Marilyn Incarnate
Marilyn Incarnate by @Hippy_of_Doom (Sabrina A Thomas)

Drew this because of the Japanese print on the cloth (you can fit Marilyn in any subject!). The photograph was taken by Cecil Beaton, and its one of my most favourite photographs. It was taken in a really soft focus, so I used only tortillion to blend to make it nice and fuzzy. I'm particularly pleased with the hands and transparency of the cloth on her left. Does the Japanese woman look like a drawing of a painting? If that makes sense.

Oh and the title came from the fact she's holding a carnation... and I stick to realism... so it seemed logical to me.
