapons are can be drawn using a ruler. Obviously, there are some blades that are curved and for the machete, it's practically the entire thing!
Before starting to draw a weapon, you need to to gather all necessary information about the weapon itself, such as the type of weapon it is (swords, knife, spear, axes, assault rifle, shotgun, compact pistol and so on), where the hands should be, or the maximum allowable size of the gun.
Gather as much reference material as you can, both to serve as inspiration and also to see what’s already been done before, so that you don't design something too similar to an existing weapon. You don't have to make something as completely different from the base form. Even simple additions as the grain and wear of the wood to a staff adds character. Just a slight change of a swords handle from cloth wrapped to coil wrapped adds that slight difference. The end of a magical staff is all you really need to change, for instance, to make that difference.
One of the most fun part of drawing weapons is the point at which they are in the thick of battle! The quickest way to draw a weapon moving is to draw motion lines. Motion lines are basically just several lines drawn from the object moving to whatever direction it was moving from. The other way to show a weapon in action is to exaggerate and "move" its physical shape by curving it, usually in an arc, as well as the motion lines right after it.
Drawing weapons is something that anyone can learn to do.You just need to take the time to practice your skills, the more practice you do the better you will become. Hopefully, this application can give you the basic understanding about how to draw weapons step by step. Good luck!!!
