Unicorn- a mythical creature, symbolizes chastity.
Unicorn, a mythical animal found in many mythological systems, named for the most characteristic feature - the presence of one long straight horn on the forehead.
The earliest images of unicorns are more than 4 thousand years old, found in India. Then they began to appear in the myths of Western Asia. In ancient Greece and ancient Rome, they were considered real-life animals. The images of the unicorn found on ancient Egyptian monuments and on the rocks of South Africa are drawings of antelope with straight horns (for example, Beyza and oryx), which, drawn in profile and without regard to perspective, appear to be unicorns. There were also one-horned antelopes, if the second horn broke in a duel.
The first mention of a one-horned animal in the West dates back to the 5th century BC. e. Ctesias, who served as a doctor at the Persian court for 17 years, returned to Greece and described wild Indian donkeys of massive build, having one horn on their foreheads, as well as a red head, blue eyes and torso. According to Ctesias, anyone who drinks water or wine from the horn of this animal will never be subject to disease. And to catch these unusually fast-footed donkeys is possible only when they are with the cubs, which they cannot leave. The story of Ctesias gained popularity thanks to the authority of Aristotle, who briefly mentioned the one-horned "Indian donkeys" as "equids" in his History of Animals.
Roman writer Claudius Elian, born around 170 AD. e., in the book "Motley Tales" speaks of three varieties of unicorn. The first two are described as similar to Ctesias' donkeys, and the third, the cartazon, wields a spiral black horn, "the size of a full-grown horse, red in color, has a horse's mane, and is very fast." Cartazones are not dangerous animals, but males are irreconcilable to each other and even attack females. The temper of males softens during the rut, but with the birth of cubs, they become furious again.
In early traditions, the unicorn was also depicted with the body of a bull, goat and horse. Some attributed elephant legs and a boar's tail to the unicorn, which led to the assumption that the rhinoceros was the prototype of the unicorn. Pliny calls the country of the Hindus and central Africa the birthplace of unicorns. In one of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, the unicorn has an extremely aggressive disposition, which further confirms its resemblance to a rhinoceros. In the Greek "Physiologist" it is noted that the unicorn is "a swift-footed beast, wearing one horn and feeding an evil will towards people."
In Greek mythology, the unicorn was dedicated to Artemis, the virgin goddess. The Jews, on the other hand, had the following legend: when Yahweh asked Adam to give names to all animals, the unicorn was the first of those named and thus was exalted. When Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise, God gave the unicorn a choice: stay in Eden or leave with the people. The unicorn preferred the latter and was blessed for his sympathy for humans.
An important role was played by the unicorn in medieval legends and fairy tales; it was ridden by wizards and sorceresses; he killed every person who came across him; only a virgin could tame him, and then he became tame, lay down on the ground and fell asleep. In general, if you manage to catch a unicorn, then you can keep it only with a golden bridle.
Unicorns feed on flowers, they especially love rosehip flowers, and well-fed honey, and they drink morning dew. They also look for small lakes in the depths of the forest, in which they bathe and drink from there, and the water in these lakes usually becomes very clear and has the properties of living water.
The enemies of the unicorn have long been considered elephant and lion. Inevitably, at a meeting, the elephant entered into a fight and, as a rule, the unicorn was the first to pierce the belly of the elephant. The lion, on the other hand, could lure the unicorn into a trap: fleeing from the chase, he turned sharply to the side at the very trunk of the tree, and the unicorn, not being able to quickly slow down, pierced the wood with his horn, after which the lion easily dealt with the enemy.
For alchemists the swift unicorn symbolized mercury. In the Moscow state, the unicorn became a symbol of book scholarship, since its image adorned the facade of the Printing House on Nikolskaya Street. Architect A. Shchusev placed a bas-relief with three unicorns on the eastern wall of the Church of the Intercession (1912) of the Martha and Mary Convent.
In Russian alphabet books of the 16th-17th centuries. the unicorn is depicted like this:
"The beast, like eating a horse, is terrible and invincible, has a great horn between the ears, its body is copper, has all the strength in the horn. summer. And when he throws his horn into the open sea, and from it a worm grows; and from that there is a unicorn beast. And the old beast without a horn is not strong, becomes orphaned and dies.
unicorn horn(under the guise of which the narwhal tusk, exported by Norwegians, Danes and Russian Pomors from the polar regions, as well as rhinoceros horn and mammoth tusk, mostly came true) was used for various products, for example, for scepters and staves, and was valued very dearly, especially because in in the form of grated powder, it was considered a miraculous remedy for various diseases - from fever, epilepsy, fire (fever), from pestilence, black infirmity, from snakebite, it prolonged youth and strengthened potency, and was also a means of protecting against spoilage. The trade in cups made of horn flourished, supposedly removing poison from food, it was believed that the poisonous liquid boiled in it.
One European miniature of the 15th century depicts Saint Benedict discarding a piece of bread given to him: the reader of that time, seeing a unicorn next to the saint, could understand that the bread was poisoned, and the saint, with the help of God, guessed it. The unicorn's horn allegedly fogged up when approaching the poison. During the Renaissance, a unicorn figurine was placed above pharmacies.
Unicorn - heraldic symbol caution, prudence, prudence, purity, purity, severity, severity. If the unicorn had a crown, then not on the head, but on the neck, in the form of a collar. In heraldic books, the unicorn is likened to a brave soldier, “who is more ready to die than to fall into the hands of the enemy alive.” There was another metaphorical interpretation of the unicorn on the coat of arms of a medieval knight: "enemies flee from a brave husband, like poison from a wonderful horn." This is also a prototype of monastic life, the desire for solitude.
It was depicted on Russian gold coins starting from the time of the Grand Duke of Moscow John III and ending with the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov (starting from False Dmitry I, it was also minted on silver coins).
Symbol the unicorn is contained on the bilateral state seals of Tsar Ivan the Terrible: Big (dated 1562) and Small (dated 1571), as well as the Big State Seals of Tsars Boris Godunov, False Dmitry, Mikhail Fedorovich, Alexei Mikhailovich, on the seal of the Grand Palace during the reign of Mikhail Fedorovich.
The unicorn is also depicted on the back of the throne of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, on ceremonial axes, saddles, window architraves of palaces, on emblems Russian noble families Batashevs, Bonch-Bruevichs, Verigins, Kudryavtsevs, Mansurovs, Ostafievs, Romanovskys, Strekalovs, Turgenevs, Shuvalovs, as a shield holder is included in the coats of arms of the Boltins, Yermolovs, Kozlovskys, Saltykovs, Loris-Melikovs.
In addition, it is present on emblems of cities: Lysva (Russia), Saint-Lo (France), Lischnitz (Czech Republic), Vishtutis and Merkine (Lithuania), Ramos (Switzerland), Eger (Hungary), Schwäbisch Gmünd and Giingen an der Brenz (Germany), depicted in Coat of arms of the Canadian province of Newfoundland.
In fine arts
The plot of a unicorn and a virgin is common in the visual arts. The most famous works are the tapestry series of the end of the 15th century “The Girl and the Unicorn” (Cluny Museum in Paris) and “The Hunt for the Unicorn” (Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York). The first series presents six tapestries, five of which symbolize human feelings, with the participation of a girl, a unicorn and a lion. Another series consists of seven tapestries depicting the hunt, killing and resurrection of the unicorn, his captivity.
Hieronymus Bosch in his triptych "The Garden of Earthly Delights" (c. 1500) depicted several fantastic types of unicorn: on the left side of his triptych there are three unicorns: white, "Scottish"; brown, deer-like with a curved horn; with the body of a fish floating in a pond. Also, unicorns stand around the pond, among people and animals. One has a horn studded with short sharp spikes; another has the body of a deer, long ears and a beard of a goat, while the third has a horn that diverges into two processes.

Types of unicorns
british unicorn
A graceful white horse with a silver-white horn on its head. This is a British unicorn. Why British? Just the first time he was seen in the forests of Britain. His body is quite powerful, otherwise he looks like a horse. However, it differs from a horse in its cloven hooves (as you know, a horse is an artiodactyl animal) and, sometimes, in the shape of its tail - some species have a lion-like tail with a tassel at the end. His horn is white, with a slight silveriness. Males have goatee-like beards. They always have long hair on their pasterns. Their main color is snow-white, but occasionally there are other colors.
Indian unicorn
Very graceful, extremely rarely stocky. They are smaller than the British (reaches somewhere around 1-1.3 meters at the withers).
The tail is as graceful as they are - it is thin, with a tassel at the end. Something like a lion. Color is mostly white with a faint grayish-blue tint.
The horn of the Indian unicorn is longer and thinner than the horn of the British, and is no longer white, but silver or gold.
European unicorn
According to some sources, there were also Unicorns on the continent once, they were very heavy and clumsy, gray in color, with a very small horn, about 15-20 cm. They had remarkable strength, but were very slow. He lived in impenetrable, swampy taiga forests. By their nature they were very calm and phlegmatic.
Their hooves were very wide and cloven, they allowed him to walk calmly both in the forest and in the swamps. In summer, their coat had a gray-brown color, and in winter it was light gray with a warm undercoat.
Elemental Unicorns or Spirits
They are named so because they are divided into four types, corresponding to the four main elements of metaphysics - water, earth, air and fire. Each of these species is divided into many subspecies - wind, rainbow (usually have a pink or purple color), stone, sea, lake, etc. Each of the species has its own habitat, habits and type of behavior.
Winged unicorns
Some researchers consider this species to be a cross between a unicorn and a hippogriff - a flying horse. Others believe that it is a completely independent animal species.
Winged unicorns also have several subspecies, which differ mainly in the shape of the wings - butterflies, dragonflies (with transparent wings), cazhans (wings resemble bat wings in structure) and ordinary or classic - their wings resemble bird wings and are covered with feathers, why they are sometimes also called swans.
These unicorns are lighter than usual, their legs are shorter, the muscles of the chest and neck are strongly developed.
In its natural habitat - mountainous and rocky areas - wings are used to maintain balance and overcome dangerous and difficult areas.
angel unicorn
In appearance, it resembles a classic unicorn, although it is somewhat lower and more elegant. The angel has some elemental properties - it can freely move through the air, although it does not have wings, live in water, pass through stones, etc. But the main difference between an angel and other species is not at all in this. This species got its name for the peculiarity of the physiological structure - an asexual angel!
Angels are born from bundles of light energy formed by positive feelings and emotions. When the concentration of energy is high enough, then an embryo is formed inside such a clot, gradually developing into a unicorn. Angels can travel between parallel worlds, as well as instantly move to any distance.
Unicorns-Imps
The most dangerous of all types of unicorns. They find it difficult to tolerate the company of non-magical beings and humans in particular. Therefore, these unicorns live in solitude, choosing dark, old and difficult forests for housing. The blood of this unicorn is extremely poisonous, so they are never hunted - a small droplet that gets on the skin causes terrible burns that do not heal. A wound inflicted by a black unicorn does not kill, but causes violent insanity - before the wounded person is isolated or killed, he will do a lot of harm.
There are also subspecies that do not have a pupil. Black unicorns prefer to be nocturnal, as their sensitive eyes cannot stand bright light.
small unicorn
This type of unicorn is most different from all its counterparts, primarily in its size. Their bodies are smaller and more fragile than ponies, but much more muscular. In addition to a lush mane, they are endowed with a goatee-like beard, and their tail is more like a cow, with a fluffy tassel at the end. Their short coat has a pleasant golden hue, which is especially noticeable in open sunlight, and an extremely long, yellowish-shiny horn. They live in numerous herds, called commonwealths, mainly in open mountainous areas with adjacent steppe regions. Once a year, animals go to the forest for mating, which, like other species, lasts only one night at the time of the spring lunar eclipse.
silver unicorn
The most beautiful and noble of all unicorns and yet very rare. It owes its name not so much to its own color, how much silver color of blood. Although his fur and mane also have gray rough hue. He is about the size of a normal horse. Like a small mealalien, artiodactyl, and its tail looks like an ordinary horse. Another characteristic feature of the appearance are bright blue eyes, bordered by long black eyelashes.
Mirror Angi
One of the most beautiful unicorns. The wool of this unicorn resembles the thinnest wire. Wools closely adjoin to each other, creating a continuous layer of "mirror". If the individual is old enough, then the mirror skin forms an upper hard layer, like an armadillo's shield. Therefore, these unicorns are sometimes called iron or steel. Such "armor" allows the unicorn to better defend itself and protect the territory and family. The silver horn also reflects light like a mirror.
The unicorn is a creature from the mythologies of almost any of the peoples of the world, found both in European and Eastern mythology. Symbolizes only the most beautiful and immaculate that can be in the world. It looks like a white horse, but with a straight, pointed, necessarily even horn in the middle of the forehead. In the Middle Ages, pharmacies were crowned with the image of a unicorn, since it was believed that its horn was able to cure almost all diseases. Then the artists often received orders for drawings of unicorns. Now, with the advent of the Fantasy universes, the interest in these mystical animals is huge again, and we suggest you learn how to draw them.

Step-by-step instruction
First, consider how to draw a unicorn in stages. We start with the ear.
Now we draw the line of the forehead to the right, go to the nose and round the chin to the left. This will be the muzzle of the animal.
We draw the eye: first we make a large circle, in the upper part of which we draw 2 highlights, we separate the bottom. We paint over the pupil. We divide the lower part vertically into 3 parts. Outline the neck.
We release a few curly strands from the ear and onto the nose. Above the eye, draw a slight bend of the eyebrow, add eyelashes. On the nose we make out the point of the nostril and the curve of the mouth.
We draw a small cone, along which we start curls.
Add a few strands on the forehead and depict a lot of curls on the mane.
From the middle of the lower part of the head, we begin to draw the torso to the right, leaving room for the back leg. On the left, we lead a bend to the front leg, which we depict without a hoof.
Now let's draw 2 hind legs, and lift the front one and bend at the knee.
The next step is drawing the hooves and a long, but magnificent tail with curls.
The final touch is to add a small heart to the top of the thigh.
Complex example
To make a real sketch of an animal, you need to know how to draw a unicorn with a pencil. So, we start by drawing 2 circles that are located on the same line, but at an angle.
Above the upper circle we draw a small circle, releasing an elongated part of the ellipse to the right of it at an angle.
Connect 2 circles with curves, highlighting the body of the animal, move with smooth lines to the head. On a small circle draw an ear and a long straight line. This will then be the horn.
We limit the front legs of the unicorn, the hind limbs and the tail to broken ones.
We detail the head: we draw a flattened and oblong eye socket, in which we place a small pupil. Add some curves above and below the eye.
Draw an eyebrow above the eye and move on to the muzzle. Highlight the nose and lips. Qualitatively draw the nostril.
Select the ear and draw the second one behind it. Above the auricles we depict the hair of a horse, which the wind blew to the left.
We start the line of the lower jaw to the left, rounding it.
Finishing work with the horn: finish drawing its second part and highlight it with a zigzag.
Strictly according to the skeleton of the fore and hind limbs, we draw their boundaries, not forgetting about the muscles and hooves.
Add a lush mane to the back of the head and neck of the unicorn.
Focusing on the line of the tail, we describe twisted curls around it.
We wipe all the auxiliary lines and grease a little all the clear lines of the picture.
Using the shadow overlay technique, we go over the mane with a pencil.
In order for the viewer to see the wonderful play of the muscles of the animal, it is necessary to qualitatively impose a shadow on all borders, bends.
Unicorn with wings
How to draw a unicorn with wings? Let's start by drawing the eye: a round eye socket, 2 flare circles, select the bottom with a moon-shaped curve, paint over the free places with black. Draw 3 eyelashes.
We draw the head of the animal with a small nose, nostrils and mouth line. We release an unfinished strand on the forehead.
On the forehead we draw a long spire of the horn, along which we start curls. Behind him we make out the crown, and behind the ear we start a small strand of hair.
Behind the crown, you need to draw an ear and extend the line of the neck down.
We put on a kind of shawl with a diamond-shaped sign around the neck. We lead the line of the body, leaving room for drawing the legs, and on the back for the wings.
On the upper part of the body we make out a small wing, highlighting a number of feathers in it.
We draw in the middle of it another same row.
The unicorn will have long and slender limbs.
We release the border of the mane behind the head. We draw several curves in it. Add a second wing to the back.
We release a long tail, in the middle of which we draw strands of hair. On the thigh of the animal, the sun with rays should be depicted.
Add embellishments to the lower limbs.
animal head

We start with the line of the forehead, nose and mouth. Add an ear and let out a small curl of hair on the forehead.
On the forehead we put the spire of a small horn with curls all over the cone.
We draw a round eye, painting it black, but leaving highlights. Separate the crooked nose and draw the nostril.
Now you need to bring down the border of the neck, and on the back of the head, highlight the mane with strands. Using a thinner pencil, draw lines in the strands. We limit the neck from below.

You can draw a unicorn with a pencil easier:
- We draw the contours of a fairy-tale character. Look at the picture and repeat all the lines. Do not apply pressure to the pencil: draw by lightly touching the sheet of paper so that the work remains neat until the final stage.
- We draw the torso, adding volume to the outlined contours and giving the body, head, legs the desired shape. We finish drawing the wings: they are large in our unicorn and open above the back.
- We draw feathers on the wings, add volume to the mane using wavy lines. Let's take some time to draw a magnificent tail and hooves of a fabulous horse. Let's draw a muzzle: an eye, a nostril, a line of a mouth.
- Add some strokes on the horse's body, on the legs and under the wings. This will give the drawing realism. Color the hooves, mane and tail in grey. Wings can be decorated with colored pencils.
you can draw unicorns and without wings. For example, such cartoon characters, as these:
- Let's start the drawing with simple shapes: draw four circles, placing them in pairs at some distance from each other.
- Inside those circles that are above, we will draw horizontal lines, so that later we can draw the eyes symmetrically. Connect the upper and lower circle with a short line - this will be the neck of the unicorn.
- Do not forget that at the beginning you should not press the pencil, otherwise the drawing will turn out to be dirty and traces of lines that could not be erased will be visible.
- You can draw one unicorn first, and only then move on to drawing the second.
- We draw the corner of the nose, add eyes and large eyelashes on the muzzle. The dot on the nose denotes the nostril.
Let's draw a lush mane for the unicorn. Let's not forget to draw a pair of ears and a horn on the forehead.
- From the neck we will begin to lead down an oval - this will be the body of a unicorn. Let's draw 2 legs (one is raised, the second is supporting) and hooves.
- Now draw the hind legs with hooves. The tail of the unicorn is lush and curly, right down to the ground. So we draw it.
- Let's move on to drawing the second unicorn. Let's draw a muzzle for him: eyes with eyelids, a nose with nostrils, an ear.
Draw the horn and mane around the horn.
