I’m a teacher and I will be drawing some of these on the desks in my classroom during my planning period in hopes to counter the plague of doodle phalluses with some righteous steel
Oh man, this took me back straight to high school. I literally had a composition notebook that I had filled to the brim with dozens and dozens of fantasy sword designs I thought were cool. I just started getting back into doodling with fountain pens again, so that will probably be a good place to start.
I got a video from you in my feed and something drew me to look through your channel... then I came to the realization you are the same person I used to watch as a child, you were the only artist I enjoyed watching. I recognized your art and demeanor though you look so different to me now... I'm so glad to have found your channel again. I'm an adult now but I've never given up on art, and I am certain you were a part of that.
I’m so inspired but also so educated. I had no idea the blade went through the handle, it makes so much sense and now I have a deeper understanding moving forward thank you
This is great because it highlights an important and surprising thing I learned about drawing (and painting etc), which is how helpful it is to understand how things work, how they are made, and why - EVEN if a lot of this information may not directly factor into what you see as you draw it. At first, and most importantly, you learn to really look and see what you are trying to draw, rather than drawing from the sort of time-saver icon edition stored in your brain. In this phase, you learn to see the shapes and volumes, and how light is effected by them etc. Then, you begin to study the thing you are drawing, and understand why a thing is, how it is. What is it made of? What is the purpose? In figure drawing, for instance, it is vital to understand how the skeletal and muscular structure works for whatever your subject is (human, or animal). You may not see much of this in a drawing, but the structure beneath informs how the surface works. Swords, weapons, armor at the same. It turns out, even though we can exaggerate things, for instance, in a fantasy or imaginative setting -- there are still basic rules or principals to how they work. Or, say you draw a a normal looking character wielding a medieval sledge-like war-hammer in one hand, we just know intuitively that this is silly, or must be magical, etc. And so drawing, for me at least, feels like a great adventure in really seeing and studying the world around me.
I used to play a game with my bros while were in church where we draw a continuous battle scene, we take turns, you can draw one figure per turn, by the end of the session you have a intricate battle scene. good times.
thank you peter. I've been making some pretty wacky swords recently, this lesson on sword anatomy has really helped me to stop making really long knives.
Just to bore you Peter, a halberd is usually an axe head, spike, and a hook on the back. A poleaxe is usually shorter and has an axe head, spike, and a hammer. Sometimes a poleaxe doesn't even have an axe head, it might just be a hammer and hook. Also halberd heads are usually one piece and poleaxes are several fitted together
@@lordhuebi bardiches were a lot shorter than a halberd and around the same length as a poleaxe. They usually just had the large chopping blade though, no spikes or hammers. The bottom of their blade also usually attached to the pole itself
Here I am waking up at midnight to get ready for my graveyard shift, and this is just the best thing to watch with my "morning" coffee. The variety of weaponry is awesome, and these have all reminded me of what made me want to draw in the first place. My first inspirations were Bob Ross and Heavy Metal Magazine. Thanks Peter for reminding me of my early days when all I had was an HB and lined paper, lol.
I know guns are kinda off limits nowadays but I used to draw all sorts of them when I was a kid. Swords too of course. This was a cool vid tho. It reminded me of just meaningless fun. Just a good ol youtube video. I miss stuff like that. Nothing important to say or sell just here to hang out
The last two are my favourite. I'm currently back playing Skyrim so it did make me think of all the different swords in that game. Would happily watch you do this again, maybe with some colour next time?
Hey Peter! I'm a fencer, and this was a very fun video to watch! You got a lot of stuff about swords and medieval weapons right, and some things were almost there but not quite! Still, good video :)
very early 2 this peter upload. I used to watch stuff like this all the time when I was a kid, like "how to draw a sword" "how to draw stick men fighting" lmao
Ok so this is the first video of yours that i have seen and i thought oh hell yeah he only draws blades this guy is gonna be a character. He is one of those then i saw the rest of your videos and saw that you are in fact very talented and not strange.
That last blade reminds me of a Klingon battle knife. I used to have a 36 in broad sword that I wielded for reenacting. It was really heavy, but after a while I built up strength. Slayed many an invisible foe. :)
damn, understanding so much about the different components helps a lot!! I just made a seriously rough sketch watching this, and it's way above the normal handle and blade shit I do.
Hullo Peter, thanks for sharing your thoughts on these sweet swords! I believe that Eowyn struck the witch king with a short sword and the backlash is why she suffered the injury to her whole arm! I believe that she was dodging the flail the witch king was swinging at her! I hope you continue to share your thoughts and ideas in video form with us. You take care of yourself and please keep creating these wonderful videos!
Funny. I’m a doodler. From way back. But I found your videos, and you took it into an art form and scale I didn’t do. However I always drew swords. And it’s funny to see you go there. Step into my field. 😂
How would you go about drawing say a pile of leaves? Or more organic looking trees? Trees come in all shapes and sizes, expect the ones I draw for some reason!
A halbard was retained in the British Army till the American Revolution....but was only carried by sergeants as a mark of their senior rank .....rather than as a needed battle implement. Also...the fuller,or "blood gutter" on a sword or bayonet permitted air to enter the " stuck body"....making the withdrawing of the blade easier. Still......very often the vacuum created by inserting a metal blade during combat required placing a foot on the vanquished enemy, and pulling back with some force to remove the sword or bayonette. Grim science. The rapier, ...where the sharp point was the business end ( it had no sharply edged blade) killed by stabbing....and was in vogue by "gentlemen" of the 18th century.....especially in France where fencing was brought to a high skill level. The heavy Sabre was a cavalry weapon...edged with a full basket type hilt....but sometimes used in combat.
A morningstar is a club, no chain. The multi-blade sword would be too heavy as you guessed, also it would only penetrate 1/3rd as much as a single sword bc of the spread out pressure. The two handle sword would decrease your reach and require you to present your entire front area, instead of profile, as a target.
A halbard is much longer than a poleaxe, like 1.5× taller than the user and is used in group combat. Those scenes with cavalry charging an army are running into halbard. Poleaxe/arm is shorter than the user and more for one on one combat. You followed the halbard up with the great flame blade from Breath of the Wild.
The only thing I have a gripe about in this one is that I can't move your camera to follow your drawing as I'm watching lol I play Zelda, and I think some of these would be a great addition to my weapons stash! 😁
Climbing in empty construction equipment, going to Europe to learn to draw, drawing organic cosmic horror noodle plumbing so long that DRAWING FACES is CRAZY! Reaching deep down in us so far to our TMNT 8yrld selves to ASK what we’d missed all those tutorials a life time ago. Yeah, how do you draw a cool sword? SHUT UP TINA! HML FAM!!* “Don’t stress yourself out about it, I’m using some graph paper here because… …tiered spike system” *“hold my lasagna”
damn i didn't knew i need it until i saw it, that was awesomeee, you can do real guns next, those have a lot of small details, that i think you will love to draw, cheeeerrsss
You didn't even draw a sword with an enormous hilt and spiky pommel but with a tiny blade... kinda seems like your heart wasn't in it Peter, are you okay? I'm glad to have clicked on my 'subscriptions' box again in a long time, since I rarely get your videos recommended to me despite me enjoying them oh so much. I hope you're doing well Peter. :)
Peter, i dont know if youre a fan of video games.. There is a very authentically recreated medieval game with all the classic bladed and projectile weapons of the time. Its called "KINGDOM COME: DELIVERANCE" and it is amazing. You should check it out if you want.
I feel like I'm interviewing for the art team of Diablo V and this guy somehow slipped through the screening process and now he's just started drawing swords and he can tell he's losing me but I don't have the heart to interrupt him so I just let him keep drawing but now it's 2 weeks until launch and he's covered the walls with drawings of swords but I like the way he talks so I let him keep drawing and now the reviews are coming in and people can't understand why there are no weapons in the new hit Blizzard game Diablo V and it's because I've given in and he's tattooing me with swords because there's no more space left in the office so he's begun drawing on our skin until there's no more space even there and I should have just told him we're going to look into other options but I do kind of like his drawings and maybe the enchanted crystal meteor sword could work in the Diablo setting and now I've lost my job so I don't even have the authority to hire him and yet he's still not prepared to acknowledge the other interviewers have gone home and it's just me and him left and we've been here for 4 years oh god
Step 1. Draw a sword
Step 2. Make a sword
MAKE A SWORD PETER

Don't know if i physically needed this, but i mentally did
I’m glad someone else got some therapy from this video
I’m a teacher and I will be drawing some of these on the desks in my classroom during my planning period in hopes to counter the plague of doodle phalluses with some righteous steel
fuck yeah
We need great teachers like you :)
Teachers unite.

this is literally how I should have found this channel! I remember typing stuff like this years ago, and I really hope some kid is gonna do just that.

This sounds so fun, I might try it with my friends
thank you peter. I've been making some pretty wacky swords recently, this lesson on sword anatomy has really helped me to stop making really long knives.
This vid rules dude. I always enjoy watching you draw, but drawing around a theme is particularly fun to watch.
wow i didnt know how much i wanted this until i started watching lol
Just to bore you Peter, a halberd is usually an axe head, spike, and a hook on the back. A poleaxe is usually shorter and has an axe head, spike, and a hammer. Sometimes a poleaxe doesn't even have an axe head, it might just be a hammer and hook.

Thanks for the info :)
@@peter_drawsof course, thanks for the drawing!
what about a bardiche?
@@lordhuebi bardiches were a lot shorter than a halberd and around the same length as a poleaxe. They usually just had the large chopping blade though, no spikes or hammers. The bottom of their blade also usually attached to the pole itself
I used to draw swords all the time as a kid! They were never any good, but I had fun

Thank you for reminding me how much I loved doodling in my graph paper math books from school!
Inspired me to go get some and draw tonight ♥
These would make really fun tattoos
I liked this a lot. Part 2 please.
I know guns are kinda off limits nowadays but I used to draw all sorts of them when I was a kid. Swords too of course. This was a cool vid tho. It reminded me of just meaningless fun. Just a good ol youtube video. I miss stuff like that. Nothing important to say or sell just here to hang out
I would love to hear your take on drawing fantasy maps :) thanks for the video!
I KNEW I saw a Peter Vid that I didn't click on immediately! Love it
I suddenly feel more affinity with peter. Kindred spirit here browsed medieval weaponry as a kid, like many of us did.
The last two are my favourite. I'm currently back playing Skyrim so it did make me think of all the different swords in that game. Would happily watch you do this again, maybe with some colour next time?
Thank you for the tips I did not know I needed.
yeah a new peter video! just when i needed it. peter, i love you!
Love a new Peter video to end my week😎
Wauw, that's a cool sword Peter!
Hey Peter! I'm a fencer, and this was a very fun video to watch! You got a lot of stuff about swords and medieval weapons right, and some things were almost there but not quite! Still, good video :)
Haha thanks, yeah I’ll admit to a little bit of guesswork 😊
very early 2 this peter upload. I used to watch stuff like this all the time when I was a kid, like "how to draw a sword" "how to draw stick men fighting" lmao
The pommel is also useful bc some of them will unscrew so you can throw it at your opponent to End Them Rightly.
Long time watcher, long time sword lover. Nice swords Mr.Draws :) Lots of love
Ok so this is the first video of yours that i have seen and i thought oh hell yeah he only draws blades this guy is gonna be a character. He is one of those then i saw the rest of your videos and saw that you are in fact very talented and not strange.
this is one of my favorite vids of yours.
Thank you for this medieval murder masterclass in sword anatomy Peter.
🤣👍👏
Well done 🎉🎉 6:14
That last blade reminds me of a Klingon battle knife. I used to have a 36 in broad sword that I wielded for reenacting. It was really heavy, but after a while I built up strength. Slayed many an invisible foe. :)
This is my favorite video you’ve ever made.
Next draw types of buildings!!
damn, understanding so much about the different components helps a lot!! I just made a seriously rough sketch watching this, and it's way above the normal handle and blade shit I do.
Love that
I can't believe I've just passed 10 years of watching your videos 😭 time seriously flies but I feel like you haven't changed a bit
Hullo Peter, thanks for sharing your thoughts on these sweet swords! I believe that Eowyn struck the witch king with a short sword and the backlash is why she suffered the injury to her whole arm!

I love these learning about stuff by seeing you draw and tell about it kind of video's. Can you do Egyptian hieroglyphs or bicycles?
this is exactly how i talk when drawing concepts except it’s to an invisible audience
Funny. I’m a doodler. From way back. But I found your videos, and you took it into an art form and scale I didn’t do. However I always drew swords. And it’s funny to see you go there.
Step into my field. 😂
Man this brings me back to when I was a kid drawing the swords from adventure time during class
How would you go about drawing say a pile of leaves? Or more organic looking trees? Trees come in all shapes and sizes, expect the ones I draw for some reason!
this felt like a Peter video from about 6 or 7 years ago. The good old days
I love this. I want to learn how to draw, but Idk where to start.
That was beautiful
Really enjoyed this one! Hmm what about fish and other aquatic life?

The sword designs in Lord of the Rings movies are beautiful and look 100% practical/realistic
This is a great video please do more
A morningstar is a club, no chain.
The multi-blade sword would be too heavy as you guessed, also it would only penetrate 1/3rd as much as a single sword bc of the spread out pressure.
The two handle sword would decrease your reach and require you to present your entire front area, instead of profile, as a target.
Interesting swords Peter. Did you know that the grips could be bound with leather or sharkskin? The latter has very good anti-slip properties.
Love this one!! ⚔️🗡All the best from your 🇨🇦sub. 🤺
Please make a part 2
5:00 ”I am SWORDMAN!”
The thumbnail immediately reminded me of the opening credits to the movie 'Napoleon Dynamite"
Watching you and saying ouch over and over again
Watch your fingers!
Would love to know what pen you’re using Peter 😃
A halbard is much longer than a poleaxe, like 1.5× taller than the user and is used in group combat. Those scenes with cavalry charging an army are running into halbard.
Poleaxe/arm is shorter than the user and more for one on one combat.
You followed the halbard up with the great flame blade from Breath of the Wild.
love it. can you do armor next?
What pen is that, im using some uniball 207 gel its nice. also you should give the onyx eco micro by uni-ball a go, also very nice.
I am pretty good. Just had a nice evening with some friends.
I was looking for some swords though.
Thanks for asking.
The only thing I have a gripe about in this one is that I can't move your camera to follow your drawing as I'm watching lol

DEEP SEA CREATURES NEXT PLS🙏🙏🙏
What about a doodle with a lot of swords and medieval weapons.
4:32 fork sword
that's epic
You could move to Spain and apprentice to become a master sword maker/designer, or design for fantasy-film genre. 😊
LET’S DRAW SOME SWORDS!
❤❤❤
Here before it goes viral
could you doodle some potted plants
Guys will watch this and just say hell yeah
Napoleon Dynamite, anyone?
Adorable
I just drew a sword yesterday
awesome
You seem like you would have fun with Faith Schaffer's yearly art challenge Swordtember.
I feel like I just watched Strong Bad draw a dragon.
How
Shields
Splediferous
My grandma made me watch this
huh..?

now do thc carts
that sheath from the beginning of the video is sus af bro
I'd always try to draw a sword in school but my drawing talent is 1/10.
