Apparently 200 of you follow me now so uh...Hi? Thank you all! Im currently writing the posts for Traintober, and here is an up to date pic of all my engines I've drawn.
I've been trying to design my monster train guy but I need a bit of help...
he's suppose to be a 2-8-2 Mikado (based off of many other mikados so no specific basis) American locomotive. I really just need help figuring out a little more about his anatomy and some extra details (since he's American, I need help deciding what details I need to add more to him since American locomotives tend to be more detailed)
[don't question about his face, I'm trying to do his body first before drawing his face]
On May 10, 1869, the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads met at Promontory Summit, Utah, completing the Transcontinental Railroad. Railroad construction of the eastward bound Central Pacific began at the foot of K Street in Sacramento on January 8, 1863.
For the 155th anniversary, Jared letterpress printed one of the many cuts of a locomotive that we have in our print shop. This print is available as part of the Sacramento prints bundle in our store! This was printed with black rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press.
