This next tutorial is going to be on another unicorn. You will be learning how to draw a sky unicorn. All unicorns are basically the same in myth no matter what different type of breed they are. I know there is a unicorn on here now, but lets face it is out dated and I made it for Christmas. Well guess what? It’s not Christmas anymore. So just in time for spring, I think that this is a good tutorial on a different angle. I also think I made a good choice. Don’t you? As we all know unicorns have been a part of fantasy for many races and countries. The difference is the types of myths that have been passed on over a long time period. Unicorns have been a part of folk tales, songs, poems, and stories for centuries now and the stories are still running strong. Also, the unicorn remains an unsolved mystery as far as being an animal of truth or legend. Now as we all know, the unicorn is usually portrayed as a slender, white horse with a spiraling horn on its forehead. Some believe that the horn possesses magical powers, and some believe that if the horn from the unicorn is stolen by hacking or breaking of some sort, the misery of the animal will be passed on to folks no matter if a part was played by them or not. In the movie “Legend” starring Tom Cruise, the two unicorns are male and female and they keep the evil darkness away by there light that is reflected by love and peace. The unicorn’s horn was sought after by the devil himself so he could bring darkness and evil to earth. The movie was definitely one of the greatest 80’s movies of all time. I still love watching it till this day. I’ve always been into all types of fantasy creatures and myths, I guess I’m an eccentric person at heart, but aren’t we all? Any how you will learn how to draw a unicorn once again with this new tutorial on one of the most beautiful mythological creatures of all time. As long as there is little girls that dream about princes and unicorns, this creature will be around forever.
