How to Draw A Cartoon Cowboy Hat

In this tutorial, I will show you how to draw a nice cartoon cowboy hat! You don't need to be a ranch worker or riding a horse in a rodeo to own a famous cowboy hat. 

This particular object (also very popular among country music lovers) is visually fascinating! So let's try to draw a simple cowboy hat in order to understand why it is so popular!

Step 1

Draw a rectangle to illustrate the crown of your hat. Notice that this shape is almost the one of a square.

Step 2

Next, add a triangle just like shown above to create the rolled part of the hat.

Step 3

Complete this step by drawing a rectangle in front and a circle on the far side.

Step 4

Refine the outline of the crown and add a crease on top of your cowboy hat.

Step 5

You can also refine the front part of the object by joining the rectangle and the circle together.

Step 6

Finish the sketching part by working on your triangle. Your hat should look fine by now.

Step 7

Draw some details like the hatband near the bottom of the crown. You can also add a few lines (like shown above) to add a realistic touch to your artwork.

Step 8

Color your hat with a brown tone and paint the hatband using a color similar to the one of the skin.

Step 9

Of course, you can add some shadows on your object to make this one more appealing. Great! You've just created a perfect cowboy hat using a few shapes and your drawing abilities! I hope you had fun drawing this particular object and don't forget to practice!
