Person of Interest: Elias and Scarface At Sun Up

Description

Right from his very first appearance on Person of Interest Elias has been one of (if not my favourite) characters on the show. I've never been someone who was fond of the stereotypical villain, so the way Enrico Colantoni portrays the notorious Elias as a gentle, unassuming, mild-mannered and very likeable middle-aged-man, really appeals to me. That, tied in with his tragic back story, his cunning, intelligence and his complex, friend-or-foe relationship with the main characters remains to be my favourite aspect of the whole series. Additionally, I see his relationship with Scarface as being very similar to Reese and Finch's. It's just the darker side of the same coin. There's a great deal of loyalty and dependency there that I find really quite moving. I chose to change the background from the dark and dingy warehouse because, when I thought of these two, I always considered the way they greeted one another so warmly by the riverside as being the most significant and memorable moment of theirs.

Year: 2014
Materials: Graphite pencils 4h-8b, blending sticks, tissue paper, putty eraser.
Time: I started the outline over a year ago, shortly after I drew Reese and Finch, but I thought I'd buggered up the proportions on Scarface's eyes and lips so I didn't go any further. Something in me wouldn't scrap it, though, and I soldiered on eventually. From there, I'd say somewhere between 12 - 15 hours work.
