A way into the drawing

  1. Establish the main shapes

    Draw the brim ellipse and tapered crown.

  2. Connect the structure

    Bend the tip and wrap the band around the crown.

  3. Develop the drawing

    Resolve the connected planes and overlaps, then build layered details and a full range of local values. Preserve clear paper highlights.

A small thing to tryShow the near brim passing in front of the crown.
