A steam locomotive crossing a stone viaduct

grab your pencil…

How to start drawing it

1. 1

   Draw the viaduct first: a horizontal deck on repeated arch shapes.

2. 2

   Build the locomotive from rectangles and cylinders—boiler, cab, chimney.

3. 3

   Pour the smoke back over the train in one long diagonal.

4. 4

   Scale with tiny trees in the valley below the arches.
