Every painter has her most favorite or least favorite designs, but if unicorns and ponies fall under the latter for you, I hope this tutorial for a lovely rainbow and unicorn will help you overcome the difficulties you have with frequent requests for unicorns and ponies. The key for any horse designs is using the correct head shape and creating a flowing mane, so practice these elements a lot on your arm or your practice board until they become easy for you. Then enjoy the results as you paint for parties and events.
