1. Draw the Body

2. Outline the Roof

   

   Outline a thin roof on top of the trolley’s body.

3. Add the Doors

   

   Draw three upright doors on the side of the trolley. Now, add rectangular windows on the doors.

4. Draw the Windshield and Windows

   

   Add a large rectangular windshield at the front and draw rectangular windows along the side of the trolley.

5. Form the Wheels

   

   Form two cylinder-shaped wheels beneath the trolley and add a circular hub in the center of each wheel. Make sure to erase any overlapping lines.

6. Add the Mounting Base

   

   Draw a small rectangular mounting base on top of the trolley’s roof.

7. Draw the Overhead Lines

   

   Add two long horizontal overhead lines above the trolley. Use a ruler to ensure the lines are straight.

8. Add the Trolley Poles

   

   Draw two thin trolley poles connecting the mounting base to the overhead lines.

9. Color the Trolley Drawing

   

   First, use black for the mounting base, tires, and wheel hubs. Now, color the roof, wheels, overhead lines, and trolley poles in shades of gray. Make the windows and windshield light blue. Then, use yellow for the headlights, dark red for the doors, and red for the body of the trolley.
