How to Draw a Go Kart

Step 1: Two tyres

Draw a big tyre on the right, a smaller tyre on the left, bottoms level. Add a circle inside each.

Tip Leave a wide gap between them for the kart.

Step 2: Low kart body

Draw a long low body behind both tyres. At the front it rises into a rounded nose.

Tip Keep it low and flat: the tyres stay out in the open.

Step 3: Big helmet

Above the middle of the kart, leaving a gap, draw a big round circle for the helmet.

Step 4: Visor and face

Inside the helmet draw a wide rounded box for the visor. Add 2 round eyes with dots and a smile.

Step 5: The driver

From under the helmet draw 2 round shoulders, then the sides of the body down into the kart.

Step 6: Seat back

Behind the driver draw a tall seat back with a round top, from the kart up and down again.

Step 7: A knee

From the driver's tummy draw a low hump forward and down into the kart, for a knee.

Step 8: Arm and mitten

Draw an arm from the chest that dips at the elbow and reaches forward. End it in a round mitten.

Step 9: Steering wheel

Behind the mitten draw a thin tilted oval for the wheel. Add a stick from it down to the nose.

Step 10: Engine and pipe

Behind the seat draw a rounded engine box above the back tyre. Add 2 short lines and a pipe behind.

Step 11: Flame, number and road

Draw a teardrop flame on the pipe and a circle with a 1 on the kart. Add a road line.

Tip The flame lies on its side, fat end on the pipe.

Step 12: Yellow flame, grey parts

Colour the flame yellow. Colour the engine, pipe, steering wheel, stick and both small circles grey.

Step 13: Red kart, blue driver

Colour the kart and seat red, around the number circle. Colour the helmet, body, arm, mitten and knee blue.

Tip Leave the visor white.

Step 14: Black tyres

Colour both tyres black, around the grey circles. Your go-kart is ready to race!
