How to Draw a Unicorn In Just Six Steps

Drawing a unicorn in just six steps is a fun and creative project. In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of drawing a simplified and charming unicorn. Please note that this is a basic representation, and you can add your own details and style to make it unique. To ensure clarity, I'll provide detailed instructions within 1000 words or less.

Step 1: Basic Shapes and Head 

Start by drawing a large oval shape in the center of your paper. This will be the unicorn's head. Below the oval, draw a slightly curved line to represent the unicorn's neck.

Step 2: Unicorn's Body and Legs 

From the bottom of the neck, extend two lines downward and slightly outward to create the front legs of the unicorn. These lines should taper as they go down and curve slightly at the ends to form the hooves.

Next, draw a curved line connecting the front legs to create the unicorn's chest and belly. From the end of this line, extend another set of lines downward and outward to create the hind legs. Again, taper these lines and add curved ends for the hooves.

Step 3: Unicorn's Tail and Mane 

Now, let's add the unicorn's tail. Extend a long, flowing line from the back of the unicorn's body, curving it gently. You can give the tail a wavy appearance for a more whimsical look.

For the mane, draw a series of curved lines along the top of the unicorn's neck, flowing from the base of the head to the back. These lines should be wavy and irregular to create a natural, flowing mane.

Step 4: Unicorn's Horn and Facial Features 

Draw a long, straight, and pointed horn at the center of the unicorn's forehead. The horn should be placed between the eyes and extend upward. Make it slightly curved for a graceful look.

For the eyes, draw two large, oval shapes on the unicorn's face. Place them evenly spaced above the snout. Add small circles inside the eyes to represent the pupils. Draw a small, smiling mouth just below the eyes. You can add a tiny nostril at the tip of the snout as well.

Step 5: Ears and Hoof Details 

Draw two tall, pointed ears on top of the unicorn's head. The ears should be positioned on either side of the horn and face forward.

To give detail to the hooves, draw two curved lines on each hoof to indicate the separation of the hoof's hard outer rim and the softer inner part. This adds a realistic touch to your unicorn.

Step 6: Unicorn's Mane and Tail Details 

Add more depth and texture to the unicorn's mane and tail by drawing curved lines and small swirls within them. These lines represent the strands of hair in the mane and tail. Make the mane look flowing and graceful, and the tail appear lush and dynamic.

Final Tips:

Feel free to use your creativity to add more details and colors to your unicorn. You can give it a coat of any color you like and add highlights or shading to make it look more three-dimensional.

Unicorns are often associated with a variety of colors, so don't be afraid to get creative with your coloring choices. Consider using pastel shades or bright, vibrant colors to make your unicorn stand out.


In just six steps and 1000 words or less, you've created a charming unicorn drawing. As you continue to practice and refine your drawing skills, you can explore different poses, expressions, and styles to create a variety of enchanting unicorn characters. Happy drawing!
