Love the colors!
I do think you went a little too much with the shading on the face maybe should have been just along the chin then plenty on the cheek where the mane is - otherwise I think it looks good

as it is it kinda looks like the unicorn needs to shave - he has a bit of a 5 o'clock shadow

I think it looks very lovely, it's very soothing. Only thing is the shading on the unicorn's face does not match with that of the mane. If the light source was shining directly in front of the unicorn, then the shading of the mane could be less promenant and further back. Hope this helps for next time

Yea, hair is hard to do. Some people complain I don't do enough shading so I decided to change.

I rather like the old way better and stay with the cartoon look.

Well if you like it then you should do it, doesn't hurt to try new things but really it's your work so you should feel free to do anything you want with it

I think it's very pretty! And I think the mane looks just fine. Maybe it's throwing you off because the white stripe is on the leading edge of each hank of mane? My first impulse would be to put a darker color there to add depth...but my first impulse may well be wrong. Probably is. I'd have to try it to see...

I was playing with the light and stuff. I had an arrow drawn to show me where the light comes in at. I think I need to look how the light hits on my breyer horses more.

From the shading on the head, it looks to me like you were figuring light coming from the left side of the image, yes? Maybe a bit upper-leftish? If that's the case, then it seems to me that each hank of mane should have just a bit of dark along the leading edge to give it a bit of shape, and then the highlight directly after the dark. But, like I said, I could be TOTALLY wrong. I never know about these sorts of things until I actually try it. Which is why I like coloring in Photoshop because if my first impulse is grossly wrong, there's that convenient "Undo" button.

Eh, the mane doesn't look right to me.
