How to draw a unipolar nerve cell or unipolar neurons

Learn how to draw a unipolar nerve cell or neuron anatomy structure outline drawing step-by-step tutorial guide for science students.

What You Will Need

  • An A4 size plain white paper.
  • A pencil.
  • An eraser.

You can download the high-resolution Unipolar Nerve Cell sketching for your school projects & also use it for commercial usage on the web, YouTube. Print is only allowed for personal use.

Please note: use a light HB pencil to draw all the shapes. Once it is perfect, you can add a second layer with a dark tone. For this tutorial purpose, I’m using the dark outline.

Step 1: Draw a circle-shaped sketch & it should be open at one end like in the image below.
