Technically, a unicorn is a mythical, ordinarily white animal mostly with the body and head of a equus caballus and a long flowing mane and tail. A single frequently spiraled horn is in the middle of the forehead.

Realistically though, unicorns something showing upwardly all over children'south lives these days, thank you to a fascination with these creatures. Many tin can't seem to get plenty, and and then they are found on apparel, in books, in TV shows and probably many birthday parties also.

Now, if children want to draw more than only a Unicorn Caput, this new tutorial will assistance them exercise just that. The horse-like trunk is simplified to continue things easy for young artists. And the mane and tail are fatigued with curly segments and so children can take fun filling them with lots of colors.

Older students or those with an eye for particular volition have fun adding some shadows to their white unicorn body too. Turns out that calorie-free gray Crayola® crayon that seems to accept about no pigment at all, is perfect for calculation shadows to white shapes. It adds a subtle gray that never gets also dark, no affair how hard you press downwardly with it. See? Who says you need paint to learn nigh shading?

How to Get Started

The all-time way to become students off to a practiced showtime on whatever drawing projection is to show them how to apply guides as a reference signal.

You may accept noticed that all of the tutorials on this site take a dashed line running through the center of each footstep, both in the horizontal and vertical direction. If students make their own centered lines on theirown paper, before cartoon, they volition have an easy reference to follow.

For instance, equally seen in Pace 1 below, this unicorn cervix starts to the left of the vertical line, only in a higher placemiddle of the horizontal line paper. The trunk and so continues down and to the right.

Drawing skills are all well-nigh getting the size and placement of lines on newspaper, so having some visual reference points to get started, will always help anyone learn how to exist a little more than authentic.

So does that mean students need to draw a big fat lines downward the heart of their newspaper before they start? Goodness no, please don't! That volition most likely be hard to erase and distract from any finished art. No, simply fold the newspaper in one-half both ways, make a crease, and unfold. The dazzler is that by the fourth dimension the drawing is washed and colored in, the creases will disappear.
