Before you learn how to draw A Locomotive Or Train, did you know?

To put it in simple terms, the Locomotive is the driving force behind any train. It’s got an incredibly powerful engine under the hood and is capable of pulling all the heavy weight. Usually, Locomotives pull trains from the front, but that’s not a universal rule.

These days, we’ve got them pushing and pulling from the back, the front, or even from both ends to provide more power. As for the very first operational Locomotives, they came around in 1802 and used to work on steam. To this day, they are very much useful and irreplaceable.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
