Step 1
To draw a stylish cowboy hat, we will start from the top and work our way down. The top part of the cowboy hat is called the crown and that’s exactly what we’ll draw first.
Draw a line forming the right edge of the crown. The structure of the border will look like a downward slope, as shown in the illustration.
Step 2
Create a rough sketch of the crown
Draw another downward sloping line right next to the one we drew before. Make sure that the lines at the top of the crown overlap, forming a fold.
This gives your cowboy hat a more realistic look.
Step 3
Next, Refine the outline of the crown
Draw a curved horizontal line at the bottom, connecting both end points of the lines we drew in the previous steps. This will seal the crown and complete the outline.
After completing this step, the crown of your cowboy hat is complete.
Step 4
Then add a headband for decoration
Draw a slightly curved horizontal line at the bottom of the crown, following the natural shape of the border.
This will be the strip or piece of fabric that surrounds the entire crown.
Step 5
Then, draw half of the brim of the hat
In this step, we’ll work on the brim, which is the part of the cowboy hat that covers the eyes. Cowboy hats often have wide brims, so keep that in mind when drawing the brim.
Starting from the left side of the crown, draw a curved line to the right. When drawn correctly, the line will form a semicircle, as shown in the illustration.
Step 6
Now, extend the outline of the brim
Starting at the end of the curved line we drew in the previous step, extend the line by drawing an upward diagonal line until it reaches the opposite side of the crown.
Step 7
Add a roll on the surface of the rim
Finish the brim of your cowboy hat by closing the hem with a downward curve facing left.
The ends of this line will overlap within the rim, creating a realistic-looking crease.
Step 8
Add details and textures on the hat
Draw a few curved lines near the edge of the rim, following its outline. These lines add texture to the material of the cowboy hat.
Avoid pressing the pencil down too hard when drawing patterns. Remember that the lighter and thinner the stroke, the more realistic it looks!
Step 9
Add decorative patterns on the hat
Draw many circles on the hat band to decorate the cowboy hat.
As you can see in the illustration, we kept the surface of the cowboy hat simple and straightforward. However, don’t hesitate to style your cowboy hat as much as you like! You can even draw different designs printed on the material or add embellishments on it.
