Follow the steps
Each step matches one panel in the sheet above — draw along at your own pace.
- 1
Start with a Circle
Begin by drawing a nice, big circle in the middle of your paper. This will be the head of your unicorn.
- 2
Add the Body Oval
Below and slightly overlapping the head circle, draw a horizontal oval. This will form the unicorn's cute body.
- 3
Shape the Head
Now, add two small, rounded ears on top of the head. Draw a curved line across the top for the mane's base and a small, pointed shape for where the horn will go.
- 4
Draw the Face and Horn
Draw a pointy horn on top of the head. Give your unicorn a sweet, simple smile and two tiny dots for eyes.
- 5
Mane and Body Line
Add some wavy, fluffy lines for the unicorn's mane, flowing down from the top of its head. Draw a curved line extending from the body oval for the back.
- 6
Front Legs
Time for legs! Draw two short, rounded shapes for the front legs, extending downwards from the body. Add a small curved line on the body for a belly detail.
- 7
Back Legs and Tail Start
Draw two more short, rounded shapes for the back legs. Now, start drawing a curved line from the back of the body, which will be the beginning of the tail.
- 8
Complete the Tail
Finish the tail by adding a fluffy, wavy end to the curved line you just drew. Make it look soft and flowing!

Refine Your Unicorn
Carefully go over all your lines with a darker pencil or marker, making them neat and clean. Erase any extra guide lines to reveal your adorable unicorn!
