Stephanie Valentin

Hey everyone, so I’ve been trying to find tutorials online on how to draw realistically. I found some really good stuff but for some reason I couldn’t stick to them. I don’t know, I’m weird I guess haha but I remembered I subscribed to this one chick on Youtube named Stephanie Valentin and man is she good at painting!

Stephanie Valentin does speed drawings on Youtube and she writes her own music. The music is amazing! She plays violin and it sounds beautiful in her videos.

Stephanie’s method of drawing is different from what I’ve come across on the internet; it’s a unique way of getting that realistic look in her drawings. Basically what she does is draw the outline of whatever she’s drawing and she blurs the crap out of it, goes back to redefine it, then blurs it again and keeps with that until she gets what she wants. This is brilliant I must say. I took a look at a few of her tutorials and I really improved with my art. Check out what I made!

I’ve added some piercings to spice up the drawings! The nose and the hands weren’t part of her collection of tutorials but I needed more to make this collage and I could really use some more practice with hands! haha

Anyway, Stephanie Valentin is an amazing artists and one of my favorites. Check her out sometime and her tutorials. The eye tutorial I watched explained how to draw but didn’t go into how to draw the iris very well. However, I was able to watch her do it and figure it out. =) So with that said I will be making an iris tutorial and will be posting it soon. Until then, be well and enjoy this video by Stephanie Valentin!
