People have been asking me to draw a train for a long time, but it turned out that it is not so easy. Do you know why? Because I - like most people - tried to draw a steam locomotive with one large wheel and several small ones, as in “The Little Engine from Romashkovo”:

...but in fact it turned out that there are only one or two such locomotives all over the world. It’s easier to draw and looks more like a real locomotive with all the same wheels. Like the one on the sign:

And it turns out (which is typical!) even prettier. Okay, you and I are chatting, it’s time to take up the markers, stretch your fingers.

Let's draw three wheels that look like donuts - plump and with a tiny little circle in the middle. Side by side, almost close to each other.

Let's make a cart out of wheels. The top line goes almost immediately above the wheels, and on the sides it protrudes by about half a wheel.

Steam boiler. Please note: it is approximately equal in height to a “cart” with wheels. The right edge of the boiler goes exactly above the edge of the right wheel.

Let's draw the cabin. Does it turn out crooked? Soooo, let's explain in more detail. Our cabin is twice as high as the steam boiler. It looks like it consists of two squares. On the right, the cabin “hangs” a little (don’t worry, this won’t cause the locomotive to tip over). The bottom edge of the “cutout”...

...together with the lower edge of the window it is in line with the steam boiler. Now it worked? So that's great.

To prevent the locomotive from frightening passers-by with its square face, we will make the nose more rounded.

But this triangular thing is called a “blizzard”. The snowstorm is not needed for beauty, but to throw everything extraneous out of the way. It is also called “cow catcher”, I won’t go into dramatic details of the origin of the name, you can figure it out for yourself. By the way, you have seen a similar device a hundred times on jeeps. Many years ago it was very popular in Australia, which is where the name “kanguryatnik” (in English - roo bar) came from.

Without a chimney, the locomotive is clearly uncomfortable. Let's draw it exactly above the wheel. The shape of the pipe can be any, from triangular to eight-pointed, at your choice. The main thing is that the pipe is higher than the cabin, otherwise the driver risks getting smoked.

Let's draw such a pumpkin above the second wheel. Do you know what this is? As it turned out, there can be several of these things on a locomotive: the words “suction tank” and “nutrition cap” are unlikely to tell you anything, but they also put there, imagine, a SANDBOX. If the wheels slide on the rails (in the rain or on an incline), sand is poured onto the rails directly in front of the wheels through a special tube. By the way, the same sandboxes are located in all trams.

In order not to go astray at night, we will attach a spotlight to the locomotive. Although on the rails it’s probably hard to take a wrong turn.

The locomotive itself is ready! But the locomotives need to be fed with something, so we will need a tender - a special car with coal. Drawing the body...

... and the same wheels as those of a steam locomotive. Let's draw a hitch.

All that's left is to add smoke...

...and the driver. Dear passengers, the train to Romashkovo departs from the first track!

For a snack, we'll show you how to clear the snow from the paths. Don't get in the way, though!

Complexity:(3 out of 5).

Age: from three years old.

Materials: a sheet of thick paper, wax crayons, a simple pencil (just in case), an eraser, watercolors, a palette with indentations for water, a large brush.

Purpose of the lesson: classes: we go through or consolidate knowledge about the shape - square, rectangle (cars), circle (wheels).

Progress: the child draws a rectangle (locomotive), squares (cars), and a straight line under the locomotive (rails). Tints the leaf blue (sky) and green (grass).

We place the sheet horizontally, this means with the long side facing you. We draw rectangles and squares, arranging them so that we get a train. Let the child use a simple pencil to draw, and an eraser if something doesn’t work out. We draw round wheels and rails under them.

Color the resulting train wax crayons. We try not to go beyond the edges of the drawing and not leave gaps in the paper. The color should be even and bright. The child should feel the force of pressing on the wax crayon. If you press weakly, the drawing will not be bright, but if you press too hard, the crayon may break.

We dilute the paint with plenty of water in the palette. This is important, then the paint will roll off the drawing, which is drawn with wax crayons. Let's take blue and green. Blue for the sky. Green for grass. We take a large brush and, moving from left to right and from top to bottom, paint the sky up to the rails, then the grass.

How to draw a train with a pencil step by step

It is known that the law natural selection laughed sincerely when he gave to the fragile and infirm human body brain. He would look much better in a jaguar, which rushes at breakneck speed, or in a lion, at least they sleep 22 hours a day. But all our body can do is whine about how the emu doesn’t like everything. But the brain is a weighty thing in such topics, it will not allow itself to be offended. To move around without making any movement, he came up with transport, and today we will learn how to draw a train.

The train is a means for quickly moving loin and other body parts in especially large sizes; looks like a caterpillar. He moves on rails, since there are no roads in Russia (although there are fools). It’s cheap, which means it enjoys incredible popularity among poor mere mortals. Favorite place for carrying out terrorist attacks, singing gypsy songs and selling rotten food, seeds, socks, screwdrivers, newspapers, crosswords, playing cards, notepads, pens, for 3 rubles a bunch, and there are three things in the pile.

It smells bad, hisses all the time and scares away animals. It evokes the entire possible range of emotions, from anger and internally suppressed aggression due to the arrival of the mother-in-law from distant lands, to sincere happiness and a dance of victory from successfully pushed contraband. Previously, he moved with the help of coal and slaves, then suddenly he switched to electricity and diesel, and all the slaves went to America to do the same favorite thing.

The train allows you to:

Get a good night's sleep, as I get motion sickness and knocking monotonously.;
Wave goodbye to people from the window;
Easily reach your destination;
Go to the toilet.
Discover that this is not a toilet, but a hole in the floor into which you can fall, and leave to endure until you stop.
It's ridiculous to die with your head out the window.
Pull the stop valve and pretend to be ignorant, blind, or a fan of elephant racing.
Forcibly meet people in a confined space.

In addition, it can be depicted on paper, which is what we will do now.

How to draw a train with a pencil step by step

Step one. Using long, drawn-out lines, we will create the figure of a train in motion with a small chimney on top.

Step two. Let's add a lot of wheels, headlights in front and other accessories of the locomotive.

Step three. Let's carefully draw every detail, especially taking a closer look at the wheels. Let's remove the extra lines.

Who doesn't know what a train is? Probably everyone knows. This is a means of traveling on rails over long distances, consisting of a steam locomotive and cars connected to each other. Many people like to travel by train. You sit in your compartment and look out the window. Villages, hamlets, cities, forests, meadows float by there... In general, beauty! Well, let's learn how to draw a train with a pencil step by step? Let's get started!

Stage 1. Draw helper lines. These are two intersecting straight lines. Let's begin to slowly trace the contours of the train along these lines. See how we did it and transfer it to your own paper.

Stage 2. Draw the beginning of the train - the first element is the locomotive. It has a large window in the front.

Stage 3. Now we draw the side of the cars - straight lines with cutouts at the top.

Stage 4. Now we will draw the lines of the roofs of the cars and the lines on the sides of the cars above and below the future windows. These are all lines converging at one point in the background.

Stage 5. It’s time to depict the windows on the cars of our train. These are small oval or rectangular figures. There are six of them on each car. On the locomotive we draw lines at the top and bottom.

Stage 6. Now let's draw the doors on the cars - long ovals. And also additional lines at the front of the train.

Stage 7. Now we complete the lower part of the front, and a few parts on the top of the locomotive. Then we will show additional details at the bottom of the cars.

Stage 8. Erase the helper lines and leave the main ones.

Stage 9. Let's color our train. Bon Voyage!

Any train, be it freight train or an electric train, very elongated horizontally. This can be seen even in the picture, which is very useful to consider before you start drawing. A toy is also suitable as a real thing. The sheet must be laid horizontally. You can even cut it in half lengthwise. Stepping back from the bottom edge of the sheet, draw a long horizontal line. Mark the length of the locomotive on it.

Consider the locomotive, approximately estimate the ratio of length and maximum height. Mentally draw a vertical line through the most high point and see where it intersects the horizontal line you drew. Put this ratio on paper. On a vertical line, mark the height of small and large wheels, cabin, windows, doors, roof, pipes. Draw thin horizontal lines through all the marks.

Convenient to have two on hand simple pencils– 2T or T and 2M.

The largest parts

On one of horizontal lines outline the main details - recesses for wheels, position of the cabin, windows. Look at the shape of the lines that limit the outline on the right and left. Draw these lines. Using a thicker pencil, outline the lines that will not change in the future - for example, the gap between the pipe and the cabin, the sections between the wheels.

You should always have an eraser handy, but try to draw lines so that they can later be hidden under the hatching.

Protruding parts

Find a place for protruding parts - pipes, cabins, etc. Look carefully at what shape they have. The pipe is quite often in the form of a cylinder or an inverted truncated cone. The last option is typical for stylized images. The pipe must be symmetrical, the cabin does not have to be. Round the desired corners.

Circle the details more soft pencil. Refine the side lines, draw the details that are on them - for example, the hitch. If you want to add carriages to the train, draw several long rectangles. The roofs of the trailers can be straight or convex.

General form

Draw the wheels double lines. Pay attention to how they are connected to each other - there is a crank between the axles of the two wheels. Draw on the roof small parts, circle them. At the same stage, draw windows and doors, if your model has them. The sketch is ready.

If you are going to color your locomotive, remove the extra lines and leave only the main outlines. If you want to get it, shade your locomotive. Pay attention to how the strokes should be placed. On a rectangular piece located directly in front of the viewer, they lie strictly vertically or horizontally.

If the part is at an angle, the strokes are applied parallel to the lower and upper horizontal lines. They can be vertical, but then in that part of the surface that is further from the viewer, the shading becomes thicker. The round shape is also conveyed by strokes. For example, on a cylinder, the lines run vertically, with the thickest shading located along the edges.
