Palm Tree Drawing

A drawing of a palm tree, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.

This tutorial will show students how to draw a palm tree, and make those signature leaves look as real as possible. The easiest way to draw all those notches is to start with the overall shape first, and then add the cut outs second. A little careful erasing afterwards and voila! A tree with lots of beautiful palm leaves.

Palm trees are shaped like no other, which is probably why they are so often used to symbolize everything connected to beach life. All you need to see is just their outline and a breezy ocean comes to mind. Use this tutorial to feature a palm tree on its own, or as a start to a beautiful ocean landscape. There are all kinds of possibilities when you know how to draw a palm tree!
