Description The unicorn, through its intemperance and not knowing how to control itself for the love it bears to fair maidens forgets its ferocity and wildness; and laying aside all fear it will go up to a damsel and go to sleep in her lap, and thus the hunters take it. Leonardo da Vinci.

Well I hope they just take it and not kill it as this is the last unicorn! never trust a fair maiden!  I wanted to experiment with some black paper I have and came up with this, used a beautiful reference for the horse pose www.deviantart.com/art/nico-an… everything else was down to me.
I used black windsor and newton pastel paper and white and silver colour pencils mainly. For the moon I had play with adobe photoshop elements to help give it that glow look, I wanted to experiment you see

You're so welcome. I really love this one. With the moon and the black background, it's very striking. The unicorn and the lady are beautiful.

Aww No ears would be a drawback for the last unicorn. He couldn't hear the captors creeping up...I still love your pic...Who needs ears anyway?

No wonder they went extinct no ears and sneaky maidens tricking them all the time.
