Donald: Ah, here's a wee laddie 

Bill: H-huh? D-Donald?! What are you doing all the way out here?

Donald: Saving some engines bunkers by the looks of it 

Bill: ... 

Donald: Something about two wee engines missing the delivery o' equipment ... fer a prank?

Bill: oh, that ... aren't there normally two of you?

Donald: Ach, no. There's only one o' me - what about your other one?

Bill: B-Ben went to uhh ... well I'm here ... alone cause uhh ...

Donald: No stutter lad - spit it out!

Bill: *looks away* ... Dat paintwork tho 

GUYS I ACTUALLY DREW THE FRICKIN TRAINS ARE YE PROUD OF ME YET?! 

I mean, I drew Kevin and Philip in engine form, but it was chibi XD 

I wouldn't even like to count the hours I've spent on this XD I started on Wednesday and it's Sunday now and I've worked on it non-stop 

I have gained so.much.RESPECT.for everyone that draws trains because they're a flipping nightmare so many lines and curves and wheels and pistons and details Eek, not gonna do it again in a hurry! I'll stick with humanisations!

I am aware of some technical inaccuracies, namely the missing rods n sh*t on the side of Bill but when you work for like 96 hours on this you find idgaf XD

However, I would GREATLY appreciate any tips or helpful suggestions about drawing these metal bois because I need a LOT of help. 

You do realise these are my first EVER 'properly' drawn engines right?  

Also - can somehow PLEASE explain how tf engines blush? They don't have blood!

D-do they?!

TRAINS!!! ACTUAL TRAINS!!! THEY LOOK PERFECT!!!!!!!!

I'm so proud of you!!!!!! They're perfect!!!!

And how engines blush - I suppose their boilers just get hotter, thus meaning they blush XD

They’re definitely not perfect XD look how bad the wheels are!

Uh mate - you seen my attempt!!!

Personally, I try to get the front of the engine done first. and then I work the way down the engine. Once you get the buffers, you'l be able to do the wheels and details with the wheels and other parts under the buffers. Generally, the actual boiler should be easy - it's getting proportions thats harder

Butterfrogmantis In reply to CartoonLover20 [2018-02-04 09:54:13 +0000 UTC]

Wee means small

Or it’s a general noise for the Scottish I think XD

So ‘stuck behind that wee engine’ means ‘stuck behind that small engine’

But I think ‘wee weesh’ just means ‘be quiet’
