Pensive Marilyn
I have a great fascination for the late Marilyn, and love to see shots of her at the most candid, such as what you see here. Though she battled with depression her whole life, she always seemed to glow physically. And anyone who says she was just a pretty face has never seen her act or heard her voice. She wasn't the best at either acting or singing, but she was a superstar the likes of which we haven't seen since.
Done on Bristol smooth 300 series paper, 19 " x 24". Used all pencils up to 6H and (obviously) wore out a few 7Bs. This is a photograph of the drawing. (The thickness of the 7B doesn't make for good scanning.)
I love this one---it looks like a STATUE of her face, mostly from her hair, but it's a really cool effect. And, most importantly, it LOOKS like MM.

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
