Draw it step by step

Six steps to a unicorn

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the head

Draw one big egg shape, tipped down to the left. The narrow end becomes the snout.

2

Add the horn

A tall pointy horn on top, with two stripes across it. Then one leaf-shaped ear behind.

3

Give it a face

One dot for the eye, a tiny nostril near the snout, and a small smile under it.

4

Neck and body

Two curvy lines down from the head for the neck, then one big oval for the body.

5

Legs and a tail

Four legs to stand on, and a long swishy tail off the back.

6

Mane and sparkle

A wavy mane down the neck, and two little sparkles. Now this unicorn is yours.
