New Release: How to Draw: Unicorn Animals
If your kids love unicorns, animals, and getting creative with a pencil, then I’ve got a brand-new release they’re going to be obsessed with. I’m excited to officially announce the launch of my latest title, How to Draw: Unicorn Animals. This unicorn animals drawing book is packed with 50 one-of-a-kind mashups of real animals and magical unicorns, all drawn by hand (by me!) and broken down into six easy-to-follow steps.
This book is for anyone who’s ever wondered what a unicorn elephant might look like, or a unicorn turtle, or even a unicorn alligator. It’s silly, it’s fun, and it’s exactly the kind of project that invites creativity and big imagination. If you’re searching for a unicorn animals drawing book that stands out from the rest, this one is filled with charm and character you won’t find anywhere else.
Inside the Book: 50 Whimsical Unicorn Mashups
Each page features a unique animal-unicorn hybrid, complete with adorable expressions, cute poses, and loads of personality. Some are graceful, some are goofy, and some are just downright unexpected—but they all share that signature unicorn magic.
Every drawing is broken down into six simple steps so kids can follow along with ease. Whether your child is drawing a unicorn cat or a unicorn hippo, they’ll start with basic shapes and build each character piece by piece. It’s a great way to teach drawing fundamentals while keeping things imaginative and fun.
This unicorn animals drawing book is especially perfect for ages 5 and up, and I designed it to be approachable for beginners while still offering enough variety and character for more experienced young artists.
Why Kids (and Parents) Love It
- Every Character Is Original: I hand-drew every single unicorn animal, so each one has its own personality and charm. These aren’t clip art or AI-generated drawings—they’re unique illustrations you won’t see anywhere else.
- Confidence-Boosting Layout: The six-step method makes it feel manageable. Kids feel empowered when they see their drawing take shape step-by-step.
- Unicorns + Animals = Instant Fun: There’s just something inherently fun about merging a panda with a unicorn horn or turning a narwhal even more magical.
- Screen-Free Creative Time: This book is a perfect screen time alternative. Drawing encourages focus, patience, motor skills, and storytelling.
Also Available in Trace Then Color and Draw by Grid Formats
To make the creative experience even more accessible to every skill level, I’ve also created two companion editions of this unicorn animals drawing book:
- Trace Then Color: Unicorn Animals – This version lets kids trace each unicorn animal before coloring it in. It’s great for younger kids or anyone who loves the relaxing rhythm of tracing and coloring.
- Draw by Grid: Unicorn Animals – Perfect for developing hand-eye coordination, this edition uses a grid-based method where kids replicate each drawing square by square.
Both versions include the same whimsical characters found in the original How to Draw edition, just presented in different ways to meet different learning styles. No matter how your child prefers to draw, there’s a unicorn animals drawing book that’s just right for them.
Part of the Art Books for Kids Series
How to Draw: Unicorn Animals is the newest addition to my growing Art Books for Kids series, which now includes over 70 titles across different formats. If you’re new here, this series includes:

Final Thoughts
Creating this book was a blast, and I hope it brings as much joy to your home as it did to my sketchbook. Whether your child is new to drawing or already filling notebooks with doodles, How to Draw: Unicorn Animals is a magical way to encourage their creativity.
Remember, it’s not just about drawing—it’s about the stories kids create, the confidence they build, and the fun they have along the way. And with the Trace Then Color and Draw by Grid formats also available, there’s something for every young artist in this unicorn animals drawing book series.
Thanks for checking out the new release, and as always—keep drawing!
