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: Hood and face outline
Draw a big rounded arch for the hood, starting at the top of the head and curving down the right side. Then draw the unicorn's face on the left with a small bump for the nose and a soft curve for the chin.
Step 3: Inside edge of hood
Inside the big hood, start with a little ear bump at the top. Draw a curved line that swoops down and around, ending in a point at the chin.
Step 4: Horn and mane
Draw a pointy cone on top of the head, like a tiny ice cream cone turned upside down. Add a wavy, bumpy line of mane curls under the horn and across the forehead.
Step 5: Eye, freckles and smile
Draw one big round dot for the eye. Add two tiny freckle dots on the cheek and a small curved smile near them, then a short curve under the chin.
Step 6: The raincoat body
Under the hood, draw the coat as a tall rounded shape with a bowl-like curve along the bottom. Add a straight line down the middle for the front opening.
Step 7: Arm and pocket
On the left, draw a small curved arm hanging down beside the coat. On the right, add a little smile-shaped curve for a pocket.
Step 8: The swishy tail
On the right side of the coat, draw a curvy tail that swoops up and out and ends in a little point. Bring the line back to meet the coat.
Step 9: Boots
Under the coat, draw two short straight legs. At the bottom of each leg, draw a rounded boot shape that is a little wider than the leg.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a unicorn in a raincoat
- Draw the hood as one big bubble and start the face at its left side. Then draw the inside edge of the hood so the face looks snug.
- The horn is easiest if you draw a tall, skinny triangle and then round off the bottom where it meets the head.
- Draw the two legs the same length so the boots end up at the same height, then add a boot to the bottom of each one.
