How to Draw a Black Unicorn

Step 1.


This unicorn is being drawn from a side view. Start with head, torso and butt end guide shapes. When that is done add the guidelines for the neck, legs and then move to step two.

Step 2.


For step two, begin drawing the horse's head and snout like so, then make the mouth.

Step 3.


Next, make the horn for the unicorn, then draw an ear. Add the stripes on the horn too.

Step 4.


Sketch in the detailing to the muzzle or snout, then draw in an eye, nose and definition on the jaw area.

Step 5.


Go ahead and draw the back part of the horse's head, then the front part of the neck.

Step 6.


Now you can go ahead and draw the front shoulder followed by the leg and hoof shape.

Step 7.


Draw in the other front horse leg and then add the marks on the hooves to separate the leg from the hoof.

Step 8.


Now sketch out the beautiful flowing mane for your unicorn. The strands should be wavy and full of body.

Step 9.


Here you will almost draw the whole body for your unicorn. Remember, unicorns are just horses with horns attached to their foreheads. Draw out the body and be sure there is a slope to the back line and the butt end is nicely shaped.

Step 10.


You are almost done people. So keep moving forward. Draw the back leg on the opposite side of the body. Add detailing to the hock, then move to step eleven.

Step 11.


And for your last drawing step all you have to do is draw in the tail. It should also be in a flowing motion and detailed with strand lines. Erase those mistakes followed by the guides.

Step 12.


The line art comes out looking like the drawing you see here. Now you can color in your unicorn black, or whatever shade you like.
