Sure! Below is an example of how you can draw a simple unicorn using TikZ in LaTeX. This code creates a basic representation of a unicorn using simple shapes and lines.

```latex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
  % Draw the body
  \draw[fill=white] (0,0) ellipse (2cm and 1cm);
  
  % Draw the head
  \draw[fill=white] (2.5,0.5) circle (0.6cm);
  
  % Draw the horn
  \draw (2.8,1) -- (3.1,1.8) -- (2.5,1) -- cycle;
  
  % Draw the legs
  \draw (-1.2,-1) -- (-1.2,-2);
  \draw (-0.4,-1) -- (-0.4,-2);
  \draw (0.4,-1) -- (0.4,-2);
  \draw (1.2,-1) -- (1.2,-2);
  
  % Draw the tail
  \draw [decorate, decoration={coil, amplitude=4pt, segment length=5pt}] (-2.2,0) -- (-3,0.5);
  
  % Draw the mane
  \draw [decorate, decoration={coil, aspect=0.8, segment length=4pt}] (1.8,1.2) -- (1.2,1.8);
  \draw [decorate, decoration={coil, aspect=0.8, segment length=4pt}] (1.5,1) -- (0.9,1.6);
  
  % Add an eye
  \fill (2.7,0.6) circle (1pt);
  
  % Add details to the horn
  \draw (2.8,1) -- (2.7,1.2);
  \draw (2.9,1.2) -- (2.8,1.4);
  \draw (3,1.4) -- (2.9,1.6);
  
  % Optional: Outline the unicorn
  % \draw (0,0) ellipse (2cm and 1cm); % Body outline
  % \draw (2.5,0.5) circle (0.6cm);    % Head outline
  
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}
```

**Explanation of the code:**

- **Body**: We draw an ellipse centered at `(0,0)` with horizontal radius `2cm` and vertical radius `1cm` to represent the unicorn's body.
  ```latex
  \draw[fill=white] (0,0) ellipse (2cm and 1cm);
  ```

- **Head**: A circle centered at `(2.5,0.5)` with a radius of `0.6cm` represents the head.
  ```latex
  \draw[fill=white] (2.5,0.5) circle (0.6cm);
  ```

- **Horn**: We draw a triangle to represent the horn, using three points to create the shape.
  ```latex
  \draw (2.8,1) -- (3.1,1.8) -- (2.5,1) -- cycle;
  ```

- **Legs**: Four lines extending downward from the body represent the legs.
  ```latex
  \draw (-1.2,-1) -- (-1.2,-2);
  \draw (-0.4,-1) -- (-0.4,-2);
  \draw (0.4,-1) -- (0.4,-2);
  \draw (1.2,-1) -- (1.2,-2);
  ```

- **Tail**: A decorative coil line represents the tail. We use the `coil` decoration from the `decorations.pathmorphing` library.
  ```latex
  \draw [decorate, decoration={coil, amplitude=4pt, segment length=5pt}] (-2.2,0) -- (-3,0.5);
  ```

- **Mane**: Similar to the tail, we draw coils to represent the mane along the neck.
  ```latex
  \draw [decorate, decoration={coil, aspect=0.8, segment length=4pt}] (1.8,1.2) -- (1.2,1.8);
  \draw [decorate, decoration={coil, aspect=0.8, segment length=4pt}] (1.5,1) -- (0.9,1.6);
  ```

- **Eye**: A small filled circle acts as the eye.
  ```latex
  \fill (2.7,0.6) circle (1pt);
  ```

- **Horn Details**: Additional lines add detail to the horn, making it look spiral.
  ```latex
  \draw (2.8,1) -- (2.7,1.2);
  \draw (2.9,1.2) -- (2.8,1.4);
  \draw (3,1.4) -- (2.9,1.6);
  ```

**Instructions to Compile:**

1. Save the code in a file with a `.tex` extension, for example, `unicorn.tex`.
2. Ensure you have a LaTeX distribution installed (e.g., TeX Live, MiKTeX).
3. Compile the code using a LaTeX compiler that supports TikZ, such as `pdflatex`.
   ```
   pdflatex unicorn.tex
   ```
4. View the generated PDF to see the unicorn drawing.

**Note:** The `decorations.pathmorphing` library is required for the `coil` decoration used in the tail and mane. Make sure to include it with `\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}`.

**Visual Output:**

The resulting image will be a simple cartoon-like unicorn facing to the right, with a horn, mane, tail, body, head, and legs.

**Feel free to modify and enhance the drawing:**

- Adjust the positions and sizes to change the proportions.
- Add colors by setting the `fill` and `draw` options.
- Include more details like hooves, a background, or additional facial features.

**Example with Added Color:**

```latex
% Replace the existing drawing commands with the following for colored output:

% Draw the body
\draw[fill=white, draw=black] (0,0) ellipse (2cm and 1cm);

% Draw the head
\draw[fill=white, draw=black] (2.5,0.5) circle (0.6cm);

% Draw the horn
\draw[fill=yellow, draw=black] (2.8,1) -- (3.1,1.8) -- (2.5,1) -- cycle;

% Draw the tail
\draw [decorate, decoration={coil, amplitude=4pt, segment length=5pt}, draw=purple] (-2.2,0) -- (-3,0.5);

% Draw the mane
\draw [decorate, decoration={coil, aspect=0.8, segment length=4pt}, draw=purple] (1.8,1.2) -- (1.2,1.8);
\draw [decorate, decoration={coil, aspect=0.8, segment length=4pt}, draw=purple] (1.5,1) -- (0.9,1.6);
```

This will add colors to the horn, tail, and mane, enhancing the visual appeal of your unicorn.
