Description
Marilyn with Sweater, graphite pencil on paper, 11 x 14 inches.I always loved the photo that this drawing was based on. Β In the photograph, her black sweater is a flat black plain without detail or depth. Β A nice contrast with her other features when on film, but I figured I would need to attempt more detail for the pencil rendering. But I hate making stuff up, especially on such a detailed portrait. Β In the end, I decided that a value fadeout was a nice way to shout "this is a drawing"!

Love thus drawing.
You've captured her normal, ordinary human side - away from the glamour - but also her beauty.
I would almost go so far as to say that I prefer how she looks here than in most of the more typical images of her.
Great work!
