Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The round face
Draw a wide, rounded U shape like a little bowl. Start high on the left, curve down around the bottom, and come back up on the right, leaving the top open.
Step 3: The hat band
Draw one long, gently wavy line across the top of the bowl. Start at the top of the left side, let the line rise a little in the middle, and end at the top of the right side.
Step 4: The puffy hat top
Start at the left end of the band and draw a big curve up and over, like a squished dome. Bring it down on the right so it meets the right end of the band. Leave a tiny gap at the very top.
Step 5: The little stem
At the top of the hat, in the gap, draw a small curly nub, like a tiny stalk. Make it a bit thick so it stands out.
Step 6: Two round eyes
Draw two small circles on the lower face, side by side with a nice gap between them. Color them in completely with your pencil so they are solid dark dots.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a beret
- Draw the face first, then add the wavy band across the top. Seeing the band sit on the face helps the hat look like it is really being worn.
- Make the hat dome a little wider than the face. Let it stick out on the left so it looks puffy and soft.
- Make the two eyes the same size by tracing around a coin or a bottle cap, then color them in.
