Marilyn Monroe Monday Morning
By
Marilyn Monroe Monday Morning - This piece is another one that I did on a bar stool, this was a bar stool, that my dear husband found whilst dumpster diving.
The treasures that are thrown out in the Village he works for are priceless.
I used a soft HB woodless graphite pencil to draw Marilyn in two of her famous poses. I can say with certainty, I am not crazy about the bottom of the drawing, I did not feel I captured the softness of her curves.
Curves that were mind you a size 14, in todays standards that would be considered a XL or even heavy. Stunning in her classy dresses, and her quite nature.
“Some Like it Hot” classic, with her wit and charm, along with sex appeal. Marilyn was a stunning woman, and had such grace.

Awesome sketch of a lady that is embedded in many minds. She was with some great figures such as Joe D, Frank Sinatra and more. Great picture, love it!

I loved her in that dress! She definitely had alluring curves. Your colors are soft and inviting, just like Marilyn.
