Description For the lovely

Ok, not a sketchdump. I admit it.
But it does make part of my "sketchdump-request"-project, so please forgive the title. And I suppose you could call it a speedpaint - by my standards, anyways. 3 - 4 hours? I didn't actually count. But something like that.

This pic is one of the reasons I'm so happy I started this project. Now, I know it's not "ZOMG-that's-freakin'-faboulos", and that there is lots and lots of better Phantom-art on DA.
But for someone who usually never draws groupshots (not even two characters), and very rarely makes something post-worthy in one sitting...
let's say I challenged myself and came out not-totally-beaten-senseless .

It's digital, but I tried to go for a more traditional look. Dunno if I succeded though.

Textures by and

My descriptions are always too long...does anybody even read this stuff?

Thank you! Even though, right now, I'm using a different computer (not my drawing-computer, that is) with a large and better screen... and the mistakes in this pic are just popping out and assaulting my eyes! Lol!

Note to self: Must A) Buy better computer or B) avoid seeing own pictures on good screens.

But thanks again, much appreciated

Yay, someone reads my descriptions! ^^ It's nice to know I'm not writing in vain, lol.

Thanks a lot for your comment! I just dicovered that if you use "dry brushes" when painting digitally, you achive a more traditional look.

I became a Phantom-Fan, when I first watched the movie with Claude Rains as Erique Claudin. This has been long before Lloyd-Webber composed his great musical. Thanks a lot for bringing this back to my mind.
