You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below

Step 1

Start by drawing a straight, horizontal line. This is called the horizon line. The horizon marks the point where visible land or water meets in the sky.

Step 2

Draw a diagonal, wavy line below the horizon line. This marks the wave of the ocean, where the water meets the beach. Between the horizon and the diagonal, draw several curved, horizontal lines of different lengths. These lines give texture to the water, indicating waves.

Step 3

Using curves, enclose some irregular shapes on the beach, below the diagonal tidal line. These shapes indicate rocks or other debris on the beach.

Step 4

Draw a curved line from the middle of the horizontal line to the edge of the page. This outlines a distant island on the horizon.

Step 5

Draw a pair of curved, diagonal lines into the image from one side. Notice how the lines are closer together towards the top. These lines form the trunk of a palm tree.

Step 6

Draw five or more downward curved lines extending in the shape of a star from the tip of the palm stem. These lines start from the leaves, or leaves of the palm tree.

Step 7

Outline the leaves further, enclosing their shape with a jagged line. This line should extend from the center of the star, the tip of the stem, to the tip of each curved arm of the star shape.

Step 8

Finish off the leaves of the plant using serrated lines around them.

Step 9

Add additional details to your images. Using curves, connect, outline the crests of the fluffy clouds in the distance. Add more texture to the water using horizontal, wavy lines. Draw another rock on the beach using a curved line.

Step 10

Color your tropical island landscape.
