Description
Here's a lovely pencil rendering of Norma Jeane by James Martin, with a touch of white paint for highlights. He achieved a terrific likeness and mood IMO. Love how he darkened the visible eye and eyebrow to focus the viewer's eye on the center of interest, and the anatomical nuances and folds in the sheets are wonderfully indicated.

Thanks for taking a look!

Exquisite recreation from Marilyn's final photo session with photographer Bert Stern.  Which reminds me, I need to pick up a copy of that book.

As always, Martin uses that bright lihgting to great effect!  A very inviting smile for a lazy Sunday in bed.
