Beautiful! Β How did you determine the color of her eyes? Β One of my all time favorites!!

Everyone knows that Greta Garbo had blue eyes, but blue eyes are quite common. So I figured what's the point of being an artist if you can't change things up to fit your own perception. So I chose to make them green because that color is less common AND it suits her just as well in my opinion.

Greta Garbo had natural bright beautiful blue eyes, not green. Anybody who knows anything of Greta Garbo would know this.

One of the most beautiful women to have ever walked the silver screen. Absolute justice was done here. Thank you for showing us this.

She's one of my favorites actresses. She's so beautiful and mysterious and I love that about her. Such a beautiful picture to capture it.

It's absolutely stunning. Although she did have a pair of beautiful blue eyes, green fits her very well. ;>
Beautiful work.

I'm honored, Hera. Thank you so much. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to complete this series yet, but the exposure for Garbo is much appreciated, my friend. How have you been, btw?

that is just trully amazing. sometimes when i see great art like this, it makes me doubt my own art talent. ive done some pretty incredible pieces before but im mainly just into drawing anime. and now that im perfecting my skill with coloring with a computer program i dont even think about traditional work anymore. but doing pieces like this takes alot of time and effort. and some people wonder how we artists even have the patience to do great things like this.

but then i realize, if its something you love and are trully inspired to do, it doesnt matter how long it takes honestly.

but yeah anyway, trully wonderful piece.

Amazing work for sure... I thought she had blonde hair.......I could be wrong or maybe she was a bleach blonde........

Thanks. Yep, she bleached her hair. Her original color was a dark brown, but she sported jet black, sandy blonde, and golden red throughout her lifetime.
