How to draw a unicorn step by step

A unicorn is a mythical creature whose image has changed over the centuries. Its earliest descriptions appear in ancient civilizations: for example, in India it was imagined as a wild donkey with a single horn, and in ancient Greek literature it was mentioned by the historian Ctesias. It was believed that its horn had magical properties and that only a pure maiden could tame it. The unicorn was often depicted in heraldry, art, and literature as an embodiment of invincibility and grace.
