Super great image and great entry for the open challenge. The tones that you have created in this artwork are superb. Nice proportions in the facial features. Love the eyes and the lips. What else is there to say....this is a GREAT image.

A very fine drawing of Marilyn in her iconic "come hither" pose. I like the composition and the fine shading on her skin. Best of luck in the contest.

This is among the best portraits I've seen of the late Marilyn Monroe. I am especially drawn to your skillful media technique, strong lighting and shadow, and; indeed, the extraordinary likeness of her and her glamorous characterization. Very well done and thank you for sharing.

    Thank you Galia. She was gushing womanliness. That was her appeal.
Comment from emereaux


A beautiful rendition of an American Icon! I love your medium - which you have clearly mastered! You have used the darkest darks and the lightest lights masterfully, to give Marilyn the softness, beauty and vulnerability that continue to be her most memorable traits almost 60 years after her passing. Wishing you the best in the contest!
