This is such clever and talented work. You really captured the likeness of the beautiful Marilyn. I particularly love the detail that you have put into that pretty dress and you got the jewellery and hair spot on too. We are used to seeing Marilyn Monroe art work but rarely have I seen anything as lifelike as this, her features are perfect. Hats off to you. It is excellent. Oh I just saw that you won traditional artwork of the month with this. It is very well deserved!

I am not surprised to see that your drawing was winning this contest. Congratulations Linda ! This is Marilyn just the way most people remember her. So beautiful.

This drawing is of course done paying such a good attention to details, and with a very good use of light. The dark background is perfect.

The format and framing is very good and Marilyn has got a fine placement on the paper. Indeed a well done drawing. Would have given you 6 stars, but have run out.

This AMAZING!!! Every detail is done to perfection. When I first saw this, I thought it was a photo and was ecstatic when I realized it was a drawing. I can't stop looking at it, just incredible! So so talented. I love every bit of this piece, the dark background against bright sepia toned Marilyn, her emotion, her hair, her dress, I can't say enough. Awesome!!!

Hi Linda, You did an awesome job of drawing Marilyn! One doesn't have any trouble recognizing your image as Marilyn. Love the detail and grace you gave her. This truly looks mote like a photograph than a drawing. This is a beautiful portrait of her. I wish I had a six for you! Good Luck in the traditional art work of the month contest! Definitely a contender! :o) Nancy

Yes, she is beautiful, but her life was sad in many ways. She lived in one foster home after another and was exploited by several men, so your honor to her beauty is so appreciated. Your background is excellent, as is the whole drawing; outstanding work and the intricate detail in the dress is also well done.

A great piece of work.
I find it stunning that this is done with a pencil and the amount of time it must have taken. It is well done. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful drawing and such exceptional presentation.
Monroe is ready to get out of the picture - how real she looks. The translucent skin and all the details are so beautiful. Excellent presentation Linda and thank you for sharing it.
