Drawing Tips for This Easy Kawaii Unicorn
- Focus on the big shapes first. For example, in step 1 all we are doing is drawing 2 egg-shaped objects. Don’t think of them as “head” or “body”. Just focus on drawing 2 eggs. Trust me, it will work!
- Use the guidelines from the tutorial to help you create correct angles in your drawing. For example, the egg shape for the head is tilted at about 45 degrees. You can also imagine a clock in your mind, and note what time the clock handle is showing. So for this example (45 degrees) the clock is showing roughly 1:30 o’clock. Then you can easily remember how to transfer this angle to your drawing.
- The drawing might look complicated… but if you take it 1 element at a time, it will come out great!
- Don’t be afraid to use the eraser. It’s totally ok to erase and re-do. Get each element you add to look almost-perfect before moving on to the next one. Don’t try to get it perfect, because then you will get stuck. But get it almost perfect, meaning it’s not too big or too small, it’s pointing the right way, and it has the right shape.
FAQ
Yes — this is one of the most beginner-friendly tutorials on the site, and it works great for kids. The shapes are simple, each step adds just one element, and there’s no complicated shading required. It’s a great activity to do together.
All you need to get started is a pencil, a black liner pen, and something to colour with — markers, coloured pencils, or even crayons all work. Tatyana uses Copic markers in her tutorials, but the result looks just as cute with whatever you have at home.
Most people finish the line art in about 15–20 minutes. Add extra time if you’re colouring and taking it slowly — that’s part of the fun.
Absolutely. The step-by-step structure translates directly to Procreate — just draw each step on a new layer so you can adjust without starting over. The basic shapes and proportions are the same whether you’re working on paper or a screen.
