Marilyn Monroe Speed Painting by Dave Larks

This painting of Marilyn Monroe took around 5 hours to create...I used a famous photo for reference and very light quick trace to put everything in the right place.

painted in photoshop on a Wacom cintiq, edited in after effects
music added in youtube with audioswap

Very nice, Dave! I think I like it better in black and white, but still, that's amazing!

looks great Dave ... the colors at the end came as a surprise though

why did you make her purple ?

[standingman]

@WilliamsShamir hi Willy..loved her as black and white but then was influenced by my memory of the famous Andy Warhol prints so I tried the pop art colors only to decide that it felt too 1960's, so updated to yellow hair to platinum and there it is... I still have the black and white as the color was added in adjustment layer... stay well,keep making art, my reason for living.
