There is an entire Budo art dedicated to drawing a sword, cutting, wiping off and returning the blade to the sheath. It's known as Iaido.

There is no one way to draw a Katana properly - it depends on the instruction given to the student by the Master teaching Iaido. While you could learn the basic moves from a book or video, it's not the same as actually being taught how to perform the moves and then practicing it until it becomes instinct and fluid movement, and not something that is thought about prior to performing.

I've attached a link to the Wiki on Iaido, but if you really want to learn, find a local dojo that teaches it properly and learn there.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
