Tough subject. The tilt of the chin, and the characteristic angle of gaze define Marilyn, and yet I think your treatment shows a bit more of Norma Jean, the light is shining bright all around her, like the spotlights she lived under, while there is a dullness in her eyes, marking the sultry pose as all for show. I still like the Candle in the Wind song for her, by Elton.
Thieving in this case could be taken as a compliment? Sounds like prints would go down well!
Beautiful sketching 🙂
Thankyou!
Welcome 🙂
I like this drawing
Wow Jim.
This is so beautiful.
You captured the essence of her in this ‘sketch’.
Thanks Jennifer! I haven’t mentioned that several of the drawings were stolen?
Fantastic!
Thank you so much Kaz. 😉
superb!
Thanks Sue. And welcome back from your school launch weekend!
Thank you! It was incredible 🙂
