Description 'Unicorn and the Lion'

Needed a break from writing, so I decided to sketch out the three main characters; Unicorn, Lion, and Sparrow(Original, I know).
Didn't have the time to play around with my scanner settings, so it's a little grainier than it is on paper(Even despite the fact it's done in pencil xD), but that's alright. You get the general idea.
As you can see, I've yet to clean up all the smudging my accursed grimy hands are guilty for.

First lion I've ever drawn. Didn't come out too bad, in my opinion(He's /meant/ to be a barbary lion). First SPARROW(Russet sparrow, which explains all the red) I've ever drawn, but I'm not so fond of him. He's a bit funny-lookin', but I'm sure you can forgive me for that. There's a tad more of a blue tint to Unicorn than you can see here. Technically, he's meant to be white with subtle blue dapples on his hindquarters, but you can't exactly SEE his back end.

I know this might sound a bit stupid, but what did you use to colour it? And how did you get the colours to come out so smoothly?

Not stupid at all. I used simple coloured pencils; aaaand... I didn't do anything special to it, it just came out that way. xD

It looks nice. I usually just do my drawing in pencil and sometimes charcoal. You did a good job though.

haha! awesome!

i JUST got home from getting a lion done on my shoulder.

i already showed the pic to one of my tattoo guys. he's things it's awesome. i had planned on getting it on my leg, but now that i've thought about it i'm gonna make it part of my sleeve on my right arm. it's gonna be real kick ass.

i saved the picture to my computer. but if you don't mind i'll probably take the bird out. eventually i'll have to have more added on to the tops of the trees to complete the sleeve.

thanks a lot for giving me permission. i love scouting out deviantart looking for tattoo ideas.

This is beautiful. Lovely job with pencils, here. The coloring is very well done and I love both the lion and the unicorn. The subtle blue shading on the white unicorns is especially lovely.

I really like sparrow best. I like Unicorns and Lions - but out of the three; the sparrow is my fave animal

lol, awesome work~

Funny, 'cause I've always disliked the way I did Sparrow in this.

It's so pretty! It's like the lion and the unicorn who were fighting for the crown, isn't it?

Very well done lion, very good to be the first!

Thank you!

That was part of the reason I picked a lion to be the second character in the story. Unicorns and lions seem to fit each other, fighting or not xD
