I´ve read somewhere that the unicorns horn is three colored. I don´t know what you think about that, but I want to draw them this way.

yes its true, in some legends. the colours also vary in length, which colour is where, and where the colour begins upon the horn. Big debate. Like it though.

You are very talented.
I very much admire your gift of drawing horses.
keep creating.

It captures the beauty of the unicorn perfectly. Have you ever tried to draw the Chill-Lin or Chinese Unicorn? It does not look like a Western Unicorn, but has similar traits.

I've heard that when I unicorn's horn is three coloured, that means it's really really old. But that's just what I've read, great picture by the way.

Yes ancient chinese lore has them as having 3 colors to the horn, white base black center and blood red tips.

this looks a lot like an Arabian head, with a very large horn, it could be a little smaller, but thats all this picture needs in tuch-ups... anyways, keep up the good work!

Beautiful picture, you should consider drawing arabians as this looks so much like one.I believe that unicorns should look like arabians, as they are graceful and so exotic looking,just like unicorns.Keep up the good work!

I love the expression of your unicorn! It looks so calm and curious. Incredibly beautiful!
