Drawing Supplies You'll Need
To make this drawing, I used Ohuhu Honolulu markers in the colors Vermilion (R2), Bright Red (R180), Red Grey 03 (RG030), Red Grey 05 (RG050), and Warm Grey 3 (WG3).
I used a Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen to outline the sketch.
And I made this drawing on Canson Illustration Manga Paper.
How Do You Draw A Christmas Hat?
To draw a Christmas hat, start by sketching the fluffy brim with overlapping curved lines. Then draw the cone with a long swooping curve and a wavy edge. Add the pom-pom at the tip using more curved lines, and outline the drawing with a brush pen. Finally, bring your hat to life with festive red markers and soft grey shadows!
Step 1: Sketch The Brim Of The Christmas Hat
To draw a Christmas hat, I first sketched two curved lines at the bottom of my paper.
These lines serve as a guide for the fluffy brim.
Next, I made these lines look fluffy.
I first lightened the curved lines, and then I sketched curvy lines in their place. I also drew some curvy lines on the sides of the brim.
To make it look more fluffy, I overlapped the lines a bit.
Now that the brim is done, let’s move on to the main part of the hat: the cone.
Step 2: Sketch The Cone Of The Christmas Hat
Next, I added the cone of the hat.
The cone is made up of one long line on the left that extends upwards and curves to the right and down, and a short, wavy line pointing upwards on the right.
After that, I added some wrinkles on the top right of the cone where the pom-pom pulls the tip down.
Step 3: Sketch The Pom-Pom
Then, I sketched the pom-pom on the tip of the Christmas hat.
I started by sketching a circle.
I also sketched part of an ellipse for the shadow below the Christmas hat.
Next, I replaced the circle with a bunch of overlapping curved lines, just like we did for the brim.
And that's the sketch all done!
Step 4: Outline The Christmas Hat With A Brush Pen
To prepare the Christmas hat sketch for coloring, I like to outline it with a black brush pen. You can also use a fineliner if you don't have one.
I did not outline the shadow as I think shadows look better without a dark outline.
Step 5: Color The Christmas Hat With Markers
To make the Christmas hat come to life, I like to color it with markers. And to do this, I used Ohuhu Honolulu markers.
I first colored the shadow with Warm Grey 3 (WG3) and the cone with Vermilion (R2).
Next, I used Bright Red (R180) to add shadows on the bottom and the right sides of the cone and two streaks on the left.
Then, I used Red Grey 03 (RG030) to shade the bottom, left, and right sides of the brim on the pom-pom.
And to finish it off, I added two darker streaks on the right side of the brim with Red Grey 05 (RG050).
Final Result
And that's how you draw a simple Christmas hat!
I hope you had fun drawing this festive Christmas hat! You can use it in your holiday cards, gift tags, or just for fun in your sketchbook.
