How to Design Go Kart Helmets
- 1). Research online go kart helmets and investigate the variety of different designs you can create.
- 2). Take inspiration from your research and begin designing your own go kart helmets. Take your piece of paper and sketch a round egg shape in the center of your page. Draw a horizontal line that cuts across the bottom of the egg to create the entrance of the head. Draw two curved lines parallel to one another just above the center of the helmet. Shade in this section with your pencil as this will be the eye guard. Sketch a triangular shape at the bottom of the helmet to protect the chin.
- 3). Experiment with helmet designs working off your guideline shape. Now you have an idea of a simple helmet shape. Photocopy this drawing or copy the shape freehand. Add two lines coming out from the top of the helmet diagonally. These spikes will add protection to the skull and help you glide faster when go karting. Draw the eye guard as a figure of 8 to create circular eye sockets. Add lightning bolts to your helmet too add some personality.
- 4). Create a futuristic helmet. Color your helmet silver and sketch the eye guard slim and angular. Shade it black and create your helmet completely angular and slanting diagonally. Add ridges into the helmet with triangular air holes poking out.
- 5). Sketch a simple circular helmet. Design a female go kart design to appeal to the female go kart audience. Add a floral print to your helmet and color in your eye guard pink.
- 6). Experiment with your helmet designs until you have a large selection to choose a final design. Color in your designs and outline them with a black marker. Highlight and note all the features included in your helmets, such as extra padding, breathing vents and wind break features.
