What kind of unicorn lover am I without at least one Kirin in my gallery? This was actually fun to draw, though all those little scales.... Patience isn't a virtue I have. Pity, because I really love detail. Maybe I'll draw more of these when I forget how much my hand hurt afterward. The coloring came out a little different than I intended, but that's okay, I like it this way as well. Prismacolor pencils on beige cardstock.

I really, really, really, like this one, you are very good with prismacolors and I love the medium. I have only recently delved in Prisma Colors, and I have practiced a lot on my own techniques, bu tI think you have for the better part mastered the idealistic manner of the pencils.

Beautiful picture! I know how much of a pain scales can be, I just had to draw a dragon a little while back for art class and then I had to re-trace all the scales with a pen after... although the majority it was fun 12
Again, Kudos to you! 1

This picture is a good way to express the feelings of people especially those who have a lot to say and not a lot of time to say it.

Beautiful, absolutely breathtaking... I love the simple background and the Kirin... The pose is wonderful, but I like the eyes most of all. And the scales...
