It’s a monumental day when you graduate from college. With your tassel happily swapped and head held high, your diploma in hand and your family smiling proudly, there’s just one piece missing: A cap! Who needs a mortarboard? With a bit of patience and some practice, you can easily draw your very own graduation cap with a flourish.
Drawing a graduation cap is surprisingly simple. First, dive into your creative side and pick a design that you love. Even if you’re not artistic, there’s a design for everyone. Then, start sketching! Grab your favorite drawing instrument and a piece of paper and make a few quick circles. The final drawing may take a few tries, but before you know it, your masterpiece is complete.
To give your hat the perfect shape, you’ll need a few basics. Start by using a ruler to make sure your circles are symmetrical. Then, create a framework. Draw four lines that intersect in the middle: two vertical lines, one horizontal line, and one angled line. These four lines will form the outline of your graduation cap – and voila! You’ve got the perfect structure.
Next, it’s time to color in the corners. Choose your favorite color and fill in the blank template with a light hue. Doing this before adding the tassel will ensure your feathery ornament stands out. Then, fill in the center of your hat using either the same color you used for the corner or a darker shade. However you color your hat is entirely up to you. Have fun with it!
You can also add a few extra details to give your cap some extra flair. Try drawing a few stars or stripes around the center of the hat. You can also draw a few small lines or dots on the brim to make your design stand out even more. When you’re done, you’ll be amazed at your own creation – you’ll have a one-of-a-kind graduation cap.
You can also bring your hat to life with a few 3D elements. Create a three-dimensional look by drawing shadows and using dimension lines. These details can make a huge difference in your drawing. Finally, don’t forget about the tassel! Complete your masterpiece with a vibrant, wispy feather that hangs from the top of your head.
The trick to drawing a creative graduation cap is to let your imagination run wild. Sketch an unlimited number of concepts, fill in the color with your favorite hues and add unique details for a personal touch. And don’t forget – practice makes perfect! Draw your cap over and over until you feel satisfied. You’ll be surprised by how easy it can be to create your very own (amazing) graduation cap.
Even the most novice artist can craft the perfect graduation cap. If you want to add a pop of personality to your special day, just grab some paper, a pencil, a ruler and some crayons. Before long, your wonderfully crafted cap will be ready to don and you’ll you be ready to take your first steps as a college graduate.
