First you need to find a cursor theme that contains larger cursors. Look at gnome-look.org, category X11 mouse themes.

One such cursor theme: Flatbed Cursors which has 5 colors and 4 sizes.

Download the cursor package (archive), extract the folder of the cursor you want to use from the archive, and then copy or move that folder into /usr/share/icons

Then follow this post:

You need to create the 2-line file named cursor.theme if it is missing from inside the cursor's folder, and save it there:

[Icon Theme]
Inherits=CursorName

Replace CursorName with the exact name on the cursor's folder. Case Sensitive. For example, FlatbedCursors.Blue.Huge

You need to start with sudo to give yourself temporary root privileges.

Start terminal and navigate to the location of the extracted theme's folder, then:

sudo cp -r theme-folder-name /usr/share/icons

'theme-folder-name' is the exact name of the theme folder you are copying.
