Drawing a unicorn and putting your own design on the  wall can be a fun activity that any unicorn lover would enjoy. You can easily show your personal style to any guest with your own unicorn drawing. Anyone would feel pleasantly surprised by a beautiful hand-drawn unicorn welcoming them at the door.

It’s also a great family activity that you can do with your children to strengthen your bond. However, drawing a unicorn can be a difficult task for small children, who may not yet be very good with their hands. Don’t worry, an easy unicorn drawing like the one we show you here will work very well. Just a few basic steps and children can make their own little unicorns that they love. Let’s get started!

• Start with the only major features of the unicorn : the head and body. Use a soft black pencil for the sketch to easily erase and add details later. A perfect circle is for the unicorn’s head and another oval right next to it is the unicorn’s body. Note to draw its body lower than the head and to hide part of it behind the head as well. The size of the head is also slightly larger than the body. All the precise details will develop from these basic shapes.

• From there, you will start with the actual structure with all the details you see in the unicorn. You can use coloured pencils here to draw the curve of the unicorn’s jaw, add its horn and its little ear. The size of these elements should be proportional to the size of the head. Or you can make it too small, or too big for a comic effect.

• Proceed with further details on the head. Start with the beautiful mane. Just draw a natural curve at the top right of the head. Keep the wavy curve as natural as possible, as if you were drawing long, curved hair. This may not be easy for children. You can tell them to loosen their hand, not to exert too much force on the paper. That way they can get a nice drawing of the unicorn mane. Then add the stripes for the mane and horn so that your unicorn looks more real.
• Continue with the big eyes, the small nostril holes and the mouth. While the nostrils and mouth can easily be made with simple curves and dots, the eyes may need more care for a shiny effect. To create a large sparkling eye for our pretty unicorn, you create small white bubbles inside the eye and fill only the outside color. Finally, add a small lash above the eye to create a dreamy look. Only 3 steps and we have already finished the drawing of the unicorn head.

• Draw two rectangular legs of the unicorn under the sketch of its body. Connect them with a soft curve. Pay more attention to the waist and the space between the two legs so that the lower part of the body does not look weird. The size of the leg should match the size of the body you drew in step 1. Try to make all the corners of the legs less sharp by rounding them off. Our adorable unicorn doesn’t really need sharp hooves, does he ?

• Here is the last step to finish our beautiful unicorn ! Draw another leg the same size as the other legs at the end of his body. Then connect it to the head and the two front legs by redrawing the body line as we did in step 1. Finally, make two deep curves to create a beautiful tail for the unicorn. Draw more details for the tail because you want to make it more lively. Now, for a clean design, delete the basic sketch from step 1. Your child already has a pretty unicorn to decorate her room.

• The most fun step that your kids will really enjoy. Let them paint the unicorn with their colourful imagination. They may not be the most skilled painters, but you’ll be surprised by their creativity when they play with colours. They will certainly be so eager to show their friends and family the pretty unicorn they make themselves. And guess what, they might treasure it more than any unicorn plush toy you give them.
