Quick Jump: Drawing the Outlines | Beveling the Head | Creating the Cap

Group all the elements of the cap and place the cap on top of the little guy's head.
Click twice to enable Rotate / Skew mode and rotate the cap as shown.

Using the Shape Editor Tool, add some lines of different lengths as shown. Change the line width to 4pts and change the line color to orange.

Convert the lines to shapes (Arrange menu). Apply a Round Frame bevel, To Inside.

Create a 200 pixel black circle with no outline and center it over the face.
(This is for a shadow treatment in case you were wondering).
