Free course: How to draw a character
A long boiler, a tall chimney, and a cab at the back. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then print the practice sheet and draw it again.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a long low box with a tall box at the back. Scoop out three curves along the bottom for the wheels.
A tall chimney near the front, wide at the top like a funnel. Then a little dome behind it.
Two small wheels in front, one big wheel under the cab. Draw one long line under them all for the track.
A square window in the cab. A pointy triangle at the front pushes things off the track.
A dot in the middle of every wheel. Add short lines under the track for the wooden sleepers.
A bright light on the front, and two puffs of smoke from the chimney. Now this train is yours.
Now draw a train going somewhere trains never go.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
