Wow...what a gorgeous piece of artwork! At first glance it appears to be a black and white photograph. A fantastic job using pencil to create such a beautiful vision of Marilyn Monroe. The details are great, especially like how lifelike her facial expression is in her eyes and mouth and the way her hand gently rests on her face. The rug did add a good texture. Thank you for sharing your work!

    Thank you for this awesome review. The 6 stars is such an honor.
Comment from allanoak


This is a great job for sure.

The dark muted background provides focus on the subject. The use of light is great in accentuating the subject.

Her face is the center of interest. The seductive eyes and the placement of the hand all adds to her appeal.

Excellent overall job.

Thanks for sharing and always a pleasure to review.

    Well, Allan, the 5 1/2 stars is so wonderful to get, and I thank you for sharing it with me. Your review is very detailed and enlightening. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning! A beautiful capture of the Public Perception of this iconic subject, handled with grace and beauty. As most some of your subjects are captured in their "real person" this succeeds greatly, with the perception and myth aspect with great dignity and beauty. Composition, lighting rendering, all magnificent. Very beautiful and moving work. Thanks

Stunning! I repeat myself over and over again when it comes to your amazing gift and talent Lady Linda.
You draw from your soul, it is a part of you.
Superb work on Marilyn. You captured an innocent and sexy like pose.
Your work is impressive. It is amazing how your drawings look like vintage photographs.
Excellent work!

Comment from ClydeLee


Linda, as always, excellent. In fact we need new adjectives for your work! Shadings and shadows and your dark background is one of your strong suits. The subtle shading on the sheepskin makes it immediately recognizable for what it is.
Every young male was in love with Marilyn. I was no exception. The drawing brings back memories. I can almost hear her sing, "Happy Birthday, Mr. President."

    "Happy Birthday, Mr. President," indeed. God given beauty, with a broken spirit, and a broken heart. If only we could learn from life's lessons. Thank you for your very inspiring review, which, as you know, is very much appreciated. Ego, ah ego, it is a terrible thing, and I have a need to have mine built up. It is the flesh. You have helped my ego today.

    Thank you, Seshadri. I appreciate your compelling review.
Comment from Browncat


Seductive face, lovely hair, inviting eyes, and a very fine portrait overall. The only part of your picture that seems unnatural is from her neck to the gown fabric. Her upper chest doesn't look supple, but more like hard plastic. I like her left hand with the bracelet or watch peeking out. You obviously have serious artistic talent.

    Ah, the suppleness of the breast. The softness, and warmth. I so wish to be able to achieve that feeling. I am so grateful for your review, and for the high rating. It is always good to get honest feedback from reviewers, as it helps us hone the work.

OMG this is so real it's really hard to accept its not a photograph. What a gorgeous drawing of the most beautiful and sexy star there ever has been. Just fabulous Linda. Absolutely amazing

Comment from Raoul D'Harmental


Hi Linda,

Wow this is exquisite and I love the way the skin blends into the soft rug as though she's a human shaped ruffle albeit a very alluring one :) The title is very apt with the suggestive finger to the lip and the corsetted gown. Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece. R
