ORIGINAL DRAWING LESSON

Unicorn

The unicorn is a mythical creature whose image has changed over the centuries. Its first descriptions are found in ancient civilizations: for example, in India it was presented as a wild ass with one horn, and in ancient Greek literature it was mentioned by the historian Ctesias. Its horn was believed to have magical properties, and only an innocent maiden could tame it. It was often depicted in heraldry, art, and literature as an embodiment of invincibility and grace.
