Description
Keep in mind that I doodled this while I was reading the [i]Let the right one in[/i] novel and had yet to see the movie, so I didn't go for a specific likeness with the actress who plays Eli... who was a VERY good casting choice anyway (seriously, practically the whole cast was). I just loved the whole Rubik's cube thing anyway. Perhaps because I had a Rubik's cube in the 80's, too :-DWatercolor and biro pen on moleskine.

Thank you! I'll never stop endorsing this book, it's one of the best I've read lately, so I'm always glad to know others are reading it!

Now four days after seeing the film and I'm still obsessed with 'Let the Right One In'. During my obsessive research I found a little tidbit from the author, John Ajvide Lindqvist. He plans on revisiting the characters of Eli and Oskar in an epilogue that will be included in a collection of his short stories. Probably be released in 2010, around the time of the American remake. Just thought I'd let you know, plus the countless others that will make their way here. All my best.

I have read the book and I think it's brilliant! John Ajvide Lindqvist is probably swedens best horror-writer I like the way he shows us that humans can be more monstrous than the "true monsters", thinking of the guys who bully Oskar... The movie was good too, they had taken away most of the worst parts from the book, and put the focus Eli and Oskar's relationship...
This painting is great, I think you have captured the character in a very nice way!

Thank you! (and yay someone who read the book!) Honestly I liked the subplots that didn't make it to the film, but I also can see why the director cut them. I think that in a novel you can digress more, while some parts that I loved in book form (i.e. Eli's flashbacks) would have looked cheesy on film.
Glad you liked the sketch!

Yes, I agree with you!
Something else that I have realized is that people who have read the book seems to like the movie more then those who havn't, probably because you have the rest of the story, the missing subplots, as well. I went to the cinema together with my sister and a friend, and I was the only one who liked the movie (I was also the only one who had read the book)even though we normally have the same taste is movies
