[flavarist]

stephanie can u give me a tip.ok my question is,do u smuge then blur or blur then smuge to gave a well blended effect ?

[StephanieValentin]

@flavarist I prefer to blur before smudge, because smudging is more for details ;-) I explain all the tools I use in my tutorials.

[harmony19490]

how talented you are ... envious lol ! ^^

[jayarprado07]

I saw this and I was like OMG, you're a super great digital artist! I wish I can someday be like you. xD

[PolkaDotHearttt]

I have a wacom intuos 4 and I love it but I'm no where near this good. I'm still in school and I would love to have a job to do with digital painting or photo retouching or something along those lines when I'm older I was just wondering where on earth you were taught to be that good.

[BrondbyIsMyLife]

You Cheated :( That Ain't A Painting :)

[StephanieValentin]

@BrondbyIsMyLife Then I'm very curious to know what is it lol

[MrCoolyboy111]

@StephanieValentin have u ever thought of designing a game :O imagine it with your graphics rofl

[StephanieValentin]

@MrCoolyboy111 I've worked during 10 years for children games and now I've designed a free online game : doll and the city ;-)

[pepeltoro444]

@StephanieValentin haha, gotta love haters! but seriously, where did the hair come from, it just popped up too fast and didnt see the creation/overlay ??is that a fro-brush? share!! :D

Ou quelqu'un que tu aimes vraiment beaucoup... Merci infiniement à toi et à Andrew pour ces frissons... J'ai envie d'appeler la musique "rêve d'ange".

[SkyBlue4bluesky]

[Vendetta570]

Joli travail, bien que je n'aime pas beaucoup le dessin au final, je le trouve un peu trop lisse, limite un peu plat. Bonne continuation.

[Lost4rt]

Je trouve que le dessin et trop bien fait.

Il a un visage trop lisse, mais bon. 5/5*

[StephanieValentin]

Merci, le lissage c'est un peu exprès, je voulais un effet aérographe ;-)

[shaylen]

[Lightning741]

Another amazing masterpiece there! Love it! Is that one at the end a self-portrait of you, the one after your amazing painting?

[cesy8791]

omg...it is awesome..u are really good at it..i love it

[MoonmothMedia]

Amazing! Awe-inspiring! I just can't get over the...skills! Oh and i think people should stop laughing at the guy's hair - everyone's different, doesn't mean they're odd. I think it's cool personally. I couldn't make my hair be an afro however much I tried!

[Avatarrox123]

That's so amazing!!!!

[ImStillLooking4ya1]

hello my dear stephanie...

i think you should do a digital paintin of taylor lautner. that would be legit <3

[joeyviolet]

[kuurie]

[VIDgamefreak99]

[urzokmx]

[StephanieValentin]

Thanks, Adobe Photoshop CS4

[EmberflyLayouts]

[wilkamadox]

[Sayurichan16]

[AnotherVoiceTV]

@Sayurichan LOL, yes that is my real fro but sadly I no longer have that much hair. I should have kept it for the winter, I'd be nice and warm...lol

[AnotherVoiceTV]

@LaChaquetaMetalica I know, I know. Everyone always cracks jokes on my 70's hairstyle. It's genetic. LOL But sadly it's a WHOLE LOT shorter now. Congrats to Stephanie for taking on the challenge of drawing that huge fro!

[NikiPaprika]

I get shivvers down my spine everytime I see you create something like this <333

Absolutely wonderful <3

Grats to the guy who won! :3

[AnotherVoiceTV]

@NikiPaprika Thanks so much! She's Brilliant isn't she?

[Sayurichan16]

lol dude, you fro is awesome tho even tho its a bit weird-ish but dats ok

[MoonmothMedia]

I so know what you mean about shivers down the spine! I think I've been trying to find a way to express it - and I think that's probably the best way.

[goranification]

[soulyjay03]

[DCfan4life]

This is Incredible! You did such an outstanding job on Andrew. Wow. And the watching the process and steps you took to create this portrait was so amazing.

-Brucee

[troglodyte3344]

wow, but when you say self taught, how many years of practice to get to your standards?

[swemach1]

It's amazing to see the way you work with colours. You are really a great artist.

[iabubabu]

verry nice!

i really like it

[Thearsenalkid]

awesome! i supose once you make your own designs and add them to favs. then i supose it's easy... i can make shadowy sort painting and i've made a metal effect style! :)

[mnyvld]

What do you use to smudge the shadows/harsh lines? Is a modified smudge brush or something else?

Do you paint at the begginig with a harder brush or is it just me?

[StephanieValentin]

You can find tutorials on my website, I explain all my method. I'm self taughed, then I don't know if it is the good one ;-)

[Tassycrafty]

You are amazing Stephanie! Im speechless everytime i watch your video and everytime I see your new video, I always watch yours first...so you are my number one inspiration even though I do not know how to do this type of art work:)

[StephanieValentin]

Thank you very much Tassycrafty ;-)

[ArtistNR]

He is too much phographic in my opinion.

[blake1405]

Wow, I thought it was a legitimate photo with fake hair, if the hair was a tiny bit more realistic I would have 100% believed it was a picture.

You are incredible Mrs. Velentin

[Sareeneea]

this is great!!

if we have entered a previous contest, do we have to go back and like re enter again?

[StephanieValentin]

Thanks ! Yes you have to reenter ;-)

[LyssiLady]
