How to Draw a Unicorn (Easy Cute Unicorn Drawing)

Steps

1. 1. Draw the Unicorn's Eye With Two Highlight Circles

   Near the top left of your paper, draw a circle that is not too big. Inside it, near the top, draw a small circle.

   Tip: Go slowly around the small circles so you do not fill them in by accident.

   

2. 2. Draw the Unicorn's Forehead and Backwards J Nose

   Draw a small curve above the eye for the forehead, close to the eye. From there, bring a line down for the front of the face and turn it into a backwards J for the nose, ending a little below the eye.

   Tip: Keep the nose short and round. A short face makes the unicorn look cute.

   

3. 3. Draw the Unicorn's Ear and Curly Forelock

   Above the eye, draw a sideways A shape for the ear: go up to a point, then back down. Add a small curve inside it.

   Tip: The ear will look a lot like a horn. That is fine. The stripes in the next step tell them apart.

   

4. 4. Add the Unicorn's Striped Horn and Back Ear

   Draw a second, smaller ear peeking out behind the forelock, with a curve inside. Then add the horn.

   Tip: Running out of room? Make the horn a little shorter. It still works.

   

5. 5. Draw the Unicorn's Neck, Chest and Mane

   From the ear, draw a big question mark line out and down for the back of the neck. She is tucking her head a bit, so it curves.

   Tip: Let the mane strands overlap. Layers make the hair look full.

   

6. 6. Draw the Unicorn's Front Leg and Hoof

   Under the chest, draw a straight line down for the front of the leg. For the back of the leg, start close to the first line and let it spread out as it goes down.

   Tip: Draw all the hooves at the same height so she stands level.

   

7. 7. Draw the Unicorn's Back and Back Leg

   From the top of the mane, draw a long curve across for her back and round it down for her rump. Under the rump, draw the back of the back leg coming down, ending at the same height as the front hoof.

   Tip: Make the rump nice and round. It balances the big mane at the front.

   

8. 8. Add the Unicorn's Far Legs, One Bent Mid-Step

   Draw the belly line between the two legs. Then add the far back leg between them.

   Tip: Start the far legs a little higher on the body than the near ones.

   

9. 9. Draw the Unicorn's Roller Coaster Tail

   Start at the rump, go up, and curve down like a roller coaster. That is the top of the tail.

   Tip: Pause the video here and add your own touches before you color.

   

10. 10. Color the Unicorn's Mane, Tail and Hooves

    Put the marker aside and pick up your colors. Rob and Hadley use pink for the mane and tail, with gold for the horn and hooves and a little pink on the cheeks.

    Tip: Color in the direction the hair flows. It makes the strands look like real hair.
