How to Draw a Girl Riding a Unicorn · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: Top of the head
Near the top of the page, draw a curved line that makes the top of a round head, like a rainbow. Start at the left, curve up and over, and stop on the right side, leaving the bottom open.
Step 3: The unicorn's body
Below the head, draw the unicorn's chubby body in one long line. Start with a rounded bump on the left for the unicorn's head and back, then go down to two short stubby legs with a flat tummy line between them, and finish with a curved line up the right side.
Step 4: Shoulders and knee
Just under the head, draw a curved line for the chin and shoulders. Then draw a line sloping down on the right toward the unicorn's back, and a little hook shape in the middle for the girl's bent knee.
Step 5: Cheek and side
On the left, draw a short line down from the head that curves in toward the body to make the girl's cheek and side. Let it flow down until it meets the knee.
Step 6: Face, horn and hair
Draw two dots for eyes, a tiny smile and two curved eyebrow lines on the girl's face. Then add a small striped cone for the horn, a little bump for the ear and a tuft of fluffy hair on the unicorn's head. Finish with a small hair tie on the girl's right and two short arm lines on her body.
Step 7: The swishy tail
At the back of the unicorn, start a curl that sweeps up, then swoops down and flicks out at the tip. Add a few curved lines inside it to make the tail look flowy.
Step 8: Unicorn's eye and nose
Draw one round dot for the unicorn's eye on its head. Then add two tiny dots near the front for its nose.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a girl riding a unicorn
- Leave room around the head at the top, since the girl sits above the unicorn's back. Draw the unicorn's body in one smooth line, and keep the legs short and chubby.
- The girl's knee and arm are the trickiest part. Take your time with the hook shape and the short lines, and keep them small.
- For the tail, draw one long curve first, then the flick at the end, and add the inside lines last so they follow the same swoop.

Girl riding a unicorn fun fact for kids
The unicorn is a make-believe animal, but the idea of its horn may come from the narwhal, a real whale whose long spiral tusk is actually a tooth. In medieval Europe, traders sold these tusks as unicorn horns.
Questions about drawing a girl riding a unicorn
What shapes do I need to draw a girl riding a unicorn?
You need a curved line for the girl's head, a rounded body for the unicorn, a cone for the horn, and some curvy lines for the tail. Start with the biggest shapes and add details last.
How do I make my unicorn look cuter?
Use a big round eye and keep the legs short and chubby. A striped horn and a swishy tail make it even sweeter.
