Draw a guy’s head in profile. Map out the shape of the crown close to the head. Add some crease lines at the top of the hat to show how the fabric shapes to fit the head.

Draw the bill of the cap. To draw a forward-facing cap, draw a thin half-oval for a brim above the guy’s profile. To draw a baseball cap worn backward, draw the brim going down the back of the neck. To make the bill look curved, keep the top of the brim straight and curve the bottom line that connects it from the body of the hat to the front of the brim.

Add ear flaps to the sides of the head over the ears and add ties to the flaps. If you want to add fur, draw the inner line around the face jagged with a few extra lines for texture.
