Heather has done it again… That’s one of the nicer unicorns I’ve seen and simple too :) It’s a bit basic, but has soo much potential for jazzing it up – glitter, shimmering powder, a wreath of flowers around the neck, or flowers in the mane.

I have found that people are tempted to emphasize the horn with magical light beams (circle, circle around tip, straight lines from tip out). I suggest NOT doing this because it’s too difficult to get it to look right and can destroy a perfectly good unicorn.

This was one of my requested cheekart designs, so thanks Philadelphia for posting :)

Hi Philadelphia,

I really like the unicorn; however, I am still watching and waiting for something for little boys. Such as I requested in the survey, some army tanks, or race cars, trucks, tractors or something along that line. I will keep watching. I have three grandsons that will be happy when I have something I can do on them when they come to visit. The brushstrokes technique was great too, it gave me some great ideas for future face and body painting. Keep those videos coming, it so helps to see them being done.
Sincerely
Patty

Wow Heather really simplified the unicorn. Just add a little shimmer and the girls will go wild for it. Thanks for the new design.

Wow, thanks! After watching this a few times and drawing sketches from it I’m confident to be able to make a relatively quick unicorn today that will wow them from the first child!

Hello Philadelphia: The unicorn was terrific. It looked real simple. Since I am a simple minded clown and not lon on art talent, I think even I can do it. Also, can you add a body if chil requests it. Thank you very much. Larry Thompson

Thats great! i love it!! Sometimes the cheek designs go a little mucky with too much detail! thats a great simple one! especially for little cheeks!
What are you using to paint on????

I liked the unicorn. Was afraid to try one before but I think I will give this one a try. Thank you for all the great videos.

You make it look SO easy and I love how you break it down so brand new beginners, like me, feel like I CAN do that too!!!

Thanks !!!!!!!

Thank you, you make it look so easy! With a bit of practice you make anyone feel more confident to do these designs and give pleasure to children of all ages!

Thank You so much! I had been trying to draw unicorns for the longest time now. I’m sure that next time a kid asks for a unicorn ill know how to make one thanks to your video! Once again thank you.

Today at my little country church I did my first face painting with seven children. I had some references I used but I really wished I ahd seen this video first. Some just wanted cheek art but others wanted their whole face. Two were tigers and the tutorial was excellent on animal prints, I also loved the rainbow idea.
Even though I have been painting for years this is all so new to me I can appreciate all of this wonderful help.
THANK YOU SO MUCH

This unicorn is adorable and I love the way you broke it down into doable steps! I am going to be painting at our county fair next month and will add it to my offerings. Thanks again!
