5.
And then add a pointed shape to the top.

Now, bring a curved line out on either side of this, and connect it to the line at the bottom with curved lines.

Next, add a shape around the outside of the ears, adding small tufts of fur as you go.
24.
Bring two curved lines down from the bottom of the body, and take these across to the sides, down and back in, and up for the feet.
25.
Add thicker marks to the ends for claws…
26.
And then use a pink pen to shade the crown, the tip of the horn, and the spots of color on the cheeks, as well as the end of the forelock.

Use a red pen for the next section of the horn and forelock…
28.
And then follow this with an orange pen for the next section.

And follow this with a green pen for the next section.

Now, use a bright blue pen for the next section of each.

Finally, use a thicker black pen to go over the eyes and brows on the face.
