**I (after 3 years) uploaded a better photo of this drawing. The background used to be black, but the sunlight has bleached it to a purple. I'm thinking about coloring in the whole thing with conte so that it's back to it's dark glory**
This was one of my portfolio pieces, and it's from a scene in the movie Phantom of the Opera. It's poster sized, about 3ft high, and is done in colored pencil on black paper. This piece means a lot to me because it got me through the hell that was Art 30. Not only did I have to deal with an "unfortunate" art teacher, I was in class full of students who didn't care. I got help with my projects every two weeks or so because she was busy 'helping' others (aka, on the computer checking her email) or lecturing us about how busy she was all the time. I was on the verge of dropping the class when I saw Phantom of the Opera, and Gerard Butler's and Emmy Rossum's performances blew me away. My fingers started to itch almost as soon as the movie was done, and I haunted the net for days looking for the perfect reference. I finally found this one, and knew I had to put pencil to paper. It was scary...only my second colored pencil drawing, but I'm glad I did it. Funny thing is that I only had the Phantom's hand to do when my teacher saw it for the first time and said "Oh wow! Aren't you glad you had me as a teacher?!" I almost decked her. Ah well, it got me through and now it's on my wall. I'm glad I did it, and to this day absolutely love Phantom of the Opera and Gerard Butler. He basically inspired me to get through this piece (sounds corny but what the hell) and I'm a fan to this day. Here's the "other half" [link] Here it is on the wall [link] Thank you so much to |
