Artist's Comments

Sorry for not having submitted other stages of this portrait but I've been really busy and didn't have time to stop and scan it during the last part of the process.
So, here she is: Marilyn Monroe!

I've seen many people here chosen her as a model for a portrait, it wasn't my intention to go with the wave but I had to choose two portraits for a small exhibition in town and I knew that my style has changed a bit after Mariah Carey's portrait so I wanted to show something new and I decided to draw a well known and loved face. So, Mariah and Marilyn will take part of the exhibition! :excited:

The exhibition starts today and it will last 2 weeks. I finished to draw Marilyn at 2.45 a.m.
I was exhausted so, if you see something "wrong" please be kind ^^;

Available "download" for full size (slightly bigger).
