How to draw a palm tree with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy drawings for kids and beginners.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1:
Draw serrated edges of palm leaves
Drawing step: Draw serrated edges of palm leaves
Let’s start sketching the drawing and improve our sketch. Draw the edges of the palm leaves in an outline with zig-zag jagged lines similar to drawing hair for a monkey or feathers on a witch’s broom.
Make zig-zags vary in size and shape. Notice the direction of the tips in the shape of the leaf – sideways at the top then down as the leaf curls down.
Step 2:
Finish painting the remaining palm leaves
Drawing step: Finish painting the remaining palm leaves
Now that you’ve got some practice on the bottom two leaves, let’s finish drawing the remaining four palm leaves using the same jagged lines.
Step 3:
Draw coconut and palm tree trunk
Drawing step: Draw the coconut and the palm tree
Now it’s time to sketch the three coconuts – it’s a straight outline of the sketch where the coconut is not hidden behind the palm leaves.
Next, draw the palm tree trunk. The small improvement here is the stem bulge at ground level – that’s where the palm tree will expand as the trunk turns to roots.
Step 4:
Draw a small island beach for palm trees
Drawing step: Draw a small island beach for the palm tree
Let’s draw a small island beach for the palm tree to stand on. Again, this is just a direct outline of the sketch. Add another line to mark the sea horizon.
Step 5:
Add some final detail and texture
Drawing step: Add some final details and texture
All that’s left in our “how to draw a brush” tutorial is to add some detail and texture.
Draw the rings on the palm stem. Add a little “S” sway to complete the trunk at ground level. Draw the midribs – note that we leave a small gap when the midribs disappear at the tips of the leaves.
The final improvement is to add some small waves around the island, to suggest that the calm sea is breaking at the beach.
