Palm Tree Drawings

Are you interested in learning how to do palm tree drawings?

Or are you just wanting a simple palm tree drawing, already done and waiting just for you?

You will find results either way on this page.

This is a drawing of a royal palm tree. It has a different trunk to most.

At the join near the top, that is a brown fibre that is growing there.

I love doing nature drawings so I'm looking forward to showing you my drawings of palm trees.

Here is an outline of a palm tree for you to practice with.

I have done it sparsely to show you the basic way to draw the tree. You can see it consists only of the trunk and the leaves.

Now, this is an easy drawing subject for you to tackle.

When you draw the leaves at the top of the tree, visualize how the leaves would fall from each branch.

The leaves on the uppermost part of the branch would be barely visible so you draw the strokes almost parallel with the stem.

This gives the illusion the leaves are falling downward.

All About Palm Trees

The majority of palms grow straight and tall with a single trunk.

This drawing on the left is a coconut tree drawing, some of them are on a bit of a lean.

You will also find some palms with several trunks growing from the same roots.

The thickness of the trunk varies with all the different types of palms.

The branches don't generally grow from the trunk. Most of them are clustered at the top of the trunk.

Different palms also bear fruit. The most common fruits we know that come from palm trees are dates and coconuts.

This is a drawing of a coconut still in its outer casing, called the husk.

Palms are mainly tropical trees. Most palms have large leaves and no branches.

They can grow to 100 feet or 30 meters high.

We use palm tree products for lots of things, ranging from cooking, to soaps, to furniture. It's a very versatile plant.

I love the look of palm trees. Maybe because they remind me of exotic places.

This is the palm tree drawing I completed after using the outline.

Start all the leaves at the center to create the density. I made the trunk thinner towards the top.

I wonder if I am finding drawing a lot easier due to the amount of practice I am getting?

These palm tree drawings were a breeze and they didn't take much time to produce.

I didn't worry whether the trunk lines were straight on any palm tree drawing, most trees have lumps and bumps.

You are never too old to start drawing! It is a skill to be learned, not a talent that you are born with.

If you are interested in drawing, you will notice that you start to see things differently, and life takes on a whole new perspective.

Kick off your art classes and copy these pencil drawings of palm trees. Experiment and draw a grove of palm trees.

Have you remembered to put a date on all of your drawings? This is important, mainly to observe how much you improve over a period of time.
