SciFi and Fantasy Art The unicorn of the mountains by Karin Holmström


	The idea of drawing this one was first put to paper in my finnish school-book, as many of my other ideas... Notice that the unicorn´s standing with its tail facing the viewer, ALL of that hair isn´t mane! Done in graphite-pens.

6 Aug 2005	Russell Franklin	Loading... How is this not a mods choice? I love the subtlety of the whole piece. The way everything seems to meld together into one beautiful scene.
15 Nov 2005	Heather Knight : major horse lover	Loading... You are the most fantastic artist I have ever seen! sure, I can draw horses pretty well, and they look like they were drawn okay, but I do not have the same effect with paper and graphite that you do. Your art just seems to come alive and dance right before the onlookers eyes, I sure hope that with practice, I can wind up as good an artist as you have become. Keep up the fantastic work. Your artwork never ceases to amaze me!
16 Nov 2005	Kate Frizzell	Loading... I love the way you do the unicorns mane! This is beautiful. You grace us with your talent and style! Karin Holmström replies: "Thank you! The mane took the longest time to draw but it was also the most fun part. I like long, flowing manes, and I´m glad you do too!"
3 Feb 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Absolutely beautiful! I love how you made the hair a bit stiff and coarse, like real horsehair, instead of the soft and flowery stuff I see a lot.
7 Jun 2006	Estmech	Loading... Wow, I'm amazed!! There's so much movement and grace in this lovely picture... Another thing I love about the pic (besides it's beauty) is the wild feel of the environment and the unicorn itself Not one of those pathetic, dainty little things... Keep up the amazing work! I wish i could do half as good...maybe one day =)
