“Then he hissed at me. `Ah, I frighten you, do I?…I dare say!…Perhaps you think that I have another mask, eh, and that this…this…my head is a mask? Well,’ he roared, `tear it off as you did the other! Come! Come along! I insist! Your hands! Your hands! Give me your hands!’ And he seized my hands and dug them into his awful face. He tore his flesh with my nails, tore his terrible dead flesh with my nails!…`Know,’ he shouted, while his throat throbbed and panted like a furnace, `know that I am built up of death from head to foot and that it is a corpse that loves you and adores you and will never, never leave you!...Look, I am not laughing now, I am crying, crying for you, Christine, who have torn off my mask and who therefore can never leave me again!” Ch.12
That passage was my main inspiration for this drawing of mine. Another drawing that I started a couple years ago (2014) and I think it changed a little from my original intention. I intended for a frightened Christine to be making eye contact with the viewer, and for the Phantom to look all creepy there close to her face. Instead I feel she looks disgusted and looks like she pities the phantom, and it could also be because I drew the Phantom crying. For this drawing I also uploaded the original 2014 sketch and a wip that shows what the Phantom's face looks like without the hands covering him on my art tumblr

So this is the second time I draw the scene after the Phantom gets unmasked: Now you cannot ever be free!
