HALLE BERRY : Speed painting by Stephanie Valentin

[MusicMimes]

You are absolutely amazing! I wish i had your talent when it comes to digital art! I'm not horrible i suppose, but no where near as good as you! If you have any more tips on making digital art more realistic, please share it to my inbox! Thank you dear!

[StephanieValentin]

@MusicMimes Thanks a lot, you can find a tutorials playlist on my channel. You can also find other tutorials on my website and a forum where I try to help people with Photoshop ;-)

[Kaylastrawhand1]

1 word, AMAZING!

[bonita2311]

this is the most amazing you tube video i have ever seen

[gandabacha777]

i have no words for you Stephanie Valentin GOD BLESS YOU

[steves392]

its cool.



[hastantyo]

OMG, you're perfect playing with gradient colors. I mean, the mixed colors are great. Just keep up the good works ya! Well done! :D

[manganikk]

@StephanieValentin thank you very much!

[manganikk]

This made me look like this :OOO

Can i know what you're bluring technique is? I mean maybe it is just use the blur properly but what "properly" is? Thank you very much and compliments!

[StephanieValentin]

@manganikk Thanks ! It depends, sometimes I use gaussian blur and sometimes for details I prefer use Smudge tool. You can lock the layer, if you want to blur the skin layer but not the edges ;-)

[StephanieValentin]

@manganikk You can also make selection and feather it before blur.

[MilkissButterfly]

Eres genial :)

[Cin7hia]

sos muy impresionante!!! que gran talento!!!

[0nowztar]

OMG such a talent such a beautiful realistic painting.. great work

[StrokeWizard]

I personally think this is your best piece out of all of your artwork. Your process and technique with this piece is simply amazing. The way you caught the texture of her skin is magnificent. Gosh, this is so breathe taking watching this, I have to do something like this after watching. One again Great Job!!!!!!!

[zzzave]

That was amazing to say the least. Where did you learn that!!

[sonny6ko]

What music is playing here?

[lavigneboys]

WTFFFFF? HOW DID YOU DO THAT????

[SUGERCANDY3]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT :D wish i had ur talent

[romuald42300]

subjugué par le résulta sa semble si simple 

[ReNa14100]

how do you take away the white lines?:D

'cause it's anbelievable :o :D I love your work!

[Vampyrisk]

amazing technique

[redrza]

this is an amazing work of art! i love your use of light and shadow. I just have one question for this one, if you look at the space left by her crossing arms, her right breast sort of looks..i dont know, missing a nipple? either that, or the curvature of the breast is what i cant see. im pretty sure im mistaken or something, could you explain?

[StephanieValentin]

@redrza Thanks ! No, there is no mistake, if you try, you will see it looks like that, and it was like that on the reference picture ! I know it is quite strange lol

[redrza]

@StephanieValentin Yeah you're right :) i think i generalized her breasts with that of what i was thinking xD Great work once again :)

[MrsILOVEMusic8706]

@StephanieValentin Well there's absolutely no flaw in this painting. It's amazing:)

[bentotastic]

You're incredibly talented and gifted. That was amazing to watch.

[Emrylle]

How many layers did this take? >_<

[LILTINK567]

wuld u ever do a digital painting fo a youtuber lol im jst wondering

[BenniRocco36]

who is this supposed to be? it looks alien!

[lrue123]

If you watch everything at once it looks like the painting is coming to life under your eyes... bravo.

[d1v4dPwnz]

How do you learn how to speed paint? I wanna start

[alyc0uture]

@d1v4dPwnz It isn't necessarily speed painting. It's just a video sped up from when they started to when they finished. In reality, a lot of those drawings take hours or even days to complete.

[penguinshin]

@alyc0uture yea, but it makes the final product even more special.

[AsianBaby1290]

O.o she looks real!

[AndyvanKayne]

Now holy shit! ^^ very very nice.

[Shallowbeliever320]

10 people are blind 

[LadyOfMyth]

Beautiful. I am amazed at her skin, I don't see many paintings where ethnic skin is done so well and glows. Bravo!

[Htown75]

WOW!

[D2K4FUN]

Phonominal

[MrsLilySnape1]

wow!!!

[FloraisonBeaute]

It's hard for me to understand that your paintings aren't photographs

[11devon11]

your ability to create the likeness of the models you paint is sick im am jealous

[CorriTimigan]

Dear Stephanie Valentin,

Due to your uncanny ability to make people envious and depressed, I'm going to go ahead and hate your talented arse for the rest of existence.

Nothing personal!

Regards

Corri Timigan

[oddy1411]

once again, paint her naked next time.

[Ennyl13]

Thats brilliant! Can someone explain to me how this is actually done? I don't know anything about computer drawing, is it genuinely done freehand? It's totally amazing how life-like they are!

[HolaImSkiitzy]

jgfvjygiugliuglig

sorry, wiping the jizz from my keyboard.

[Lilalaunemary]

Wow, that's absolutely amazing! :)

[AGAznB]

It's cool that you do a lot of celebrities. Is there anywhere can I find paintings you've done from memory?

[LLDthelightinmusic]

hte name of the song?

[LifeIsLikeThat88]

@LLDthelightinmusic its Stephanie's own composition.

[TokyoCandyLollita]

Wow, that was like, seriously amazing. I can't do that good of a job even if I had a picture right there to look at and spent 3 hours working on it. Woooooooooow, that's just like, insane skill.

[Mekinga]

I have two questions:

1. Do you use references?

2. Are you this good at hand-drawing (traditional art) as well?

[MissContraryMary]

Your best one yet, in my opinion. ^_^

[Robog8er]

@StephanieValentin Could you pleeease do some artwort for us on ww.Scriddy.com ? We would be very happy and honored if you did!

[missyblue5292]

omg this is CRAZY.

[TheRetardedRaptor]

Im so glad I married halle xD shes the best thing that could have happened to me

[hiyamariah]

for each color you use, do you use different layers, then to blend you blur them?

[rayleeaustralia]

I'd like to order one in life size

[ChellieZombiie]

my goodness, this looks like a photograph!

[lordofkronos]

put "digital art" as a tag

[StephanieValentin]

@lordofkronos You're right, thanks ;-)

[Robog8er]

@StephanieValentin Could you pleeease do some artwort for us on Scriddy com ? We would be very happy and honored if you did!

[TheFaithEdge]

unbelieveable <3

[brendanklass]

PLEASE do the Joker from The Dark Knight!

[JessSarahca]

I've taken 7 years of classes but I'm still not as quite as good as you

[KingRayUK]

@JessSarahca

improving at art is one of those things where you discover the concepts of light an shadow with respect to shapes and texture through your own intuition.. keep practicing and slowly you just become better.. i wasnt very good.. but i learnt myself..

[SaturdayPanic]

this is purely amazing. You have such an amazing talent! I wish you all the best. :)

-Carlee

[MissMurder1243]

do you use any brushes to create eye lashes or hair strands or do you just draw it all your self ?

[StephanieValentin]

@MissMurder1243 I just use the basic soft round brush. I made some tutorials about eyelashes and hair if it could help you ;-)

[QuesoCheesey]

what is the tool you use on the skin at 3:50?

[85zsam85]

wow

[mketsueki]

now do it with a brush and canvas

[percaptor]

@mketsueki it was done on photoshop, cs2 I think

[cool1o1o1]

@mketsueki Stephanie can paint not only in photo shop, but also with a canvas ;o

[mketsueki]

@cool1o1o1

thats what i like to hear :)

[StephanieValentin]

@cool1o1o1 Yes, I do oil paintings (they are on my website)

[MsShitHappens]

I admire you. But how do you find free time to make these amazing drawings? How long does it take you to make one?

[FPSQuek]

You are awesome! Amazing stuff. The people who dislike this are mentally defective.

[MGrim88]

@FPSQuek Having a different opinion automatically makes people retarded? Brilliant!

[strangerdan612]

Hey Steph I've been admiring your videos for a long time now and I've wanted to know if you have any post-secondary education/training in painting?

[StephanieValentin]

@strangerdan612 Thanks, no I'm self taught for painting ;-)

[RaizenDS]

@StephanieValentin

YOUR SELF TAUGHT!!????? DAMN I still say you had the best teacher from what I can see. So Kudos to yourself :P

[c3poboe]

This is amazing!! Her work is soo good!

[StardollCheater]

this is amazing, but I need help: I lost the layer side bar thing. you know, the list with all the layers on the right, I just somehow closed it and I can't find it! Help!

[noRockstar77]

this is just .. I can'T find the right words... wooow...

[standingman]

magnifico!

[isaiahezekiel25]

this particular song is not on itunes

[MsMakkapakka]

amazing!!!

[milleon83]

your work is phenomenal! Kudos! Im still learning how to use photoshop. Are your shadows and blurs all on different layers?

[StephanieValentin]

@milleon83 Thanks ! To start, I used 1 color per layer.

[westlifelover92]

you are absolutely amazing. :D

[Mangosrllysuck]

my goodness....speechless

[SleeplessNovember]

[bharatkumargupta]

[dancedanceeyeah]

[mmmCockimmm]

[15Protech]

Wow the way you shade this is just incredible, layer by layer perfectly realistic on first touch, like you see the 3D model in the black canvis

[Aluhrain]

[sweetlady0092]

Non mais c'est de la magie lol :p

T'as fait ça avec PS ??????

Chapeau ma belle ^_^

[ismjus]

amazing

[Vexed34]

That is amazing! I remember my high school art teacher telling me that one day people would be painting entirely with software on a computer. I didn't believe him. Shows what I know.

[CrunkyMixes]

Tres tres bien fait mais son seins gauche est mal fait :S ! lol Bonne continuation

[travisimoto]

u should do like an old 50's grey picture of a like house wife or something...or do Marilyn monroe

[StephanieValentin]

@AquaGirl11354 Merci beaucoup ! Non, désolée, je ne me suis jamais servie de GIMP

[frusciante089]

uoo impressive, every day you do best.

I love your work

[MhariBaybeee]

You no when you do a block of colour, and then you make it blend in, what tool do you use.? Do you use the smudge or blur tool or something.? (: x

[millenians]

Respect!!!! c trop stylé. Et la musique est de toi aussi? parce qu'à la fin de la video, il y a " painting & music by Stephanie Valentin". En tout cas j'adore

[millenians]

waouh! Chapeau bas. A fin de la video , il y a "Painting & Music by Stephanie Valentin" , la musique est vraiment de toi aussi ?^^ si c'est le cas bah , Respect, Respect, Respect!! sinon bah, Respect, Respect, Respect!! c trop stylé ce que tu fais

[boilingpoint2]

extraordinaire, félicitations

[chduhamel]

Un grand bravo c'est vraiment impréssionnant pour un profane comme moi :)

[seboune74]

Je suis fan de cette femme! Maintenant je suis fan de ton travail !!! Bravo ;-)

[Kekzeck]

what's your original time ?

[shinmopi]

Vraiment impressionant. J'aime beaucoup voir l'évolution, notamment sur le visage. La seule partie qui me parait bizzare c'est sa poitrine, surtout son sein droit (donc celui à gauche sur l'image) ... mais bon. Très bon travail. Tu es très douée.

[StephanieValentin]

@shinmopi Merci beaucoup, oui moi aussi je trouvais la poirtrine bizarre sur la photo lol J'ai hésité à la changer un peu en la dessinant mais cela n'aurait plus été correct, c'est comme cela que ça doit être quand le bras écrase la poitrine.

[marek011011]

wow, one of the hottest woman in the world painted by one of the best photoshop artists i know-amazing. seriously, the effect looks like a very good photography

i`m getting my tablet for this Christmass will start with digital painting for real, because using just mouse is killing me

[midnight121dotcom]

Stephanie, it is always a pleasure to watch your magic unfold on the screen. This of course is beautiful work.

[TheOcarina64]

Putain, c'est pas croyable ce qu'on peut faire avec un ordi oO

En tout cas, bravo a toi, le travail est magnifique !!!

[riteasrain]

so well done!

[AkatsuKKiller]

Song name ?

Nom de la musique ? Merci ^^ 

[MissJackassMeintJenn]

Amazing :D

I'm excited for my graphic tablet, which I'll hopefully get for my birthday. :P

Stephanie, do you have any suggestions for a cheap graphic tablet for beginners and hobby ? A good brand or something?

[StephanieValentin]

@MissJackassMeintJenn Thanks ! I have a Wacom (Intuos2), I'm very happy with it but I never tried another one ;-)

[MrBawsy]

holy moly!

i would swear this was a photograph!! ...and not a drawing!

[patrickfaraciskates]

your such an amzing artist. im saving up for a Wacom Cintiq and i think i can become a decent artist with the help of your tutorials. thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the world! =)

[StephanieValentin]

@patrickfaraciskates Thanks a lot ! I'd like to have a Cintiq too ;-)

[BDPizzle321]

beautiful. you have a gift.

[Irvanna1918]

You're such a role model and an inspiration....I would LOVE to see a speed paint (or tutorial) on a male's face, crossing my fingers that it'll happen

[FrankieBot01]

Es increible!

Wow! is amazing!

[PirZen]

I love you work, you inspire me i do paintings in photoshop but they never look as realistic as your, Do you work in multiple layers? how do you make it so all the shadows and colors blend? <3 ur work

[StephanieValentin]

@PirZen Thanks a lot, I have some tutorials on my channel (or in my website) that explains this technique.

[PirZen]

@StephanieValentin Thank you so much, I am working on a new painting and I am going to try your technique :).The tutorial were very helpful and now i understand how to blend my colors.

[PirZen]

@StephanieValentin Thank you so much, I am working on a new painting and I am going to try your technique :).The tutorial were very helpful and now i understand how to blend my colors.

[paddybuck2255]

[shinokio09]

perfect incredibly, good work greetings from mexico

[treverg]

Your probably the only person I check up on new videos frequently because your talent just blows my mind every time I see a new video. Keep up the good work! You inspire All!

[StephanieValentin]

@treverg Thanks for these kind words, I'm very happy to read that !

[karnnameless]

could you do a tutorial of how to draw realistic silver hair? that would help me a lot. cant find any of those

[SantixIris]

@karnnameless something tells me you're going for a Noctis portrait, lolz

[GismoGirl79]

wow fantastic, how long did this take you in real time? I have tried to speed up my paintings but they are still like 20 mins long :( how do you work so fast and so precise at the same time?? Truly inspirational .......

[StephanieValentin]

@GismoGirl79 I speed the video with camstasia and after in Premiere. A speed painting could take me between 2 and 50 hours, it depends ;-)

[RUSSAK16]

I´ve never seen someone painting like you before. Your unique style is very cool.

Could I ask you a question? What do you do with the hair at 2:50? Do you use the smudge tool or the liquify tool or something?

[StephanieValentin]

@RUSSAK16 Thanks ;-) Yes, I use the smudge tool.

[rdaredevil]

i wish i could do this!

[paweladamiec]

wow !

[bobwlkr]

Thanks Stephanie! Your work continues to be a great inspiration!

[DefloS]

awesome, just like always!

[palmspringsartist]

Awesome... This is one of your best ones yet!!

[xxaprunexx]

awe-inspiring talent you have there, truly. Keep up the fantastic work!!

[lorddraco2086]

Love ur work and each one of ur tutorials, but i got a question, always tried to make the lines like that, do u use diferent size of pincels when u make the layer of the lines?

[kevico2]

I just created an avatar of me on dollsandthecity. I'm cute! Great paintings by the way. I just subscried!

[Novatojnr]

Best!!!

[Beejunka]

I LOVE this you are truly amazing! Your work always inspires me! I'm glad I subbed! I have one teeny question though, where do you find all these pictures of celebrities and such? I get so inspired and then I can never find a suitable picture to draw ]: Thanks!

[boyt0mmy]

you are beyond amazing. love it

[padilmj58]

Amazing job! Wow there's been so many videos in my subscriptions on my birthday.

[lrusso2327]
