How to Draw a Cartoon Train

Step 1.


First, make a simple line. Since this lesson has lost of straight lines and circles, you might want to use a ruler and compass.

Step 2.


Using your ruler, draw the rectangular box shape for the train's hull. Next, draw two small circles for the front wheels, then a large wheel for the back part of the train.

Step 3.


Make a triangular shape for the front part of your train. When that is done you can add smaller circle shapes inside of the wheels you just made. Add some lines for the side of the train, then the connecting rail that pulls the two wheels together, t   

Step 4.


Here you will draw the box shape which is where the locomotive engineer sits and drives the train.

Step 5.


Lastly, you will draw out the cylinder shape which is places right on the top part of the base for the train. Draw the smoke stack, then add the window, and face plate at the front part of the cylinder you just made. Erase the mistakes then you're do   

Step 6.


Here is your cartoon train when you're done. Color in the train then that's it.
