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.

Get The Book!

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:

  • How to Draw books that break characters into six steps
  • Trace Then Color books for hands-on tracing and coloring
  • Draw by Grid books that teach kids to copy using a simple grid
  • Shape Drawing Challenge books that push creativity using silly shapes as a starting point

Each series is designed to help kids build drawing confidence while keeping the process light, fun, and imaginative. If your kids have enjoyed any of my other books like Cute Cartoon Animals, Food Monsters, or Cartoon Dinosaurs, they’re going to love this unicorn animals drawing book.


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!

Meet The Author & Artist

Kevin Coulston is a children’s book author, illustrator, cartoonist, and member of the National Cartoonists Society. Over the course of his career, he has published more than 100 books, including instructional drawing books, activity books, comics, graphic novels, and children’s picture books.

His popular How to Draw, Trace Then Color, and Draw by Grid series have helped thousands of aspiring young artists learn to draw through simple, approachable lessons featuring hundreds of Kevin’s original cartoon characters.

Kevin is also the creator of the comic series Dylan McVillain and The Adventures of a 4th Grade Space Captain, as well as the children’s picture book series Alexis and the T-Rexes. In addition to his publishing work, Kevin created, wrote, illustrated, and animated the web series Bad Jokes with Ugly Folks, starring legendary voice actors Rob Paulsen and Tara Strong.

Kevin believes anyone can learn to draw—and that learning is a lot more fun when the characters you’re drawing are weird, silly, and just a little ridiculous.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“The author really does a great job demonstrating how easy (and rewarding!) it can be to draw seemingly ordinary things you (and your little ones!) may feel too intimidated to try drawing without the step-by-step guide! Putting already-known shapes together and making something new and original is a fantastic way to learn! And recognizing that you can add your own twists and personality to your drawings makes all the difference. I think it’s a fun, original approach to building confidence for a lifelong hobby. I have the ebook copy, and can only imagine how great a physical copy would be!”

– Daenarah [Amazon Review]

“There are several of these fun books by this author. My kids and I have had a lot of fun with these. It’s a great activity to do as a family and see how they all turn out. Almost like a sip and paint but more of a juice box and draw.”

– Allison B. [Amazon Review]

My kids can’t wait to start drawing these monsters in their illustrations! The many different moods of the monsters appeal to their different personalities. We love the many options, styles, and opportunities to expand upon the characters. Recommended for all ages!

– Kasey [Amazon Review]

“Kevin has put out many books on drawing and animation, and has such a great feel for HOW to explain the process. His art is so expressive and kid-friendly, but his real strength is in his ability to really explain and show how it’s done, making it accessible to kids and adults. I’m a firm believer that not everyone who “can do” can teach, but Kevin does both beautifully! Pick this up and watch kids have a blast making robots of all sorts, while learning great fundamental art skills at the same time!”

– Tom R. [Amazon Review]

“My 5yo LOVES this book! The drawings are cute and the instructions are easy to follow along with. She gets a kick out of drawing muffin monsters and ketchup monsters and it actually keeps her pretty focused for long periods of time.”

– Monica [Amazon Review]

“This is a fantastic book for kids who love art, cartoons, comic books, or just having fun! There are a lot of characters to choose from, and really easy step-by-step instructions to follow. You child will have a blast drawing these fun, silly characters! And just in time for Easter baskets!”

– Bestmomever [Amazon Review]

“This is a very good book for kids that want to learn to draw, my sons love it and Kevin does a great job of making drawing fun and not intimidating. Highly recommended for the long summer hours!”

– David D. [Amazon Review]

Why it’s Important to Encourage Creativity at a Young Age

It is important to encourage creativity at a young age because creativity is a crucial skill that children can use to express themselves and solve problems. Creativity helps children think divergently, which means that they are able to come up with multiple solutions to a single problem. This is important because it helps children be more flexible and adaptable in their thinking, which can be useful in many different situations.
