Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: Two big wheels
Draw two big circles near the bottom, one on the left and one on the right, with a gap between them. Add a small circle in the middle of each wheel for the hub, with a tiny dot in the center.
Step 3: The ATV body
Start at the top of the back, above the left wheel, and curve a line over that wheel and down. Draw a flat, U-shaped line between the wheels, then sweep a line up and over toward the front wheel.
Step 4: Front fender
Over the right wheel, draw a rounded fender that curves like a hood, with a little lip at the front. Let its back end meet the body line.
Step 5: Rack and seat
At the back, draw a small flat box shape on top of the body for the cargo rack. Next to it, fill in a squishy oval shape in the middle of the body for the seat.
Step 6: The rider's body
Above the seat, draw the rider's back and body leaning forward, and a short arm reaching toward the front. Above that, add three tiny hair marks and two dots with a small smile where the face will go.
Step 7: The helmet
Around the face marks, draw a big round helmet that is open at the front. Add a small curved chin line under the face and a few curved lines on top of the helmet.
Step 8: Arm and handlebars
Draw the rider's arm reaching forward from the shoulder and end it with a small circle for the hand on the handlebar. Add a short slanted bar going down to the front fender.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing an ATV
- Draw both wheels first and make them about the same size. Everything else sits between and above them.
- The body is the trickiest part. Take it slowly, and draw the back curve, the U-shaped bottom, and the front curve one after another.
- Draw the rider's face marks first, then wrap the helmet around them so the head stays round.
