Draw an oval or round shape for your coconut. Either will work, since the shape of coconuts vary. Coconuts have three holes on the top. These three holes are arranged in a triangular pattern (two side by side and one just below and centered between the two). These three holes are ideal as the basis for the eyes and nose. Draw two smaller circles inside the side by side circles to create irises.

Draw a short line on each side of the third hole. Curve the lines slightly inward to create the bridge of the nose. The lines don't need to be long. Their purpose is to provide a little support and definition for the circle that will function as a nose.

Draw a mouth near the bottom of your oval. A short horizontal line with a downward curved line attached to it will create the basic shape of the mouth. Ad two rows of small squares running across the inside of this shape to form the teeth.

4
Draw two lines extending from the bottom of your coconut. These lines should be close together to for skinny legs. Draw one set of lines for the right leg and one for the left leg. Draw an oval on each of these legs that faces toward the outer edge of the paper. These are feet.

Sketch a texture on your coconut by shading in vertical lines from the top to the bottom of the oval. This will create the rough texture of the outer coconut shell.
