How to Draw a Cap and Gown
In this simple tutorial I’ll show you how to draw a cap and gown to create a full graduation costume using 9 steps.
I decided to dedicate this lesson to drawing clothes, and now you will learn how to draw a cap and gown. This is formal wear worn by teachers and students of higher educational institutions.
The headdress consists of two elements. At the top is a square horizontal board, and the bottom is a round base. A small tassel is used as a decoration for the headdress. The gown is a long mantle, in which the collar has a triangular shape.
During the lesson, try to observe all proportions and carefully draw the lines that are marked in red. The acquired skills will come in handy when you want to draw any person in such clothes.
