How to Draw a Witch Hat (Easy Step by Step)

Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The hat brim
Draw a wide, flat oval, like a squished circle with slightly pointy ends on the left and right. This is the brim the hat sits on.
Step 3: The tall cone
Start on the top edge of the brim, a little left of the middle, and draw a long curved line up to a point. Hook the tip over to the right, then bring a curvy line back down to the brim on the right side.
Step 4: The hat band
Near the bottom of the cone, draw two gently curved lines straight across it, one above the other, like a ribbon. Then draw a small square buckle in the middle of the ribbon, with a tiny square inside it.
Step 5: The star
On the upper part of the cone, draw a small star with five soft, rounded points. Keep it small so it fits on the hat.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a witch hat
- Draw the brim first as a wide, flat oval so the cone has a base to sit on. If the oval looks too round, squash it flatter.
- The curl at the tip is the trickiest part. Draw the left side up in one smooth sweep, hook the tip over to the right, then come back down.
- Draw the two band lines so they run across the cone, then put the square buckle right in the middle of the ribbon.
- Keep the star small and draw it last, so you know there is room for it.
