How to Doodle a Resort

Step 1

If someone asked you to visualize a RESORT, what would you draw? When I think about what a resort looks like, I imagine a tropical island scene. So let’s create this. Begin by drawing the island. Use an arc shape for the island, then a series of connected arc shapes for the ocean waves.

Step 2

Use a combination of straight lines and an arc shape to draw a small island hut on the sand. Notice the angles of these lines. Huts can come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Feel free to use your imagination and create something a little different to the example you see above.

Step 3

Every tropical island and resort needs a palm tree. Use a combination of straight lines and v-shapes to draw your palm tree right next to the hut.

Step 4

When we think of a tropical scene, there has to be an element of warmth. In other words, the sun must be shining down on our island scene. This gives us the impression of a tropical scene. Use an oval shape to draw your sun. Then around the sun, doodle some heatwaves using curved lines that rotate and radiate from the sun.

Step 5

Finish things off by giving your doodle some color. And there we have it. This is our simple and straightforward visual representation of a resort. How many other ways can you think of to draw a resort scene in the form of a simple doodle? Or how could you alter this resort scene in a slightly different way? Could you add any other elements to the scene?
