Simply inside the loop write <?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?> as shown below:-

$args=array('post_type' => 'your_custom_post_type_slug','order' => 'DESC','posts_per_page'=> -1) ;
$the_qyery= new WP_Query($args);

if ($the_qyery->have_posts()) :
    while ( $the_qyery->have_posts() ) : $the_qyery->the_post();?>

<div class="col col_4_of_12">
    <div class="article_standard_view">
        <article class="item">
            <div class="item_header">
                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><img src="<?php the_post_thumbnail_url(); ?>" alt="Post"></a>
            </div>

        </article>
    </div>
</div>            
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

Answer 6

This perfectly worked for me:

<?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail_url($post_id, 'thumbnail'); ?>
