🖊️ What You Need

If you like drawing on a screen, a digital drawing tablet and stylus work great too. But paper is all you really need for an easy drawing.

Have you ever wanted to draw a real cowboy hat, the kind you see at a rodeo or in a Wild West movie? In this guide, I will show you how to draw a cowboy hat step by step. We will start with a simple crown shape, add a fancy band with a braided rope and a shiny star, and finish with a big curly brim.

This cowboy hat drawing has more details than a basic doodle, but every step is small and easy. If you can draw curves, dots and little circles, you can do this. It takes about 20 minutes. Short on time? Scroll down for a quick 6-step easy version for younger kids.

Quick tip before we begin: in the steps below, each new line you add is shown in red, and everything you already drew stays in black. That way you always know exactly what to draw next.

Quick Answer: How Do You Draw a Cowboy Hat?

To draw a cowboy hat, first draw the crown with a dent on top. Next, add a decorated hat band around the bottom of the crown. Then draw a wide brim that sweeps out to one side and curls up on the other. Finish with stitching lines, ink your drawing and color it brown or tan.
