This is Elucidator, one of Kirito's swords from Sword Art Online.

Man, I used to love SAO. I really need to rewatch it to update my opinion on it, but I do remember enjoying it. Ot was my first anime fandom. I drew this in eighth grade, and I'm really proud of it.

Believe it or not, this is drawn purely with a normal mechanical pencil. I have no idea how it looks so black. It looks like this in both real life and digitally. I really like the shiny effect that graphite has, and I think it really adds to it.

I don't really like coloring in anymore, because if you mess up, you end up ruining the entire thing.（ー△ー；）But since this is graphite, you can make as many mistakes as you want and can still erase. Pencils ftw lol
