- Action or movement
- drawn sword scabbard hold
- Primary study focus
- Compare the two grips, the sword silhouette and the separate scabbard with the shoulder and hip directions.
- 30-second exercise
- Mark both hands, the sword tip, the scabbard ends and the two feet.
- 2-minute exercise
- Build the torso and pelvis, then trace each arm into its own grip. Keep the sword and scabbard as separate rigid shapes and preserve the visible gap between them.
- Reference limitation
- A static grip-and-figure study, not a drawing or slashing sequence. Perspective does not establish exact sword-to-scabbard dimensions.
