I use chalk or pencil since they both clean up easily. The chalk comes off with a stiff bristle brush and the pencil erases with a light sanding.
Palm is much easier to carve wet but for any details you want to add, you need to let it dry some after roughing it out. Each log and type of palm is different and you'll learn to get a feel for what you can do with them.

Cheers.
