Have yet to watch the show but do know the actor from his time on Lost. So can easily say you managed to nail the likeness perfectly...as always.

Thanks Lior ;D
I always appreciate your comments and feedback.
This is a rare drawing for , being that I havent watched this show either (I always assumed that it was a TV rip off of Twilight) . usually when I do a character portrait I try to familiarize myself with the show/character and or actor as it helps me to capture the character's essence. in this instance having never seen an episode of the Vampire Diaries I only have the reference photos of Ian Somerhalder to work from, so it is good and reassuring to know that I got the likeness down ok ;D
