Artist's Comments

I spent about 15 hours on this, and my scanner has decided to destroy it by completely ruining the tones and making it insanely grainy (what a rhyme). So this looks pretty crappy, but it IS better in real life. :shakefist:

Used B, 2B, 4B and 9B pencils
Stump and tissue
Ordinary cartridge paper (not as grainy as the scan looks, grr!)

Anyway, evil scanner aside, I loved drawing this. There's so many great photos of Marilyn that have the perfect tones and contrast to draw. I plan to do more! :)

I feel your pain, my scanner does that to me all the time gggrr! Anyway it's still pretty obvious to see that the portrait is perfect, especially the hair, it looks so soft and the glow of the skin is amazing.

Also these pictures of her you use are they from the internet, and if so what site? I've been really struggling to find good pictures of her.
