Your Marilyn is sultry, fragile, alluring with many kinds of passion vying to be let out.
A beautiful rendition of a classic beauty.
In this art work I see great pains taken to get the eyes and nose just right.
Her facial expression and head position projects that look of desire mixed with innocence she made famous.
Graphite pencil is a wonderful medium and your talent brings out the best it has to offer.
This is a top notch contender in this contest good luck ... B-)) Bob

The detail is wonderful in the eyebrows and hair.
Very nicely done.

Oh Wow! I seriously thought this was a black and white photograph from some Marilyn Monroe museum. GREAT JOB! This is the best graphite artwork I've ever seen. Good luck in the contest!

Oh Wow Miranda. What a fantastic review. Thank you.
Comment from Linda Wetzel
This is beautifully rendered. The graphite creates a vintage feel so appropriate for the time she lived. You have created beautiful platinum hair. The light and shadows on her skin are superb. I especially like the skin folds of her neck.

This graphite pencil drawing is stunning. Your use of shading is excellent and your dark smooth background is impressive. I particularly like the eyes, very expressive and realistic. Beautiful work, great choice for the contest!

Comment from avmurray
I have a pretty good idea about who is behind this portrait, because you are the best here on FAR using your graphites. This is Marilyn like most people remember her, and I especially like how well you have used lights and shadows, and also the neutral background.
As always this is done paying such good attentions to details, and with a steady hand.
The format and the framing is perfect and Marilyn has got a very good placement on the paper. Truly beautiful and well done, and I wish you luck with the contest.
