How to Draw an Easy Cartoon Train

1. Begin the easy cartoon train outline by drawing wheels of different sizes. Draw two small circles and two larger circles. Connect them with short, straight lines.

2. Draw a smaller circle inside each wheel. Then, sketch the cab of the train using straight lines. Enclose a square above the small wheels and an irregular geometric shape above the larger wheels.

Give the irregular shape a roof by drawing horizontal lines and connecting them with curved lines.

3. Draw an irregular trapezoid at the front of the train. This is called the cowcatcher. Above the front of the train, enclose an irregular heptagon. This is the smoke stack.

4. Draw horizontal lines across the cab and smokestack. Then, enclose half-circle shapes on top of and on the front of the engine. Then, enclose a partial oval at the tip of each.

5. Draw a square window on the cab and another rectangle on the engine. Draw vertical lines across the rectangle and the engine behind it.

6. Next, draw the coupling rods. Draw small circles on the large wheels and on the engine. Connect them with pairs of straight lines. Then draw two more smaller oval-shaped wheels behind the steam engine.

7. Draw a small circle inside each wheel.

Use straight lines to draw the base of the train car, its walls, the top and bottom of its roof, and to connect it to the engine. Use curved lines to connect the top and bottom of the roof.

8. Use straight lines to draw rectangular windows on the train car and a small balcony on the back. Band the top rectangle of the balcony with vertical lines to indicate the railing.

Then, use curved lines to begin sketching a puff of smoke above the smokestack.

9. Using curved lines of different lengths, complete the cloudlike puff of smoke and draw another behind it.

Your easy cartoon train outline is now complete. Color your drawing. Trains come in many colors.
