Drawing a beautiful rainbow unicorn involves several steps, focusing on sketching, outlining, and adding vibrant colors. While the provided reference doesn't offer a complete step-by-step guide for drawing a unicorn with a rainbow, it does demonstrate the initial steps of drawing a unicorn, which can be combined with rainbow coloring techniques.
Here's a breakdown of how to approach drawing a beautiful rainbow unicorn:
Initial Sketching:
- Start with basic shapes: Begin by outlining the basic shapes of the unicorn. This usually involves circles for the head and body, ovals for the legs, and a curved line for the neck.
- Add the horn and features: Sketch the unicorn's horn, ears, and facial features like eyes, nose, and mouth. Keep these light as these are just the initial steps in the sketch.
- Refine the body: Shape the legs, giving them a natural curve and flow. Start shaping the mane and tail as well.
Outlining:
- Use a black pen: Once satisfied with the sketch, use a black pen to outline the pencil sketch, as mentioned in the video, "I'll go over the pencil with a black pen this will help my unicorn stand out." This step adds definition and helps your unicorn stand out.
- Take your time: The video also points out to take your time to avoid mistakes, emphasizing the importance of precision.
- Erase pencil marks: After the ink dries, carefully erase the pencil sketch, leaving a clean outline.
Adding Rainbow Colors:
- Mane and Tail: Use the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet) to color the unicorn’s mane and tail. You can blend them smoothly or make distinct stripes.
- Body: You can add subtle rainbow hues to the unicorn's body, blending light shades of the rainbow. Keep the main body color a very pale version of one of the colours or even a white or light grey with subtle undertones of color.
- Horn: Color the horn in a swirling rainbow pattern.
Final Touches:
- Glitter: If desired, as suggested in the title of the video, "EASY! Learn How To Draw and Color Magical Glitter Unicorn", consider adding glitter accents to make the unicorn look magical.
- Background: You can add a vibrant background to enhance the image. This could include clouds, stars, or a magical landscape.
