Sketchbook Marilyns

So I am working on just…sketching again….without pretension, without worry.  At times, I get so caught up in trying to make the perfect piece, or my anxieties about my skills that I often become just..static.  So I’ve started to keep a sketchbook again, and the crazy thing is, I am sketching..for fun.

Anyway, it’s an easy when to churn out some Marilyn studies, because like I’ve said before…due to the nature of Marilyn’s image saturated in the media..if you are going to make art about her…you better be able to get her feature right…we all know what they look like.

So, some quick studies from this week, playing around with paint markers.
