ERIK FROM 'THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA'
Hello, everyone! This week I reviewed 'The Phantom of the Opera (1989)' and here is the product of the speed-paint that featured in my review. I don't usually draw male characters and in such long clothing, so I thought this turned out pretty well, all things considered. I decided to draw the version of 'Erik' from the 1986 musical as I think the design is much more recognisable than the one in movie, and I just prefer the design from that musical. Hope you guys like it!

:0 I absolutely adore this. I’m glad to know that this design is still so popular. My favourite phantom varies a lot, and depends on my mood TBH ^_^;
I love the composer in the art here, the way Erik is clearly on a stage is so fitting given his character and how this look was so often used in the Broadway productions. The way his face is stylized too is perfectly mysterious <3 great work on this
Would love to watch the review :o
Thank you, I am glad that you like my drawing so much! The setting of the drawing was based on the scene where Erik steps out from behind the mirror in the 1986 musical, and the pose was a popular pose that I saw in many posters of the character, including the 1925 silent film. I update my blog on here pretty much every time I post a video, with a link to said video, but my review for the 1989 'Phantom' movie can be viewed here:
