Crafting a low-poly sword requires careful attention to detail and a keen eye for texture. The first step is to create a basic shape using simple geometric forms, such as cubes and cylinders. Next, add subtle curvature to the blade's edges, giving it a sense of depth and dimensionality. For hand painting textures, start by selecting a palette of muted colors that evoke a sense of aged leather or weathered metal. Apply these hues to the sword's hilt, gradually building up layers of texture and shading to create a convincing, worn appearance. Pay particular attention to the crevices and grooves on the hilt, where paint can collect and wear away over time. To add visual interest to the blade itself, introduce subtle patterns of rust or patina, using soft brushes to blend colors into one another. This will give the sword a sense of age and history, as if it has been battle-worn and well-used.
