Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below

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

Step 1

Start by drawing two long, curved, parallel lines. Make sure the lines are a bit closer at the top than at the bottom. These lines form a palm tree trunk.

Step 2

Just above the trunk, draw five curves in different directions. The lines will meet above the trunk, forming a shape like a falling pentagram. These lines are the beginning of palm tree leaves, or leaves.

Step 3

Start sketching some leaves. For the first card, draw a curve from the center of the star to the top of a curve. Then do the same on the opposite side of the same curve. You will have a circle pointed at each end. Repeat this process to attach another leaf.

Step 4

Continue sketching the leaves by drawing curves from the root to the top of the original lines.

Step 5

In this step, you will draw a leaf from another angle. On your remaining curve, surround a shape by drawing an almost straight line from the root to the top. Then draw a few more leaves in the profile, using a curve and an almost straight line for each. Delete the guide lines as needed.

Step 6

Add details to the leaf. Use short lines, enclosing a few small triangles along the edges of each leaf.

Step 7

Draw three small circles at the point where the leaves meet, called the crown of the tree. These circles form coconuts, the fruit of the palm tree.

Step 8

Delete the guide lines from the coconut and the leaves. The leaves will now look jagged.

Step 9

Draw curves, across the trunk.

Step 10
