Description This is the companion piece to my other HEROS portrait, Sylar- the watchmaker . For some reason it scanned darker than it really is. At least it looks dark on my computer.

Peter gave me the hard time. And here I thought that Mark Hamill had the hardest face to draw. Not so anymore. Milo Ventimiglia beats him hands down. Still I did my best so enjoy.

This piece will also be on display at ComicCon in San Diego from July 25-29. The convention is only days away and I still have so much to do.

Drawn on Canson pastel paper, with General's Pastel chalk pencils.

UPDATE: I do not allow my work to be posted elsewhere (outside of the DA) without permission!

Pastel chalk pencils? Never heard of such.
But to be able to draw him or a person at all realisticly with just colors alone is AMAZING! It's way easier with just normal pencils like B, 2B and all but this... oh my...

Wow Thank you. Pastel pencils are fun to work with that's for sure. You really should try it. There is so muck that can be achieved with them.

AWEsome likeness (and if this fellow is tougher to draw than Hamill, then I'm never trying! lol! )!! I love the dark, "bad boy" mood you have going here--I know he's a heroic character in the series, but this is a great atmosphere: that sort of sideways gaze, the dark clothing, the ominous fiery hands... I love the detailing in this--it's just awesome--and HOW COOL is it (WAS it!) that you were able to display at ComicCon!!? I hope you got lots of professional interest in your work--you certainly deserve it!

You are too sweet, thank you . Actually it was his mouth that gave me a hard time. Like Sylvester Stallone he has a slight pull to his lower lip and I kept wanting to correct it rather than draw what I was looking at. It was very hard to make myself not correct that slight stigma. I did have fun drawing him though and I already have a family portrait of the Petrelli's so to speak in the works.

I got to meet with a lot of people and hopefully good things will come from that. Anybody can display and sell their artwork at ComicCon, you just have to pay for the panel space to hang your art. There was a lot of great art there too. I had a really great time.

Hullo Redelk! I am currently staring at the beautifully done Explosive Peter Petrelli sitting on my desk. I had absolutely no intention of bidding on or buying anything at the Comic Con art show... but of course, Explosive Peter Petrelli came along. I saw this piece, got very excited, successfully resisted bidding initially but gave in the following day! (I'm so glad I did.) It's interesting to hear that his likeness gave you a hard time because you captured Peter Petrelli perfectly. You may see imperfections and could've-done-betters but man, I've been showing the portrait to everyone around me (and er, squealing with glee). It's that good. Hopefully you managed to make it to the Heroes panel. My 2+ hours in line was nowhere near enough to get me in. This portrait is my Comic Con Heroes fix...

SMH-REDELK In reply to burblespork [2007-07-30 19:00:51 +0000 UTC]

WOW Thank you so much . Are you the one that won the final bid on Peter at the artshow? I really wasn't expecting to sell any of my art and I was happily surprised to see that eight of my pieces had bids on them.

Alas I too did not get into the HEROS panel. It was a very poorly planned idea not to clear the rooms after each panel. I heard that people were sitting in hall 20 since the opening of the con on sat just so they wouldn't miss the HEROS panel. I know that many people complained. I and a friend of mine are planning on writing a complaint letter to the convention heads. As a professional I didn't lose out on money but those convention goers that paid to get into the show only to stand in that line for hours that barely move it was a horrible waste of, not only their money, but their time as well.
