"It's all make believe, isn't it?"

Yes, this is the legendary Marilyn Monroe. I've always been fascinated with her from a young age. She's a gorgeous woman, and her legacy will definately be remembered forever. I've always wanted to draw her, but haven't had to courage to do so, until now. I am pretty happy with the outcome considering this is my first attempt at drawing her. I thought her hair would be more challenging, but it wasn't that hard, a little intimidating at first, but I think I did an okay job!

"She had a luminous quality -- a combination of wistfulness, radiance, yearning, that set her apart and yet made everyone wish to be part of it, to share in the childlike naïvete which was at once so shy and yet so vibrant."

Time: 15-20 hours
Materials Used: Charcoal and Graphite
