📍Vision - Overall you perfectly accomplished what you set out to create. It's spot on for Marylin Monroe and there's no reason to doubt that's the target of your piece.
📍Originality - While some may argue a portrait of Maryland Monroe is not original, I completely disagree. So what if because she's been a popular model, a lot of people do her portrait. However, your techniques and style in the way you create your artwork makes it original.

📍Technique - To be honest I just started messing around with digital art and definitely could not get anywhere close to how well you've done. If you had not mentioned how this was created it could very well pass as a pen drawing. You managed to get everything to have smooth transitions.

📍Impact - Considering this is Marlin it does pack a punch when viewed due to her beauty. Especially when it is portrayed as realistically as you have.

Overall great work. If I was to make any changes I would suggest thinning out the eyebrows and eyelashes just a little. That way it's not overbearing and draws attention away from the rest of this beautiful piece.
