Description This is one of my favorites that I have drawn but, it is not even complete yet. I still feel like there's something more I have to add. If you have any suggestions, lemme know. I find that drawing silhouettes are easier than drawing people because you don't have to add all the detail and whatnot.

I really enjoyed drawing this! That hardest part of it was drawing the rose. I'm not good with flowers so I had to look a rose up on google and draw it big enough to put it in the background.

The girl can be whoever you want it to be. Christine or OC

It just needs a background, that's all. Draw a dark red curtain in the background.

All it really needs is a background.

Silhouettes always look so beautiful and elegant! I love 'em!

I hear that about drawing roses! I find them to be hard with all the petal detail! I think you did a great job on yours though! Looks amazing!

Love how Erik turned out, he really pops and stands proudly out. I wonder if Christine might need something white on her as well, like how Erik has his white mask. Maybe a white pearl necklace on her? That might create some sort of balance maybe.

Yes I do love them as well. They just seem more like a gothic romace kind of art to me and thank you so much. I soent so much time on that flower. It was my first attempt to draw one.

Yes everyone loves how Erik came outand I must agree he looks quite handsome, even for a silhouette picture lol. I thought about putting a white rose in Christine's hair at one point but I though what's the point of that if there's already a rose in the background. I believe white pearls would do her good though to balance out the picture. I could just paint them on there though because I used all permanent marker for the whole project

On second thought, Christine may not need anything like that on her. Might create too much white space. It looks great as is. Not sure why I thought that previously. Sorry. Don't mind me.

Argh, what a minimalist comment! XD I'm going to try it again:
What I really like about this design is the contrast of colours. Especially the white mask attracts attention. The rose in the center was drawn in great detail and seems to connect the two silhouettes, which also gives the design a symbolic character.
Personally, I'd leave it like this. But if you're really looking for something to add, I'd suggest some tribal-y swirls XD

Hmmm I most likely will leave it as it is. I really do like it. I'm very proud of this drawing. It came out nicely.

I don't think it needs a background; the black and red look more striking against the white

lovely~ I don't think it needs anything, 'cept perhaps a background of sorts.
