Starting with your blue and the round #6 brush, Add decorative swirls around the head, by starting away from the unicorn, then drawing your brush up and towards the ear.  Add a blue shape for the eye, in the middle of the head underneath the horn.  Finish the hair by adding purple swirls of hair along with the blue.

4. Next take your #1 round brush, and gently outline the unicorn. Start with the hair and just go around each piece. Draw a black circle next to the blue dot for the eye. Draw two small lines surrounding the eye. Next draw the nose and mouth, and outline the ear. Lastly with a light touch, gently outline the horn making small movement with your brush up and down.

5. Add flowers, and dots by starting with a large round brush and the pearl blue. Make sure the paint is a good consistency. Start with your brush pointing straight up, point where you want your flower to be. bend the brush down in various degrees to create flower petals. Add some shading to the hair and eyes. Add some yellow dots in the middle of the flowers. Don’tforget to outline the flowers too so they look consistent with the rest of your design. Make the design yours, by adding glitter, making the hair rainbow or adding more flowers.
