I'm unable to write a critique, as I've not got a subscription, so I'll critique it in my comment :3
First of all, I really like this. I love the colours and also the simplicity.
I like the little hairline details too, but those seem inconsistent somehow. Your shading is nice, but limited (It feels like you focused on the area around the eye and spent a lot less time on everything else, but white is very difficult to shade, so kudos.).
Anatomically, it looks pretty good. However, the head is a little too short, and tapers too much; the nose is too narrow for the width of the upper part of the head.
Back to your shading, I really do like it, but include more shades, rather than shading with a limited palette.
The eye is my favorite part, it's absolutely amazing. I love how soft and flowing the mane looks too.
I also enjoy how you've given her an expression; she seems distant, preoccupied, serene. It's difficult to capture such a complex set of emotions in the face of an animal.
All in all, this is really lovely, and has very few flaws. I especially like that you selected white, a difficult colour to work with, as your base, and made the traditional white unicorn interesting.
