How to Draw a Train Conductor

12 steps · Tricky · about 9 min

Draw a train conductor in 12 steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.

Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the head.

Step 1: The head
Near the top of your paper draw an egg head, a little narrower at the chin.
Tip Leave most of the page below for the jacket and legs.
Step 2: The face
Draw 2 oval eyes, a U nose and a smile. Add C ears, starting and ending on the head.
Step 3: Peaked cap and badge
Draw a cap on the head with a wide flat top. Add a band line, a visor and a badge.
Tip The cap sits on top of the head, with the visor just above the eyes.
Step 4: Neck and jacket
From the chin, draw 2 neck lines down to round shoulders. Add jacket sides, a hem, a scarf and buttons.
Tip Leave a gap under each shoulder for an arm.
Step 5: Arms
From each shoulder draw an arm. The left hangs down to the wrist, the right bends out to the hip.
Step 6: Fists
Draw a fist on each wrist, like an egg with a thumb bump. The right one rests on the hip.
Step 7: Railway lantern
Draw a handle from the left fist down to a flat cap. Add a tall box lantern with a window.
Tip The lantern has a wider flat base at the bottom.
Step 8: Trousers
Start at the jacket's bottom left. Draw 2 long trouser legs with a point between. Stop at the bottom right.
Step 9: Shoes and ground
Under each leg draw a shoe, toe pointing out, with a toe cap curve. Draw a ground line underneath.
Step 10: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Colour the face, ears, neck and fists peach. Add a pink circle on each cheek. Go over your lines.
Tip Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Yellow buttons, red scarf
Colour the buttons and the lantern window yellow. Colour the scarf and the badge red.
Step 12: Navy uniform, black shoes
Colour the cap, jacket and trousers navy, and the visor, lantern and shoes black, around the red and yellow parts.
