Okay, so I don't really think I'm cool enough to call my groups of drawings "series", but I couldn't think of another name.

Talk about winging it! Peeta's family literally has next to no real descriptive mention. He has a dad, a mom and two older brothers.

His dad was described as tall, and he seemed very stoic and quiet. Like he knew that things were wrong in his family, but he couldn't do or say anything about it. So, I tried to draw him like that.

One of his two older brothers (that I always forget that he had) is the only ones who could beat him in wrestling. That made me think, one, they're obviously bigger than him, and two, they might pick on him.

Then, there's Mrs. Mellark. If there is one character in the series that I really don't like, it's her. She was verbally, emotionally and physically abusive to Peeta (at least). That's where poor Peeta got his black eye from in this picture. And, he still has to put on a smile and act like everything is okay.

I don't know why I drew her heavy-set. I just pictured her like that *shrug*
