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.
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!
this is very nice!!! great likeness and feeling in it! i hear ya about evil scanner... i took a pic of my latest and it just doesnt measure up... dont know why that is...

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.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Merry Christmas to you out there but don't forget: we are only guests here and so...listen to my favourite words... and look at all these wonderful pieces of art
