Success!! You have captured the pure essence and softness of her face, it is as if she posed for you in this painting, your talent is obvious! This should be displayed proudly and publicly!! Thanks for sharing! I would love to see a pop of red on her lips in a future post maybe, hmmmmm. Donna

Cyber 6 Linda such beauty and feeling in this drawing, you have defiantly captured this beautifully sad woman. Love the poutyness of her lips and sad eyes. Skin tone and shading so lifelike her hair so highlighted and wispy. Her top with its ridges so real. Its so perfect your piece. Excellent job.

Fantastic drawing of Marilyn Monroe. She was such a beautiful woman. Excellent interplay of light and shadow. Lovely facial expression. Nicely framed with great visual impact. Very well done. ~Alveria
