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:
Replace CursorName with the exact name on the cursor's folder. Case Sensitive. For example, FlatbedCursors.Blue.HugeCode:[Icon Theme] Inherits=CursorName
i am trying to do the same thing but when i copy my cursors to the icons folder it give me a error and says permission denied. how do i fix that?
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:
'theme-folder-name' is the exact name of the theme folder you are copying.Code:sudo cp -r theme-folder-name /usr/share/icons
