    How do I draw a realistic train?

    Start off by tracing images of trains. Think about the components such as the train cars and wheels. Sketch out shapes that are similar to your traced drawing and replicate it without tracing.

    If you would like to, that would be fine. Many older trains did have smoke coming out of them, so it would be accurate to draw this.

    To make sure that the train looks like a train, it is better to have shapes such as circular wheels, rectangular carriages, and more. It isn't a requirement though!
