"Long ago,
It seems so long ago,
How young and innocent we were.
She may not remember me,
But I remember her...." - Raoul in "The Phantom of the Opera"

I got "The Phantom of the Opera Companion" book (the one mainly about the 2004 film) yesterday, and on the pages that introduce the cast there are pictures of the Phantom, Christine, and Raoul that I've never seen before. The picture of Raoul is probably one my favorite pictures of him, so I decided to draw it. In no way did I do the picture justice, but I'm pretty happy with how it came out, anyways.

One of my favorite things about the original picture was how it captured the strong, kind, and aristocratic aspects of Raoul. He was a man of military back-round, no doubt having been trained in the art of sword-fighting (at least, that's what I think, considering he basically defeated the Phantom in their sword-fight).

Although I enjoy a good Raoul joke as much as the next Phan, I think people (myself included) can be a bit too hard on the guy at times. In my opinion, he honestly loved Christine and wanted to protect her, even though I think his jealousy and pride took over sometimes.

P.S. Wonky right eye is wonky.
