Thank you.
I have a few other drawings of Marilyn with cats in my gallery. In one, she is with a panther, and in another drawing, she is with two tigers.

Thank you.
Illustrator, which is what I used to draw this, has a built-in leopard spot pattern.
I almost used that pattern on the leopards and Marilyn's swim suit, but I decided to hand-draw each spot with the pen tool.
By the time I was done, I was seeing spots even when my computer was off

I know that feeling. I had to draw a pinstripe suit once, and it killed my eyes.

Oh yes, stuff like that can be hard, time consuming and tedious after awhile!
I did a pencil drawing of Marilyn a few months ago (it's in my MM gallery here on dA) and she's wearing a black and white striped pantsuit. At first, drawing the black stripes wasn't so bad, but mid way, I wanted to cry. I can laugh about it now, though.
