"Unicorn of the mist" by Mary Catherine Gutfleisch

this piece of art, wow, it's incredible!
Charcoal is neat, you are right about that. This unicorn of the mist here is amazing, absolutely! very beautiful. It is interesting how the black, which seems like it would be something more solid, is the mist, and the unicorn is colored white, the less solid color. It almost seems as if the unicorn IS the mist! I like the unfinished look. It's interesting, creative, unique, and cool, yeah. Good anatomy on the unicorn, too. Also, I love it's horn. That horn isn't like most you see, all straight and long and spiraly. Instead the horn is curved upwards, shorter, and instead of the smooth spirals it's almost like the horn is shaped as a horn in stacked up pieces. interesting! Also, the sense of movement in this is wonderful, captivating. excellent shading, interesting concept, overall, this picture is very very lovely! It's gorgeous.

You've inspired me to give charcoal another go! lol!

Oh how pretty! I love it! You do such a good job with charcoal, which you can really see in the mist and the unicorn's hair. That's what I like most about it...the unicorn's hair! It's lovely, and I mean the entire artwork when I say that!

I love the horn!! It is layered the way most (if not all) natural horns are making the Unicorn more realistic - (too many unicorns have spirals - not on this planet unless you are a narwhale!).

I also love the way the unicorn is emeging from the shadow\light. It is so hard to discern where he\she is coming from that it is left to the viewer what they think.

I simply love this piece!!
