Just picked up the pencil again after a semester of chemistry, and decided I'd give swords another shot.
My character, Adelard, carries an arming sword and a small round shield. Problem is, I'm terrible at drawing swords, especially foreshortened swords.
I'm getting a little better, but I was hoping to get a few tips. Likewise, perhaps some tips on his stance. I'm wondering if maybe his arms are too short, i know his torso's too small, and possibly his legs too. I wanna give him at least 8 heads height, and only come to 7 here.
Then comes the position of his sword, which I haven't sketched. Single handed, about 1/3 the length of his body. Any advice would be most helpful. :)

This is a very rough wireframe sketch I used to plan things like stance; when i actually draw him, i'll be using GIMP and a sketchpad. :)
