Today I bring you a drawing that I made based on one of the artistic works that I like the most, although the Phantom of the Opera is a literary work, its history has been liked so much that it has been made, it could be said that in all forms of possible art, music, opera, ballet, theater, cinema, series, comics, it's really fantastic how it has been adapted to so many media.
I have a table to draw with, however I continue to do the sketches by hand because I cannot grasp the dimensions or know what size I should work with in the program where I draw Paintoolsai.
This is the first time that I am really drawing a male figure, I have always drawn women since with them you can experience much more in appearance, clothing, aesthetics, unlike men who are usually simpler.
I decided to do it on his opera balcony since it is a scene that I love, it seems so romantic to me; many people describe the phantom of the opera as a "crazy" man and if it is true that his behavior is obsessive and aggressive I see him more from the point of view of a victim of his circumstances as someone who grew up hiding from others, With complexes, rejections and other problems, he could not grow up as someone normal, so his story is more "the tragedy of a man in love."
For his appearance I base myself on the interpretation of the 2-episode miniseries from 1990 where the actor Charles Dance plays the role of Erick (phantom of the opera).
I don't know if the clothing I chose would be correct for the time in which this character is alive, but I let myself be carried away by how I would like to see him dressed.
I also took the opportunity to make a more detailed background since I am very lazy to draw backgrounds.
Espero hayan disfrutado el proceso de mi dibujo y el resultado final.
I hope you enjoyed the process of my drawing and the final result.
