How to Draw a Baseball Cap Step by Step

by easylinedrawing

This tutorial shows how to draw a baseball cap in six easy steps. Each step includes drawing tips along with an illustrated example

You can see the steps for drawing this particular type of hat in the preview image above. In this case it’s done in 3/4 view.

The focus of the guide is on creating a fairly simple drawing that is at the same time still easily recognizable as a baseball cap.

Be sure to start the tutorial in pencil and make light lines that are easy to erase in case you make a mistake. You can trace over them later on with a black pen or marker.

Step 1 – Draw the Crown of the Baseball Cap

Begin by drawing the outline of the crown (the part of the hat that goes over the head). Make it’s upper part one big curve that is slightly of flattened at the top and draw the bottom with a bit of a wave.

Step 2 – Draw the Visor

At the front of the crown add the visor. It’s bottom will again have a “wave” to it. As the visor is curved a little bit of it’s under side will become visible which you can draw as a small curve at the end of the wavy line.

Step 3 – Draw the Sections

Split the crown into several sections that are so characteristic of a baseball cap. You can do this by drawing a series of curved lines as shown in the example.

Step 4 – Add the Button

At the top of the hat add a button. While the button is round viewed at this angle it will appear pretty much flat with rounded sides.

Step 5 – Add the Stitching & Finish the Line Drawing

For the last detail draw a line along the visor to create a hint of stitches that baseball caps usually have in that area. Afterwards, if you are happy with how your drawing looks trace over your lines with a thin black marker or darken them with the pencil. Otherwise, make any corrections you feel are needed prior to doing so.

Step 6 – Finish the Baseball Cap Drawing

In this case the hat is blue. You can of course color it any way you like using whatever option you prefer (colored pencils, markers, paints, etc…).

After coloring also slightly darken the underside of the visor by going over it with a regular pencil or a darker variant of whatever color you chose to make the hat. This will help show a shadow in that area.

Once done you should have a finished drawing of a baseball cap.

This guide shows how to create a fairly basic drawing of a baseball cap with it’s most common and characteristic features. It also show a good overall approach to art of working from the largest parts of your subject down to the smaller details.
