Marilyn Monroe


Portrait #8

      I like to draw women with glamour, and Marilyn Monroe was one of the most celebrated figures in 19th-cemtury American cinema. She has such an iconic look, like her sleepy-looking eyes and thin, arched brows (not to mention the infamous beauty mark). As always, the nose was a struggle. Her eyes were challenging as well, but I think they turned out okay in the end (the emphasis in the crevices of her eyelids paid off). I always find it the hardest to proportion the facial features out evenly, but I'm glad that my portrait is recognizable as Marilyn at least.
