No, this is not a zebracorn. It is a genuine unicorn. That was just how his coat colour came out. His father is a black unicorn, and his mother is a white unicorn. The two of them are the forest guardians. This colt has never seen his parents, but he is now in the forest that they watch, looking frantically for them. Just out of shot, his parents are watching him from behind the trees. He'll find the one day...

There is minimal shading on this for a reason: to bring the stripes out. Graphite pencil on paper. Reference used.

Wow! I love it! I think its neck may be a little bit too long but otherwise it looks very real! Like the stripes and great job with the legs! ^_^

:-) Kerri Jurgens replies: "Yeah, it is the neck, but the main fault is that the body is too short. But thank you. The stripes were fun!"

Great work! I love the stripe. I’m jealous, I wish I could draw a horse body and make it look like a horse. Sadly my horse look like very weird dogs. I guest I need practice.

:-) Kerri Jurgens replies: "Don’t worry, my horses used to look like melted lumps of plastic. All I can say is practice, practice, practice!"

wow. LOVE IT! i think his neck looks good. makes him look like an arab unicorn to me. even the shape of the head looks arab...as for the short body i think that looks arab too. I had arab horses and i really do think your lovley unicorn has the body of a arab.

:-) Kerri Jurgens replies: "Glad you think so. He is a little disproportionate, and was actually based off of a Tennessee Walking Horse. But Arab sounds better!"

The stripes are fantastic! Every zebracorn would envy this uni, I’m sure. And you always get the anatomy right, that’s soooo difficult ... at least, for me.
Keep it up! =)

:-) Kerri Jurgens replies: "Thanks. The stripes were a pain to draw, but I managed. The anatomy is not as good as it could have been, so I agree with you 100% when you say its hard 12"

Heh! Looks funny. A zebra unicorn! XD

:-) Kerri Jurgens replies: "I just wanted to try the stripes!"
