Draw a long line which starts at the ear and cascades all the way down in a wave, forming the unicorn's back and the back of its hind leg. Now for the biggest and possibly scariest step. You want your unicorn to be able to smell it when you bake cookies, don't you? Now, extend the face, adding two little "knobs" on the side for nostrils. You want your unicorn to be able to hear the clatter of cupcake tins that means you're getting ready to bake, don't you? Now, add little ears on the sides of the horn. It's easy, really: a thin, tall triangle with stripes for the ridges of the horn. Now that we're suited up and insprired, it's time to get drawing! I have yet to discover how a tiny naked baby can assist in the unicorn-drawing process, but I am a believer, so I am sure that one day I will learn. I am demonstrating simply using a sharpie with pink construction paper, but you can feel free to use whatever medium makes you happy. Now that you're fired up, grab some supplies. There are a few sure-fire ways: surround yourself with unicorns you love, read this post about hipster unicorns, watch Planet Unicorn on youtube, or rent The Last Unicorn. So before you get started, you have to get inspired. No superior work of art ever resulted from a lackluster state of mind. And by that, I mean creating magic with pen and paper. I'm not going to twinkle-toe around it, because I want to get straight to the good stuff. What I'm saying is this: I'm pretty much the best person to teach you how to draw them. I have been a professional illustrator of unicorns since 2007, and have been an appreciator and collector of these magnificent beasts since long before that. So you want to learn how to draw unicorns.
