Today, we’re going to learn how to draw a coconut!
Drawing a coconut is a fun way to practice texture and shape. Coconuts have a rough, fibrous shell and a distinct round shape.
Coconuts are common in tropical areas and have a lot of character. Drawing one helps us appreciate their unique look.
Focus on the rough texture of the shell, the round shape, and details like the husk or cracks to make your drawing realistic.

How To Draw A Coconut
Step: 1
Draw two intersecting curved lines to create a crescent shape, which will be the base outline of the coconut slice.
Step: 2
Draw another set of curved lines parallel to the first set, slightly inside the crescent shape. This will make the coconut slice look thicker and more three-dimensional.
Step: 3
Add another inner curve close to the previous lines to show the thickness of the coconut flesh. This will create a layered effect.
Step: 4
To begin, draw an uneven line starting from the edge of the coconut slice, curving it up and out. This will create the base outline of the whole coconut half.
Step: 5
Draw a second curved line that mirrors the first one to complete the coconut’s outline. It should look like a slightly irregular oval connected to the slice.
Step: 6
Add an inner curve to the existing line of the whole coconut to show the inner flesh.
Step: 7
Add more lines and short strokes to the coconut shell and flesh. Make sure the lines are evenly spread to create a natural, rough look.
Step: 8
Finally, color your drawing. The outer shell of a coconut is usually brown, and the inner flesh is white. Use brown for the shell and creamy white for the flesh. These colors will make your drawing look realistic.
