Materials

First, I want you to focus on creating simple outlines. This is a great way to start because it helps you get the shape of the areca palm just right. Once you have those outlines down, you can add some shading to give your drawing depth and texture. It’s a good idea to take a quick look at all the steps before you start, so you can see how everything fits together. Remember, it’s just paper, and this is all about having fun and expressing yourself. There are six steps in this lesson, and each one will help you build your skills. So grab your pencil and let’s get going!
