I Got a Little Knife Knutty While Drawing Some Profiles

[redsquid2]

I love to sit and draw profiles.

But one night, I turned it into an art project: The bottom one looks like just a plain profile, but the middle one has all that shading. Then the top one has all those lines to represent all the leather and/or birch bark washers.

There are worse ways to pass the time, right?



Come to think of it, I have seen some pretty impressive drawings of knives here on BF. I can't remember who posted them, but it looked like he/she was a real artist.

Nice work! The drawing and design are both excellent.

Nice, I like the one on the bottom.

Thanks for the kind words, everybody.

The bottom two look like some I'm working on, so obviously I like them.

I'm not great at drawing freehand without a French curve unless it's on graph paper. Yours look great.

Edit: on second glance the bottom one isn't that similar. The handle and spine shapes are pretty different.
