Description *cries* Don't make fun of me...I'm really sad and disappointed, I spent forever on this and it didn't come out how I wanted it to...At all, but...It's not THAT bad, don't hate me x_x It looks better on paper, truely! It does.
I looked and looked for a good Michael Crawford pictures, but I couldn't find any I liked that were big enough to draw from. Otherwise, I DEFINITELY would have drawn him, of course

So yes, Phantom of the Opera...Colored pencils o.o There goes two nights I'll never get back x_x I liked the movie, I liked it a lot and I've never seen the Broadway. I really want to now though, of course. I wanted to go before the movie, but that's just because I love almost all theater I didn't like Gerard Butler, but I really loved Emmy as Christine. Her voice was so pretty! She's pretty, and I wanted to draw this picture because of her. (And because I've never done that view before), oh my goodness, it looks horrible and I took a hellofa long time drawing her. (More than the Phantom, I couldn't get him right at all so I just moved on and tried drawing Christine.)
I kept trying to fix their faces with color until I realized that it WAS the drawings that were wrong. I couldn't start over though...I was really proud of it at 4 in the morning. All of my drawings look good when I'm half asleep, but then you wake up the next morning and look at it, and realize it's not as good as you thought..

It's not all THAT bad though...This is my first realistic picture that has two people in it. That was the hardest part...Getting then together in the right place and having them be the right size-ish. I did sort of okay on that...It was just hard! I'm not that great of a drawer I guess, I had so much trouble on so many parts of this x_x For how difficult it was to do, I like it, lol. My mom thinks I'm improving She also wanted me to call it "Music of the Night" because it's her and my favorite song. So many pretty words in one place...I can't not like it @@

Originally drawn for Or...It was going to be for her with the Michael...I doubt you want this one, ne? XP I'm going to ask Ms. Peck if I can enter it in the Puyallup fair anyway...Then all the good artists will laugh at my shame @_@ Yippy

Welp, enjoy XD I guess..?

Well, damn. I just finished a Phantom of the Opera project that took me like three months.
And this was done in two nights?
Way to make me feel shit about mine. :'(
Um.... I'll post mine this weekend. If I want to. Cause it's horrible compared to this.

mechangelrene [2009-03-07 01:26:22 +0000 UTC]

you are entirely too hard on yourself! i think this is gorgeous. the likenesses are great, and that is impressive considering the angles you had to work with.
i think the marbling of the colors looks fantastic, and takes it beyond just another portrait.
you really need to ease off yourself. you have much more talent than you give yourself credit for. you're also much more talented than me, so i would feel really bad about my abilities if you weren't any good.

I was searching for Phantom of the Opera artwork and this one stood out to me, it's amazing. I love drawings with coloured pencils and am actually in the middle of drawing the same picture with coloured pencils. lol. I like how you can get all the different colours in the face, it works so much better than when I try and do it.

i am drawing a Phantom of the Opera picture at the mo, but i may as well give up because it is never going to be as good as that. Though idon't tend to use coloured pencils, and just sketch instead.

Great job! I really wish I could draw like that..... words are more my strength, and singing. PotO was the first REAL song I ever memorized and sang, and I got started on that at ballet class who woulda thought a simple and painful warm-up for half an hour could spark an obsession that's lasted for yearafter year?
