This serves as Twilight Sparkle's snout. Connect this with two curved lines to the oval, serving as her neck. Draw also shapes above the circle for her ear and unicorn horn.
This is a vertical line with two horizontal lines across it, forming a kind of two-beamed cross. This will help in placing Twilight Sparkle's eyes.
Note that her unicorn horn would be protruding from her forehead and going through the center of her hair fringes.
Draw her long brushed tail.

Trace a vertical line to the very center of both these shapes, then add two parallel horizontal lines that will intersect this vertical line (forming some sort of a cross). These lines will serve as a guide where the facial features will be placed.
Beneath it, attach an inverted pentagon to serve as her hips.
Do this with a pair of lines to serve as her neck. Draw curved pipes and ovals as guide for her arms and hands.
Using the facial guide lines, draw her eyes, eyebrow and mouth.
Also, start tracing her hands and upper part of her uniform.
Note: her hair is purple, and at the center is a line with pink and violet combination.^{[1]

Expert Answer

Twilight Sparkle is a purple unicorn from My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic who later became elevated to Princess Twilight Sparkle, an Alicorn pony. She was a student of Princess Celestia and was taught to learn all about friendship in Ponyville. She is a purple unicorn or Alicorn later in the series. She has purple hair with a pink streak, and because she's a unicorn, she has a unicorn horn. She has purple eyes and a pink, purple, and white starburst on her as her cutie mark.

Question

How do I transform a kawaii human character into an alicorn?

Community Answer

To transform your kawaii human character into an alicorn, you should primarily add wings. Alicorn wings are typically larger and more prominent than Pegasus wings, so ensure your design reflects this characteristic.
