The video tutorial guides viewers through the process of drawing a 1,000m ocean depth isoline on a topographic map of Hawaii. It emphasizes the importance of extending the isoline to the map's edge and applying the isoline rule 'if true, go through'. The tutorial also highlights the need to avoid leaving open loops and provides tips for accurately placing the isoline between given depth markers.
