Hello dear readers and welcome to the drawing tutorial on how to draw a xiphos! Xiphos is a Greek straight double-edged short sword about 60 cm long. One of the features is that the blade of the xiphos resembles a leaf of a tree. This sword, as we have already said, was common in Greece, then spread to neighboring countries.
