Rapier Sword

50th day of 2016. 12th day of Chinese New Year.

Down to the last and youngest son. Rapier, unlike his two elder brother who took on the protector more masculine role, he took over much traits from the mother instead. The mother is a tailor, whilst the elder brothers were helping the father, the youngest son, being adorable as he was, little Rapier wanted to help as well, spending most of his time in the mother's tailor workshop.

Being exposed to colors and various designs trained his keen eyes for details, that in turn nurture his interest in creativity and appreciation of 'impractical' decorations. Thus naturally, his sword has more decorative details compare to the elder brothers'. So, this sketch is all about exploring all portions of swords that can be decorated.
