Marilyn Monroe was on my drawing board 9-13-05 through 10-7-05. This one was done for fun, I'm a big fan of MM and have drawn a few of her over the years. Size is 19 x 24 inches, Vellum Bristol, I used 2b mech, black ebony pencils, tissue and blending sticks. The reference photo is by Laszlo Willinger and owned by Edward Weston . This portrait is for sale, please contact me for details.
