LESSON NOTES
BEGINNING STEPS
The basic shape is like a lolly-pop with a curved stick. Draw really light so you can erase. Don't make the trunk straight but make the trunk curved or shaped like an "S." It starts out as two lines that are wider at the bottom and narrower at the top but keep it skinny.
LEAVES
Start the leaves by making ten or eleven lines from the top of the trunk outward to the circle of the "lolly-pop." Group them in twos and threes and leave a few gaps to give interest. Draw the leaves by outlining them first; use two lines that go from the top of the trunk to the edge marked by the ten or so lines you drew before, they should look like swords or feathers. Draw them each different; some are going to be turned, some will be twisted, and for some only one side is showing. Erase the extra marks. Finish the leaves with short lines going out from the long center leaf lines. Avoid repeated patterns.
DETAILS
The coconuts are ovals, draw only two or three. They are grouped together at the top of the trunk. Don't make them side by side put one behind and only part showing.
The bottom of the trunk spreads out just a little, its roots are like fingers.
At this point, you may want to go over it with markers or color pencils.
Add shadows to the trunk, leaves ground and coconuts. Add a beach, a boat, the ocean and maybe a sunset or a seagull.
Don't rush through it take your time and take a few breaks. It will be a drawing you can be proud of.
