Here is an in progress look at my latest drawing This drawing features portraits of Stephen Moyer as the Vampire Bill Compton and Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse from the HBO series "True Blood" I wanted to capture the feeling from the moment in the show when Bill declares "Sookie is Mine" I am still undecided if I am going to include other cast members yet or if I will let the drawing just be a portrait of Bill and Sookie. Size 11" x ? under drawing drawn with no2 graphite pencil with white prismacolor pencil highlights on Strathmore colored paper True Blood and all related characters and properties are copyrighted by HBO and their related subsidiaries Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton were created by Charlaine Harris as always I appreciate constructive comments and feedback so please let me know what you think. This original drawing will be available for sale when finished...if interested PM me ;D

Looking great so far, Scotty. Bill's likeness is a bit better than Sookie's but I'd wait judging until the final scan. Way to go! ;D

Not seen the show, but I know the actors. Looks great, agreed with Lior, Sookie is lacking in some similarity to Anna, but it could be just the highlights. The detail is fantastic on both. As to whether you extend this piece, what does your gut tell you? It looks a fairly dramatic piece with just the two of them.

Thanks Lior and Vicks, I really appreciate the feedback ;D Here is an update for the True Blood "Bill and Sookie" drawing. Here I have focused my attentions on the portrait of Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) after some thoughtful contemplation and various preliminary thumbnails I decided that the drawing was fine in itself. so I decided not to include any more cast members (That will be another drawing)...I wanted this drawing to focus solely on Bill and Sookie. The next step will be to focus my attentions to the portrait of Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer). then I will add some fine touches of detail that will bring both parts of the drawing together I have decided that when finished the title for this drawing will be... "Sookie is Mine" drawn with No2 graphite pencil, prismacolor colored pencils with white acrylic highlights on Strathmore colored paper True Blood and all related characters and properties are copyrighted by HBO and their related subsidiariesSookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton were created by Charlaine Harris as always I appreciate constructive comments and feedback so please let me know what you think

A wise decision I think Scotty. Bill and Sookie alone carry this piece very well. I love the detail on Sookie's dress. Great job!

Looking great so far, Scotty. Sookie's likeness is definitely improved - perhaps not as spot on as Bill but still very well drawn and I cannot wait to see the entire drawing complete.

Thanks for all the feedback. Lior and Vicks; I always appreciate your comments and honest feedback In the series Sookie Stackhouse wears very little makeup, for this promo photo the photographer amped up her eye shadow and lipstick so that may be what is throwing her likeness off Here is the promo photo (I did lighten it up a bit for the drawing) Here is the finished drawing The Official title is True Blood "Sookie is Mine" as always I appreciate constructive comments and feedback so please let me know what you think ;D True Blood and all related characters and properties are copyrighted by HBO and their related subsidiaries
Bill Compton and Sookie Stackhouse were created by Charlaine HarrisIf interested The original drawing is available for purchase also as with most of my drawings, Prints are availble...PM me for details

My life! Now we have the promo pic for comparison, wow! An awesome piece. Scotty, making this as Bill and Sookie alone was a good way to go. Bill looks predatory which is fitting for this piece.

Wow, I agree completely with Vicks, seeing your reference picture the likeness of your drawing is excellent...its the picture itself that made Anna Paquin look so different. As for Bill, he turned out great as well as the whole layout now that you added colors. Absolutely brilliant work, Scotty.
