Unicorns are one of the most popular creatures in mythology and are often depicted in art, myths, and stories. There is just one other creature that typically attracts as much attention: the dinosaur. To create something totally unique, we are going to learn how to combine these two creatures: let’s get started!

Step-By-Step Images and Instructions
1.
Start with a black pen, and draw a right-angled triangle at the top of your page.
2.
Bring a curved line across from the bottom of this, and take this to the left, and then down.
3.
Bring a wavy line across towards the top right-hand corner. Add another wavy line below this, and connect them with a curve at the top.
4.
Bring a curved line down from the left side of the bottom line, and take this to the bottom right-hand corner of the page. At the end of the line, take it up in a curve, meeting the bottom of the triangle to create the head of your dinosaur.
5.
Bring a wavy line down from the bottom right point of the triangle, towards the bottom of the page.
6.
Now, bring another curve down from the bottom of the body of the dinosaur…
7.
Now, add a curved line to the back of this wavy line, taking it across, down, and flicking up to a point. Add a curved line to the point, and connect this back to the wavy line.
8.
Add two curved points below this…
9.
And then add a horizontal curved line to the bottom of the front of the body, and add another “u” shape below this.
10.
Flick a line up at the left end of the top line, and then add another curved line just above this.
11.
Bring a line down from the curved line to create the front leg, and connect this to the leg below.
12.
Now, add three bumps to the end of the top leg…
13.
And repeat this with three bumps at the end of the bottom leg, creating dinosaur claws.
14.
Now, add a curved line below the bottom leg, and then add a “C” shape to the right of this. Wave the bottom of the “C” slightly.
15.
Add another “C” shape in front of the first…
16.
And then add a wide almond shape to the bottom of the body, creating a back leg.
17.
Add another back leg in front of the first.
18.
Now, add two curved lines across each of the bottom feet for toes…
19.
And then add a curved point to the back for a tail.
20.
Add a large oval shape to the back of the face, creating the outline of the eye.
21.
Add a small circle in the bottom of this shape, and then a bumpy shape in the top section.
22.
Add a small circle to the bottom of the nose for a nostril…
23.
And then use a black fineliner pen to add small stars all across the back of the dinosaur.
24.
Grab a black pen, and shade the space in the eyes, in between the shapes.
25.
Use a green pen to color the rest of the face, the hands, feet, and tail.
26.
Add color to the horn with an orange shade…
27.
And then use a pink pen, a blue pen, and a yellow pen for the mane at the back.
And there we have it – a gorgeous unicorn dinosaur and a totally unique creature – the only thing that he needs is a name!
