Description "While I was at her feet...I heard her say, 'Poor, unhappy Erik!' ...And she took my hand!...I had become no more, you know, than a poor dog ready to die for her...I mean it, daroga!...I held in my hand a ring, a plain gold ring which I had given her...which she had lost...and which I had found again...a wedding-ring, you know...I slipped it into her little hand and said, 'There!...Take it!...Take it for you...and him!...It shall be my wedding-present...a present from your poor, unhappy Erik...I know you love the boy...don't cry anymore!'" - The Phantom of the Opera

This is just a sketch I did, not very good at all, but I wanted to draw this scene SO bad!

Poor, unhappy Erik, indeed!


I cropped off the bottom of the picture because I couldn't get his legs right. BENT KNEES.

This scene from the book is so depressing.
I think the book in general is a beautiful masterpiece and one of the best romances I have ever read.
Also, your piece looks very touching! Good work!

Oh, I know, right? Erik's change of heart in the end is just heart-breaking.
The book is good. I need to read it through again, though.

Thank you so much! I can't believe my little sketch could be touching.XD

Exactly! I feel like crying every time I read the end and I've always been sympathetic for Erik.

I've read the book like two times, but I'm more than tempted to read through it again. It's amazing! I absolutely adore the musical, but there's something about the book that makes it more unique.

You're welcome! It is a great sketch! Do you think you might do a colored version?

I know when I really got into the book, I couldn't stop reading it!!! I loved learning about Christine and Raoul's childhood and more about Erik.

Hmmmm, I don't know. I might just give it a try if you'd like to see it!

I actually just finished coloring it not long ago, so I'll try and post it later.
