This is the very first pic I dared to draw of a unicorn. I ever liked the movie 'The last Unicorn' very much, and so I decided to draw one myself. I took reference for this one and had lot of work with colouring and shadowing it. The hooves and the the horn are supposed to look golden, but this was also the first try to manage something like that. Drawing the corpse of the 'horse' was quite difficult, but nevertheless I like it.

I really like the hair on it!! *does first comment ballet* You should draw more of her. That would be really cool!

:-) Sabrina Nickel replies: "thanks so much for the first comment! it`s nice that you recognized the unicorn as a female, what it is supposed to be. maybe if I took reference of your unicorn pics, I can draw more of it? =D"

Hi Sabrina,
I like this picture because of the nice colours you have used. The shadows in the picture brings out that it´s real.

:-) Sabrina Nickel replies: "thankies for being so nice, sizta =D glad that you like the shadowing, it was very exhausting to get them kind of right."

Yay! Pretty unicorn! Lovely hair, and the hooves and horn do look gold. I've never seen a spiraled horn like that! Good work!

:-) Sabrina Nickel replies: "oh, thanks very much! you`re the first person saying that the horn & hooves look gold - glad that you like it! I`ll visit you soon =)"

Been following a string of comments, see, and they all seem to have unicorns in their galleries, but this one is my FAV!!!! SPARKLY PRITTY HAIR!!! BLUENESS!!!LIKE THE SPIRALLY HORN!!

:-) Sabrina Nickel replies: "wow, thanx a lot! I must say I can`t believe that someone is so enthusiastic about this first try of me.... nearly embarrassing... =P thanx very much, I`ll visit your gallery soon! =D (P.S.: you made my day!)"

She is beautiful! I especially like the hair! The hooves and horn are soooo cute I cant do them at all! I would only make her body bigger, as her head is a little big for it.. and her bum maybe a little higher and rounder! the lighting and shading is wonderful!

:-) Sabrina Nickel replies: "  Róisín, I thank you! =D the hooves and the horn are not so difficult to draw as it may look, otherwise I would not have managed to do =P glad you like the shadowing, and thanx for your constructive criticism; I`ll work it out as soon as I have the time!"

(I liked that movie too! *sniff, sniff*)
I like the shine on the mane and tail, and the outlining. I also like the horn, and very good job on all the shaping.

Ooooooh. I LURVED that movie...haven't seen it since I was five, but I loved it...that's the one with a song from the band "America" right? I can't really remember...I remember ocean waves and the unicorn driving a beast into them...but that's about it. Okay, great job on the picture. I love the horse hair. Absolutely beautiful.

1 Sabrina Nickel replies: "hi Catherine, thank you very much for your nice comment! =D yes, the ocean waves were near the castle of king Haggard who stole all the unicorns except the Last Unicorn, and the Red Bull (Ithinkthatshisname) had a dangerous fight with the Unicorn. If you have time, you should read the book by Peter S. Beagle =D I`ll viist you soon!"
