The next style of a hat I'm going to show you how to do is a jockey's cap. A jockey's
cap, you're probably not going to run into much use for it because, say you're drawing
something with an English countryside riding field, equestrian, per se. And you have a
pair of jodhpurs as your pants. Putting a jockey's cap on it is going to only almost
satirized, become a satire of riding as far as your drawing is concerned. Because, if
you do a pair of jodhpurs, the pants that puff out for riding, you're already going
to symbolize to the average viewer what your inspiration is, is that it's English countryside
riding. A jockey's cap will just kind of make it almost jokingly what your terms are. But
you can do a jockey's cap, I would say, with just a regular fitted blazer and then slim
pants, if you want to symbolize your viewpoint of the riding theme. And then, that way, it
doesn't look like overkill. A jockey's hat is not that easy to draw because it has a
lot of detail in it. It's basically a little bowl over the head, oops that goes way over
the head. And then you'll have some sort of detailing on it. Then you have like the beanie
thing, beanie button up here with a line that runs down. You have a visor-type piece that
goes over the eyes, just over the eyes, not over the eyes, obviously, because then you
couldn't ride your horse if you couldn't see. But it goes down as a visor would. And then
you have, the hard part is the chin strap because of all the detailing you have to add.
You have to make sure that if you show that it's three-dimensional, not three-dimensional,
that it has depth and goes around on the other side. And then you have to draw that it's
adjustable because a jockey's hat is going to be adjustable. So draw in your buckle and
then you're done.
