Unicorn

Original

Edit 2

I've been trying to start with some painting with acrylics to further expand my range of media. I decided to paint a unicorn with a wavy mane. My technique was to first paint the background then all the base colours of the image and then darkened and lightened colours of the base colours for the shadows and highlights. The one with the orange mane is the original piece and the other two are just different coloured ones that I created by editing the original on Photoshop. The painting looks really nice when seen from a distance but when I'm closer, I can see a lot of odd bits that just doesn't look right. I will probably create more paintings and hopefully I'll improve with practice.
