[bbrown6057]

your shadowing and highlighting are simply amazing!!

[TheTheoldgit]

i find myself wandering through your videos with the expectations of a small child who has just learnt that there is real magic in the world. As i said on the first video from you that I watched .respect!

[ghostranten]

what is teh song called in this video?

[thepainisbadandsad]

Jeeeezzzz!!!!!!! I am so jealous.

[TheMacrosilva]

I'm someone who is not easily impressed by a lot of things... but your videos, as I go over them gives me goosebumps! you're an exception and a brilliant artist. Amazing to see your work... WELL DONE !

[StephanieValentin]

@TheMacrosilva Thank you very much for your nice comments on my videos ;-)

[dizzymaiden]

[SkiesUpHigh]

You have a few problems with the hair. It looks flat. Else than that.. Eyebrows. AWESOME :D

[samyjb1]

[DRKSTxROS3]

I hope you have another contest soon!

[Luvmariohatekikyo2]

I love how you blend all the colors..Its so warm and comforting.

[YukinoKary]

I love your work! <3 ... it has a characteristic touch and good use of textures

[bolvincheong]

wow~how do u change the blue shirt to golden all the sudden??

[Narinye]

@bolvincheong I wonder that too, shes probably using photoshop, theres a setting on there that allow you to change the layers color, i think lol.

[Papahboyaya]

Stephanie, What Photoshop tool do you use to sketch before you color in. Also when blended the hair did you use the smudge tool?

,Thanks. :-)

[4rg3s]

I noticed that you had a lot of great texture for clothes. Where can I found them?

Thanks a lot for nice video as always ^^

[redraven97]

How do you sharpen the hair strands to a point? cause it doesn't look like you just erase them normally.

[TheBabeeGreen]

Coucou! Quand est-ce que tu refais un concour comme celui-ci?? :) J'adore ton travail! Vraiment super bien ;)

TBG

[MrWFSJR]

[JohnnyStreets]

Holy crap! How are you amazing at everything you do??

[Sakuems]

navrée de casser le rythme mais recopier une photo c'est pas bien compliqué...

c'est très bien cela dit.... mais est--ce que tu fais des créations originales ? sans modèle ?

[StephanieValentin]

@Sakuems Il suffit d'aller jeter un oeil sur mon site, l'adresse est sous la vidéo, il y a des peintures à l'huile et des sculptures aussi ;-)

[conory]

Amazing as usual.

How long did this masterpiece take to complete...?

[DDlol01]

[Fullmetal1890P]

Amazing!

[5CHW4RZK0PF]

Awesome, how can I win one?

[SoloFreak27]

The painting was truly magnificent. I wanted to know if adobe photo-shop is better then Corel painter 11 or if they both stand at the same level. Keep up the good work.

[BrondbyIsMyLife]

The music makes the painting double as good :o

[peps1997]

[davidsaso1234]

[NinaRossedebille]

@elpinta SMDH lool

[cyberwitchify]

her teacher must be proud.

[JellyBeansFTWx]

THATS AMAZING! :D i wish i could draw like yhuu <3... i still think there could be something more done with the skin to give it more 'texture' but im no artist lol :P seriously why are yhuu not really heard of in the world... i only found out bout yhuu by tutorials and WOW YHUR AMAZING :) x

[TheFlapJackk]

Can You Draw Me?

[dominidiego]

I love you!!!...

[hitomekakera]

i wish you could draw me. but i think im too comlicated to draw haha i really really love your drawings!

[cuteboymimmi]

its as if she is drawing with a pencil! You truly are an inspiration!

[amik31]

She has a tablet... hypotheticaly, she is drawing with a pencil, but on a PC..;-)

[3eneboy]

@amik31 well, to make it look lyk she does you have to use allot of blur smudging and what not, so you wouldn't be able to get this affect with a pencil

[Beafteck89]

Actually you can, it just takes a lot longer. the benefit of working on the computer saves time, but it doesn't take away from her talent or creativity. One would not be able to be successful with art on a PC if they weren't talented in paper drawings already.

[3eneboy]

@Beafteck89 i know you can do realistic drawing not on a pc, but i was saying you couldnt get that effect... could you?... if so how... i'd like to know please

[selmafejzi]

How can I be a winner?

[Blackcat5551]

hello stephanie

I watched almost all your videos on youtube, and they are exceptionally beautiful!

bravo! thats the true art!

[filipe026]

bonjour stephanie

j'ai regardé presque la totalité de vos videos sur youtube , et elles sont d'une beauté exceptionnelle !

bravo ! ça de l'art ; du vrai !

[StephanieValentin]

Merci beaucoup !!! Quel courage ;-)

[Briecheese0]

your art is amazing!

[Zelig810]

Wow, this is really cool! ...

Does anyone know what she did at 1:10 when she made the skin go from very rough to blended instantly?

thanks!

[jebestus]

i think gaussian blurr

[Zelig810]

awesome, thanks a bunch!

[Irvanna1918]

Gaussian Blur

[F4O4U4R4S]

very nice!

[yodathedeathshadow]

I'd make some porn pics

[Frobbychannel]

cool but it looks like the necks broken

[bugnicky]

salut c vraiment bien fait c ke tu fait c bo continue comme ca jadore kris

[MrErdju]

just WOw !!

[moohmoopshow]

da fehlen an einem Auge Wimpern o.O

[BOkchOybOy91]

where r her eyebrows? o.o

[Nelffia]

Hey, I really love all your videos, and I draw a lot in Photoshop. I have followed some of your tutorials and they are really helping. I only don't know how to add that texture with the dragons in this video, and that texture in the video where you draw Angelina Jolie.

Would you please tell me how you choose that option (in which menu is it)? Is it a custom texture? And is it available in Photoshop CS3? I don't have CS4 yet

Really love all your work, all the portraits are just like photos.

[F4O4U4R4S]

she is probably using a layer mask to apply the fabric details on the "Angelina" couch and dress and the dragon in this vid.... i think

[Nelffia]

Oh... never thought of that... thx ^_^

[0purple0oranges0]

i wish you could draw my next tattoo for me but i dought someone would be able to redraw it like you...your videos r great

[evergreen261965]

Would be very interested in finding out which software you use, I am very good in PS and Illustrator which are your paintings done in.

Love your work

AD

[StephanieValentin]

Thanks, it's photoshop CS4

[lisbethsr]

Love the music.

[GreekSawyer]

cool

[42pixiedust]

i really like the face and hair, and you've captured her very well, but i really think it would have looked better if you had stuck to the original as far the cloths and jewlery. just my opinion.

[Gabssaint]

ao AWESOME....sooo good

[chibicupcakez]

:O omg!

wait, what do you use??? an oekaki drawing board? photoshop??? O_o` ??!??!? this is...INSANE! :D

[tecnochicks]

beusable(aka a word i made up meaning obvi great job)

[AnastasieBoulay]

Not gonna lie, this is not your best.

[7ygrr]

i agree.

[Neonsuperskinny]

woah... can u make one of me? :)

[joeyviolet]

Awesome !!!

[sahinica]

Youre soooo amazing

[Zoosieboy]

i so wanna enter my friend into this contest, she has poor self esteem and it could really make her feel better about her self when she's drawn out like this- it makes more sense if you knew my friend

[akezzx]

Wow..exactly like her ..ur awesome ! great job

[HiLRoYpwns]

Looks exactly like her...

[SuperRockmysocks]

ahhhhhhhh its so beautiful!!!! why cant we look like this in real life!?!? lol

[SPANISH1000]

lol i always loose track of wich layers do what so this is hard for me to do.

[Smiley10120]

I think she's gorgeous! And this is amazing!

[S3ries0fTub3z]

Stop talking about my eyebrows!!

They are there, just very light blond!

Thank you Stephanie! I'm more than pleased with the portrait!

You are a brilliant artist

[mofohofo]

lol okay ^_^

[milfyywifeyy]

shut up. she's not ugly at all.

[janyll07]

omgggggggggg i want you to my pictureeee can youuu?? =] dat would be so awesomee

[UbiReVera]

Elle est très belle, mon amie artiste. : )

[GraysWar]

5/5 Nice job but the piece seems to feel incomplete without a necklace. It just feels empty.

[jackieiscandy]

amazing amazing amazing, whatever how many your videos I watched, i still have this WOW feeling. You are genius. Love your works both music and the drawing

[poltallach]

What a lovely piece Stephanie...you are extremely talented. The viewers that have commented on the light eyebrows should look closely at the photograph; they have no idea of what they speak. Their comments convey complete ignorance. Those of us that have studied art or are artists do understand light and colour. Isnt it wonderful that the unknowledgeable seem to judge most harshly? Have you noticed that most of them are tweens! What are they teaching in art these days?

[LiquidFl4me]

There teaching absolutly nothing! :(

[lovejenny7]

I really enjoyed watching this video!

Great job!

[Caramelly19]

i dont think i will win... i just have to work more so i can buy one

[TimeBreaker1987]

love this airbrush style, really nice work and techniques BUT the eyebrows are missing imo

[mofohofo]

original brows she dont have them kinda like whoopie lmao

[TimeBreaker1987]

haha :D

just feels weird since the whole is held in a quite strong contrast, the eyebrows should stick more out^^

[Sarahisthebombest]

there are eyebrows they are just light blonde.

[LunarTranquility]

You would have light eyebrows and dark hair if the hair was dyed.

[Sarahisthebombest]

if you look at the picture of the girl, you see she has light eyebrows with dark hair

[faerie0007]

she could have dyed them... idiot

[TimeBreaker1987]

oops I'm sorry, I actually didn't watch the whole video, I didn't see the first seconds for example, I didn't know that this is a portrait, I pretty much started when stephanie started drawing

got nothing to complain about the eyebrows then :) and the drawing is pretty exact to the original

[Sarahisthebombest]

ahaha its ok ^_^

[xJenBabesx]

You have a really great talent! Do you do this as a profession? Also i'd like to give my grandma a picture of all her grandkids for her 82nd birthday and i was wondering if you could maybe make a digital painting? Its something different and new that i think she would really like :) Let me know anyways thanks xx

[stoka88]

Wow! It's perfect!! I like your paintings and your music!

[BabisZacharias]

its very nice!! nice painting and music...!! :D

please check my paintings and tell me about.. thnx!!

[westsidethug45]

i love your music and your awesome art style!!

5/5*

[mnilandcom]

i like the music, i just posted one too be one of the first to view

[SHAunforgivenn]

you're AMAZINGly talented. (:

[BRjp007]

nice

[lunafae]

Love the song..who is it?

[StephanieValentin]

Thanks, it's my music, the link is in more info.

[hypergoose1]

where's her necklace?

[StephanieValentin]

I found her eyes very beautiful and I wanted to accentuate that and then made some changes (clothes...)

[hypergoose1]

i see. nice job, you're very talented.

[DragOzze]

not that great

[Krullemadull]

Omg, that's amazing :D

[sayanorichanx3]

she is one of the winner? :-O

i'm surprised, i had other favourites :P

but congratulations^^

[55Univer55]

great as usual

[jayydoh]

this makes me think of Alice off Twilight

[speakingofjanelle]

WOAH. What you did on that shirt, I was amazed!

[billtvshow]

Fantastic!

[tapp3r]

whaaaat, I'm surprised she won

[sonocontenta87]

wow...i love it.....could you make one 4 me?? :)

[tapp3r]

you have to participate in one of her contests to win a digital portrait.

[Suigetsu444]

I dont think so xD

She did it once for someone and when she makes such an complexity that just one person could get an portrait she wont just give you an portrait..

I knwo Id like that too but when so many people want it she has to draw millions of portraits xD
