How to draw a knife

Materials you will need:

  • A piece of paper
  • An HB pencil
  • A dust-free eraser
  • A black sketch pen for outlines
  • Crayons or color pencils for coloring

Steps to draw a knife

Please note: In each step, the new parts of the drawing will be highlighted in orange, while everything you’ve already drawn will stay in black.

Step 1: Draw the handle

An outlined drawing of a thin rectangular box, placed diagonally, with an open left side to form the base of the knife handle.

Draw a thin rectangular box diagonally, open on the left side, just like in the picture. This will be the base of the knife handle.

Step 2: Add the blade base

An outlined drawing of the handle with a straight line slightly below the top part, representing the base where the blade will be attached.

Draw a straight line slightly below the top part of the rectangle. This will form the base of the knife blade where it connects to the handle.

Step 3: Shape the blade

A straight line and a curved line extending from the blade base, forming the shape of a sharp knife blade that tapers towards the tip.

Draw a straight line in the handle and a curved line extending from the base, forming the sharp edge of the knife blade. The curve should gradually taper towards the tip, just like in the picture.

Step 4: Define the blade edge

A second curved line drawn parallel to the knife blade shape, enhancing the sharp edge for a more realistic look.

Draw a curved line parallel to the knife blade shape from the sharpest point of the knife, giving it a more defined look.

Step 5: Complete the knife handle

A curved end added to the knife handle, making it look more comfortable to hold and realistic in design.

Finish the handle by drawing a curved end to resemble a realistic knife handle.

Step 6: Add Details

Small circular screw details on the handle and light shading on the blade to give it a more textured and three-dimensional look.

Give some finishing touches by adding some screws in the handle and shading to the blade for a more detailed look.

Step 7: Color and outline
