How to Draw a Baseball Cap

Last Updated: October 21, 2021

Baseball caps have graced the heads of some of the cartoon world's famous characters--Hey Arnold, Ash from Pokémon, Bart Simpson, etc. Now your cartoon characters can have baseball caps too!

Steps

1
Begin by drawing a semicircle. This will be the part of the hat that will rest on your head.
2
Add the visor. To do so, first draw a rectangle, then add a small triangle beneath it. Also draw a small half-oval on top of the semicircle you drew in step one.

Question

Is there a simpler way to draw it?

Community Answer

Not really, this is pretty basic. If you wanted to draw it from the side you could draw a semicircle with a horizontal line coming out of the bottom to one side.

How do I draw it from the front?

Community Answer

Well, there's the bill of the hat that's a bit thick, so just draw it with a thick line in front. Or you can draw it up a bit, or down for that matter. Just use a baseball cap as reference and take a few pictures.

Draw the person first, then draw the cap on top of the head. Make sure to put it so the top of the head is lined up with the top of the cap, so that the cap doesn't look like it's floating.
