How to Draw a Unicorn? Step-by-Step Tutorial!

Step 1

Let’s begin drawing a unicorn by sketching its ear and the front part of its mane.

Step 2

Next, draw the unicorn’s head beneath the front of the mane.

Also, add a larger portion of the mane flowing gracefully behind the ear and down its neck.

Step 3

To make the mane look more elegant and detailed, add extra flowing lines.

Small details like these will make your final drawing stand out even more!

Step 4

No unicorn drawing is complete without its legendary horn.

This is the defining feature of this magical creature.

Draw the horn on top of its head and add a tuft of hair curving slightly upward for a playful touch.

Step 5

Let’s add some facial details to bring the unicorn to life.

Sketch an eye, a nostril, and a mouth.

Remember, the more the line of the mouth curves upward, the happier your unicorn will look!

Step 6

Now that the unicorn’s head looks great, let’s move to its body.

Draw the front section of the unicorn, including its first front leg.

Position the leg below the end of the mane, and angle it slightly forward.

Step 7

It’s time to sketch the unicorn’s back.

In this step you need to draw as many as 4 lines, so take your time.

In our drawing, the unicorn has a relatively short body, but feel free to extend it if you like.

Step 8

Two legs look pretty good, but a unicorn needs four to gallop gracefully.

So add two legs to the other side of its body, making sure they look balanced with the first pair.

Step 9

No unicorn drawing would be complete without its flowing tail!

Let it be long and extensive.

Divide it into two sections so you can easily color it in with multiple shades later.

Step 10

Finally, complete the drawing by adding hooves to the bottom of each leg.

This is the simplest step, saved for last to finish your magical creation!
