We love to go back and find some of the most iconic woman of all time wearing pearls!<\/span><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s feature is a movie legend.<\/p>\n

Ruth Elizabeth, better known as “Bette” Davis, was a woman known for her eyes and unsympathetic acting roles.<\/p>\n

Known for her iconic roles like Now, Voyager (1942)<\/i>, she was an actress that was a house-hold name.<\/p>\n

We really love this image because it is actually a life-like professional drawing of the famous star by artist, Melissa (casparofambrose), who only used 2 pencils, 6B-8B pencils, a white vinyl eraser, Q-tips, and Kleenex. Isn\u2019t this amazing!<\/p>\n

We love this drawing of Ms. Davis because it captures her thoughtful and classic style. You can most often find that her style is very modest. We believe her pearl necklace<\/a> is very fitting to her and it really brings the image together.<\/p>\n

Melissa wrote on the caption of the image:<\/p>\n

\u201cBette Davis is my favorite actress and when I saw the reference for this I had to try it. I love that she\u2019s looking away yet her eyes are still so gripping as if she were staring straight into the camera. Also, I like that you can see the natural shape of her lips, which was usually obscured by the way she wore her lipstick. I spent forever working on this, but I so enjoyed taking my time with it. [This is my] first time doing pearls \u2013 I think they look more like pebbles, but it\u2019s not horrible. Oddly, this is also the first time in ages that I can recall doing light hair, which is so much more complicated than dark hair!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

What do you think? Do you like the drawing? Comment below with your thoughts!<\/p>\n
