Baseball Hat Drawing Basics
Drawing a baseball hat may seem like a daunting task but with some tips and tricks, you’ll be couture crafting these classic pieces of headgear in no time. From major league professionals to amateurs everywhere, having a baseball cap design that stuns will be sure to make a bat-swing impression.
Step One: Start with a Few Circles
We’ll start by drawing just a few circles on your craft canvas. It doesn’t have to be perfect – in fact, it should probably be lopsided at first – but it’s a great starting point. Don’t be afraid to draw a few extra circles for character. Just make sure it looks more like a baseball cap than a polka dot pattern!
Step Two: Outline it Perfectly
Now we can frame the whole hat with our original circles, creating an outline that’s rough but perfect. Draw lightly and use curves instead of straight lines, as this will look more natural and collectible. After erasing the original circles, use shading or cross-hatching to give the hat a more classic look.
Step Three: Add the Bill
One of the most important pieces of a baseball cap is the bill, which demands a few more circles. Draw an oval with a rounded edge and then fill in the middle with smaller circles and short lines. Don’t make the oval too long or too wide – it should look like the bill of a baseball cap. You can also add shading and cross-hatching to make it look more professional.
Step Four: Get Creative With Coloring
Time to let your creativity flow and make your hat unique. Draw in any logos, images or words you want to give the cap its special charm. Make sure to mix it up with different shades and hues – if you’re drawing digitally, use the color wheel to get creative. This is your chance to really make the hat come to life.
Step Five: Finish it Off!
Now’s the time for the final touches. Blur the lines with an eraser for a softer look and balance the colors with white or grey for contrast. Finally, a few curved lines will really make the hat pop and pull it all together. Now you have your beautiful baseball hat ready to go!
