Caricatures continued

Way back in 2007 (my last year of college) I started a series of caricatures. It was something I found I really enjoyed painting. I combined my passion for painting with my love for older movies. I started off doing these two paintings
Scarlet O'Hara in her red dress from Gone With The Wind

Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast At Tiffany's


So to continue my adventures in caricatures I decided to go with the classic Marilyn Monroe. Here's what i've done so far.

I'm no where near done yet but its coming along. I'm happy that i see improvements in this painting compared to scarlet and audrey from 2007.

As per usual if you see anything you think could be made better..etc..etc i'm always up for a good crit. Keep in mind though the bottom half is very, VERY sketch - i'm correcting it as i go along and her upper arm is going to be caked in jewels (along with her neck)
