Here’s a straightforward tutorial on how to draw a rearing unicorn silhouette. It’s all black fill, no internal detailing, which makes this a good practice for shaping proportions and flow. With 14 steps total, it’s simple and doesn’t require advanced skills, just some attention to shape and pose.
Key Details
- Long horn angled forward from the forehead
- Mane shaped into layered curves extending back
- Two raised forelegs with clean, angled joints
- Back legs firmly planted, showing weight support
- Tail arched with a wavy, thick base
- Compact hooves and smooth limb outlines
If you’re up for more silhouette drawing, I’d also try a walking unicorn, a horse, or wolf howling pose next to vary subject shapes.
