How to Draw a Dune Buggy
Draw a dune buggy in 10 easy steps, about 8 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: two bumpy tyres.
Step 1: Two bumpy tyres
Low down draw a small bumpy tyre on the left and a huge one on the right. Add rims.
Tip The back tyre is half as big again: dune buggies have huge knobbly back tyres.
Step 2: Low open tub
Over the tyres draw a low open tub: a sloping nose, arches over the tyres, a little engine behind.
Tip No doors and no roof: like a low open bathtub.
Step 3: The driver's head
Above the tub draw a U face. From its front draw a cap over to the back, with a bill.
Step 4: Eyes and smile
Draw 2 round eyes with dots, clear of the face line. Under them draw a small smile.
Step 5: Shoulders and roll cage
Draw a neck and shoulders down to the tub. Arch a fat roll cage from the tub over the head.
Tip The cage is a big upside-down U over the driver, like a basket handle.
Step 6: Steering wheel and arm
From the dash draw a short stick up to a slim oval wheel. Bend an arm, hand on the rim.
Tip Keep the wheel low in front of the chest, not up by the face.
Step 7: Bumper, flag and ground
Add a nose bumper. From the tub's back draw a thin pole up to a flag. Draw the ground line.
Tip Every dune buggy has a tall whip flag to be seen over sand hills.
Step 8: Yellow flag, peach skin
Colour the flag yellow. Colour the driver's face, neck, arm and hand peach. Leave the eyes white.
Step 9: Orange tub, red shirt
Colour the whole tub orange, nose and all. Colour the cap, bill and shirt red, around the arm.
Step 10: Grey metal, black tyres
Colour the cage, rims, bumper, engine and steering wheel grey, around the hand. Tyres and wells black, around rims.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a dune buggy, drawn by you.
