Marilyn Monroe

I know some of you will say that this sketch does anything, whatsoever, but resembles Marilyn Monroe. And I admit that. The fact is that I made this sketch when I were a bit younger, and was deeply, madly in love with MM. So, this sketch is actually a desperate effort to copy MM's photograph from Life. As a child all I wanted was to know MM, and the only possible way in my eye was to sketch her. Well, I tried! and tried very hard; after spending three hours on it, due to my exhausted state, i forced myself that the sketch was perfect and completely resembles MM, whereas, somewhere in my heart, I knew it was not true. And after much reflection, and out of frustration, I wrote 'Marilyn Monroe' below the sketch.
