Steps To Draw An Axe
We have a video tutorials also, so you can either follow our video tutorial or the guide below. You can see the short demo in the image below. And you can follow the stepwise instructions in detail below also. Follow the steps below to easily draw an axe step by step.

Draw Rough Long Rectangle

We are starting by drawing rough sketches of an axe. Draw a long rectangle that has bulked edges roughly as shown in the image above. Use Pencil to draw because we will erase it in further steps.
Draw Rough Part

Now draw the axe’s head roughly as in the image above. First, draw two symmetrical curvy lines close to each other from the long rectangle top as in the image above, and then join both ends by drawing another curve. Use Pencil to draw because we will erase it in further steps.
Draw Axe Head

Now complete an axe head using reference lines that we drew earlier as in the image above. Here you can use a marker or a pen for drawing a fair part.
Draw an Axe Handle

Similarly, complete drawing the handle of an axe using a reference line that we drew earlier as shown in the figure above. Here you can use a marker or a pen for drawing a fair part. After drawing erase all the rough parts.
Draw Texture

As we are drawing an axe, let’s give it a realistic look by drawing a texture. Draw some small dark lines on the axe’s head and handle so that it looks so real.
Coloring an Axe
After the drawing of an axe is completed we move forward with coloring the axe. For coloring, we had chosen some basic colors.
First, we colored brown color to the handle of an axe and then we colored the grey color to the axe head. And then we colored the axe tip to light grey color. You can fill the color according to your wish too.
Color Details:
- Brown
- Grey
- Light Grey
