"I drew you." translation: "I noticed you and paid attention to you without asking anything in return." I think that's why this feels so wholesome and makes some of these people so emotional.
some comment said she was reading "Life Strategies for Sensitive People" soooo you can tell why she cried when she got shown affection by a random stranger in the form of a well done portrait
We don't know if she smiles, and neither does the artist because she has something covering her smile. That would shock and make me sad too if I saw it in a lovely drawing.
ThatOneLeaf omg i wish i was there to hug her😔😔see her crying and i am crying as well i can totally understand why she cried😞as a fellow sensitive person
I think the reaction is fake. I think whole video is fake. I'm not saying it's impossible to make those kinds of drawings in the subway. The drawings are totally possible. However, the video cuts the actual drawing part out. It wouldn't be hard to switch a completed drawing in. Each time, the model sits in a pose. Then, the camera looks away for 20+ minutes of drawing (if we believe the video is real). Then the camera moves back, and the model is still in the _exact_ same pose. That's staged. People don't do that in real life. People naturally shift and move. They don't stay in exact same pose with their head and neck locked into place. These drawings would take at least 20 minutes, possibly more. It just doesn't make sense to me that people would hold prefectly still for 20+ minutes, as seen in the shots before and after the drawing. Especially with the over the top reactions, i am really skeptical. Someone could just get a few models, draw their portraits, then have them sit on the train to act out the scene. The more emotional their reactions, the more views you get. Source: i learned traditional oil painting and figure drawing at an atelier for several years in California. I draw people in public too. Editted for clarity. people kept misreading my comment. Hoping this edit will clarify my point.
@@wolfumz just because you can't do it doesn't mean someone else can't. humble yourself. nobody cares if you can paint or if you think the video is fake
@@briannakielly dude we know his vids are scripted honestly if you don’t know that go back to elementary school 😂 three one with Bella poarch in the restaurant and one in her place and once he drew her they laughed it’s so staged but the only thing not stage is his talent
It's staged. Did they stay in position for 30 minutes while he made those elaborate pencil strokes and even paint with a variety of colors, or did he do all that in like 3 seconds?
The lady that cried. I understand her feeling. It was a strong moment of connection. Our societies are so disconnected, that realization gives a sense a relief
It's staged my guy. This would take ages to draw, there's no way he'd draw someone for all that time and they'd stay in the same pose, or even on the train that long. Still the man has skills though.
@@Barbro247 You seem like a funny person... sure masks hide a good percentage of facial expressions, which, in some way might disconnect some people, tho it's not because of that that people wearing, to protect themselves from a virus, are morons
I feel like she cried because she is seeing what she has gicen up as far as freedoms right on her face. It's hard to face that. A lovely drawing that can't even show her smile. Sad.
@@wolfumz I think we all know that they're fake. But as I have to wear a mask in the workplace sometimes I will catch a reflection of myself with a muzzle on my mouth and it makes me incredibly sad. You don't really know what you look like with half your face and half your expressions gone until someone brings attention to it or you look at yourself in the mirror. Sometimes it's a shock!
It’s a wonderful moment, when the person comes to life suddenly, their eyes sparkle, they smile, and their whole energy fills the space and connects immediately with the artist. It all happens so quickly. It’s a beautiful way to connect with people. Amazing talent.
The second lady is going through a lot in her life. She's filled with tears of joy that someone was willing to spend time on her. For her, it's almost like someone caring for her.
These people feel like someone accually saw them. Not just a glancing gaze but looked at them ever hair out of place ever beatiful detail. You are a great talent far beyond just an artist.
The lady, number 2, was literally reading "The Empath's Survival Guide", Life Strategies for sensitive people. I'm sure your drawing meant the world to her!
Dude has some serious talent. There are so many TH-cam channels and TikTok channels that are just trash and it seems like we need to make people feel good once in a while. Great stuff man for real!
I can relate to the woman In the yellow pants. Just having someone take time out od their day to recognize you and remind you that you exist and are loved and important, that is something I try to Dao everyday by just saying hello to anyone and everyone
People are really touched by random acts of kindness like that. It's totally understandable that some folks might get emotional over something so rare and so beautiful happening to them........
You are an extremely skilled young man, and the joy you bring to those strangers is lovely. Good deeds like that are worth having on the website. Merci.
This man is a angel at work. Putting his remarkable talent to use to uplift society, a person at a time. Making each person he draws feel special and worthy. Great practice too!
@@iSuckAtGamesGG Well, they get paid with an ultra realistic, professional drawing of themselves, and all they had to do was to do what they normally do anyway. That is, to travel on the subway while looking at their phones, oblivious to the world around them, lol. I'm 50/50 as to whether they are actually paid actors or not though.
Thank-you for making people so happy. The lady who cried was so touching, it wad extra special. God you and everyone you drew especially the lady who cried x
We live in a world where nobody pays attention to anybody. His gift breaks through the isolation and when it’s broken there’s a outpouring of positive emotion.
Well, just cause people don't pay attention to others sometimes, don't mean that we are bein' in any way.. We just go bout our days....... (Can't think of it like that.. It isn't like some people are bein' a way bout whatever)
I’ve drawn people before incognito-granted with much less skill-and people still genuinely love it. A hand drawn picture of someone is like a surprise gift.
@@gastongodoy4944 It really depends. When I was in the zone, maybe 5-10 mins. 15-20 mins for significantly more detailed drawings. You'd be surprised how quickly these kinds of small drawings can be done. But that's entirely based on the person's skill.
When the woman with the yellow pants started crying, I immediately thought of what Robin Williams said: "everyone you meet is going through a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always". Her reaction was quite strong, I wonder if she was going through a rough patch or not. It caught me off guard.
someone in the comments noted that she was reading "the empath's survival guide" so, she's a highly sensitive person. she felt that kindness on another level

Simple mise en scène ! L'homme tatoué feint la surprise alors que le dessin laisse entrevoir un tatouage que dans la réalité son TEE-SHIRT CACHE ! C'est cela qui aurait dû être une SURPRISE !
Devon's artistry is so moving and emotionally provoking. I love to see the reactions of the people he sketches. You're truly gifted and a gift Devon. ¡Dios debendiga!❤
The 1st man receiving the drawing carefully with both hands evidences his thoughtfulness. The 1st woman just seemed overwhelmed with that bit of human connection, and more importantly, recognition.
Literally came to the comment section just to see if there were any others who thought that was funny too 😂😂🤣 the hard cut right after he asks absolutely sent me
I felt like crying myself, seeing how moved she was by his care, by being seen by a stranger. I’ve never asked this question of a particular artist; Do you teach? It’s been thirty years since I went to art school, I work as an illustrator for the past 20 years, any guidance you might offer would be precious and appreciated, you see people clearly and show the beauty and dignity in them. Thank you so much for sharing this gift with everyone.
@@bignumbers I don't agree with that at all. Even through her mask you can see that she isn't embarrassed or angry, and that her reaction is full of complex emotion that isn't necessarily negative. People react to attention, and especially unexpected appreciation, along a very wide spectrum of emotion - for example, someone who is feeling invisible or unappreciated might react quite strongly to having someone draw a portrait of them. If I had to deduce what she was feeling, it might be grief - the hand to the mouth indicates surprise or disbelief, the glance at the artist reinforces this, the tears and the staring at the picture all indicate some deeper emotional connection she has made because of what she saw - perhaps she strongly resembles her deceased or invalid mother, especially when discounting the lower part of the face due to the mask, and that caused her to make a strong connection with a memory that she finds important, pleasant, maybe even wonderful, but tinged with sadness. it's a genuine reaction from a person who feels emotion deeply - you really should not assume that she is being vain just because she is exhibiting emotion - if you ask me she was the most complimentary reaction he got; art is supposed to make us feel something.
You’re awesome, so gifted and kind to people. Thank you for what you do. Keep up the great work. It’s your ministry to helping encourage people, especially when they’re having a bad day, week, month or year. You just brighten their life! 😊👍✝️🎉🇺🇸💪
Non ho parole per descrivere quello che tu fai! È da poco che, per puro caso, mi sono imbattuta in questi tuoi video 😮 La reazione delle persone è bellissima, a volte commovente, ma vedere la tua mano che corre veloce sul foglio disegnando in poco tempo il volto di una persona, con tutti i suoi tratti espressivi, è miracoloso 👏 Nessuna I.A. potrà mai neppure avvicinarsi a un talento come il tuo! In un'altra epoca saresti stato un Michelangelo o un Caravaggio ❤️
Your talent is amazing. That little bit of happiness you bring those people is incredible. I hope you keep doing this and great things happen for you as well.
Truly and amazing talent...and the joy you give. Very special and a lovely act of kindness lifting everyone's spirits. Unbelievably gifted...and you share that. 🙏💕💜
The second lady 0:28: your drawing told her something she needed to hear: “you’re not invisible! I see you!” That’s why she broke down. The way she’s dressed is depicts a person who doesn’t think people notice her or care how she looks but you took the time and put it on paper. You done more for her than ten therapists would have ❤️
Such a talented artist! I love watching you use your talent to bring smiles to people's faces. Our world right now has a lot of hate. Bright spots like you givee hope that the negativity can't prevail. Thanks for helping to save the world.
@@root3291 As an actor, I don't think those are paid actors. You cannot act THAT real without accidentally letting it show that you are not genuine. Why are there always people who have to see the bad in everything?
The genuine reactions are just priceless...not only do you create such amazing sketches but you also bring so much joy and happiness in all our lives,the geniune smiles and happiness that you bring to the faces and hearts of the people that you draw is just a joy to watch.i simply love you for what you do.
The book she is reading is titled 'The Empath's Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People'. I find it hard to believe that it could be staged, with that level of detail, and a very seemingly genuine reaction.
Wow, you are so kind, talented and qlso very humble. It is just beautiful to watch how you gave those peoples a day to remember. The world knows lots of talented people, the world also knows the kind and humble. But rarely you see those three combined. You should be proud of yourself, i honestly think you are making the world a better place with those kind and selfless gifts.
You are amazing....your an angel who brings a little happiness to others, to include , showing them how truly handsome/beautiful they are..keep being kind to others..your so special...❤❤❤
What enormous talent. Absolutely, positively and especially during this pandemic that the world is in. I too was happy for her. Please everyone take care and let's begin to work on being kind. 🌹🖖
Devon, you are a gift, not only gifted! You really touch people deeply and their reactions are priceless. The smiles I have had watching the reactions is therapeutic. Thank You Devon!
Agreed. You can't underestimate the effect he has on those strangers! t's a funny thing when you can draw... you start out drawing because you are secluded or bored... and when you get good everyone wants to watch you draw and have you draw something... It becomes an easy way of connecting with others... I don't draw portraits, so I never had the chance to surprise people with their own picture like that, but I used to draw funny cartoons and characters for everyone... I still love to draw for kids whenever I get the chance... :)
I get emotional every time I watch your videos! Your drawings are better than pictures! If a picture is worth a thousand words, your drawings are worth a million! Thanks for making people so happy!
I feel like that lady who broke down in tears felt she hadn’t ever really been “seen” before, maybe some disassociation issues from past trauma/narcissistic parents and maybe gig through a breakup and you made her feel like she was “there”, visible, “seen”, of worth. And she was able to see herself from an outside point of view finally. Or maybe she’s a nurse handling covid as best as she could. Her eyes first looking up, glazed over with daily disappointment then seeing her surprise really chokes me up. You sure broke through something great to her and that’s beautiful. You have an incredible, incredible skill. Keep using that amazing talent. Kindness from strangers is the best kind.👌🏽
This is such a kind gesture. It's crazy how something so small, would probably be the most rememberable thing that ever happened to those people.. what a nice person.
@@agila.r7296 Because I have a brain. Those drawings take hours to complete, and are impossible to do in the few minutes that someone is on the subway. There’s a reason he pans down onto the drawing and leaves the person out of frame in every video. In this one specifically the man is literally posing, and then upon completion of the drawing, (which again would take hours) the man is posing in the exact same position. Hence, obviously staged.
@@wesleythompson3917 i agree that some kind like those drawing needs time to be done, but if he practice A LOT, which is he said he's doing this for the past 9 years, which is 9 years experience, there's also A LOT of artist that can done portrait in just minutes. Also I'm not STUPID that ignore possiblity that he told em that he's bout to draw a portrait of em, n need some time to be done. there's also a video of him taking a video with his phone that other passengers took

Devon you are an inspiration for humanity. Your work should be shown in the Museum of Fine Arts.
I'm truly amazed. Best wishes.
The 1st man receiving the drawing carefully with both hands evidences his thoughtfulness. The 1st woman just seemed overwhelmed with that bit of human connection, and more importantly, recognition.
look what happens th-cam.com/video/L56ZIBcZShw/w-d-xo.html
She was reading a guide for hypersensitive people. She sure was overwhelmed
@@reneweiss96 Terrific attention to detail.
I love how the second woman starts crying and he's just like:
"r u ok 😐"
Literally came to the comment section just to see if there were any others who thought that was funny too 😂😂🤣 the hard cut right after he asks absolutely sent me
She just didn't realise how prominent the lines on her forehead were until he showed her. She was distraught
I felt like crying myself, seeing how moved she was by his care, by being seen by a stranger. I’ve never asked this question of a particular artist; Do you teach? It’s been thirty years since I went to art school, I work as an illustrator for the past 20 years, any guidance you might offer would be precious and appreciated, you see people clearly and show the beauty and dignity in them. Thank you so much for sharing this gift with everyone.
@@bignumbers I don't agree with that at all. Even through her mask you can see that she isn't embarrassed or angry, and that her reaction is full of complex emotion that isn't necessarily negative. People react to attention, and especially unexpected appreciation, along a very wide spectrum of emotion - for example, someone who is feeling invisible or unappreciated might react quite strongly to having someone draw a portrait of them.
If I had to deduce what she was feeling, it might be grief - the hand to the mouth indicates surprise or disbelief, the glance at the artist reinforces this, the tears and the staring at the picture all indicate some deeper emotional connection she has made because of what she saw - perhaps she strongly resembles her deceased or invalid mother, especially when discounting the lower part of the face due to the mask, and that caused her to make a strong connection with a memory that she finds important, pleasant, maybe even wonderful, but tinged with sadness. it's a genuine reaction from a person who feels emotion deeply - you really should not assume that she is being vain just because she is exhibiting emotion - if you ask me she was the most complimentary reaction he got; art is supposed to make us feel something.

You’re awesome, so gifted and kind to people. Thank you for what you do. Keep up the great work. It’s your ministry to helping encourage people, especially when they’re having a bad day, week, month or year. You just brighten their life! 😊👍✝️🎉🇺🇸💪
Non ho parole per descrivere quello che tu fai! È da poco che, per puro caso, mi sono imbattuta in questi tuoi video 😮 La reazione delle persone è bellissima, a volte commovente, ma vedere la tua mano che corre veloce sul foglio disegnando in poco tempo il volto di una persona, con tutti i suoi tratti espressivi, è miracoloso 👏 Nessuna I.A. potrà mai neppure avvicinarsi a un talento come il tuo! In un'altra epoca saresti stato un Michelangelo o un Caravaggio ❤️
Imagine if a guy robs him and the police needed a sketch?
Him: “I’ve been training my entire life for this moment”
That's funny lol.
Elite
Lol true
I'm a portrait artist with PTSD so I think about this way too often lol
Lol
Breaks my heart when they cry. Every person has their story, never assume anything about people around you
Your talent is amazing. That little bit of happiness you bring those people is incredible. I hope you keep doing this and great things happen for you as well.
Você simplesmente é um gênio. Simplesmente incrível. Muito, muito, muito talentoso. Parabéns, ganhou um monte de fãs. Adoramos arte.
Imagine if someone draw him back.....
“Hi, I drew you.”
Another guy jump out of nowhere...
“Heeeeeey, I drew you too!!!”
*Visible confusion*
Uno reverse card
In a perfect world.
Insert spiderman vs spiderman pic
😂🤣
So many people think they're ugly, so imagine how beautiful they feel when a talented stranger thinks they're beautiful enough to draw ❤
If you know u know

Truly and amazing talent...and the joy you give. Very special and a lovely act of kindness lifting everyone's spirits. Unbelievably gifted...and you share that. 🙏💕💜
It’s such a gift to be able to connect with people on that level.
The second lady 0:28: your drawing told her something she needed to hear: “you’re not invisible! I see you!” That’s why she broke down. The way she’s dressed is depicts a person who doesn’t think people notice her or care how she looks but you took the time and put it on paper. You done more for her than ten therapists would have ❤️
The lady so emotion
Nah fam that shit fake as fuck lmfao. Seen better acting in a porno tbh
@@tommyddoom ❤️❤️ you’re right!!!
Lmao who are you to say what she was going through at the moment?😂😂😂😂😂
@@orphanagewarden I’m sorry! Who are you to say she wasn’t? 🤷🏾♂️
Its like showing people how beautiful they are by showing a reflection. An authentic one. They learn to love themselves for a moment.
This is beautiful, my eyes get a little watery every time I watch. Restoring faith in humanity one drawing at a time...
A kingly gift!!!!! Half your talent is art, the other half is heart. Blessings
Very well said!
Very profound words!
Sadly ton of people lack the second one
He doesn't draw them on the train.
These are scripted videos.
Yeah, hard to believe but it's the truth
@@pizzaparkerhotdogmaguire3225 100% these are scripted. These people have already been told the task. Great art though
@@new2POOL208
The art is undoubtedly fine.
The fact that he lets people believe that this is done in a few minutes on train isn't fine.
He's literally SO GOOD at drawing and capturing textured hair. It's amazing.
Yeah, the hair on the first one was on point!
This ! This is such amazing energy … I don’t understand why it doesn’t have more likes after millions have watched.. keep being awesome ✌🏻😎
Devon, you are absolutely amazing. You bring so much light and Joy out of every page you touch
The first guy is a master of contradictions. He handles the picture like it’s made of fine glass, and he looks so hard.
gentle giant :P the whole piece of paper fit in just one of his hands it was so cute 😄 he's lovely
Hi 👋👋👋👋👋👋
th-cam.com/video/36XJ_CyQTCk/w-d-xo.html 🌹🌹🌹
I like how he starts with Squidward's circle and finishes with spongebob's drawing
Well... it is starting with spongebob's circle in a way cuz its perfect to draw their faces on.
@@ilikelobsters.2376 true! Guy is talented 👏
😂😂😂
I love this comment way too much
I'm happy everyone feeling joyfully
After the drawing. It make them feel good about themselves
Such a talented artist! I love watching you use your talent to bring smiles to people's faces. Our world right now has a lot of hate. Bright spots like you givee hope that the negativity can't prevail. Thanks for helping to save the world.
Just wonderful ! Looking to people happy, that is really positive and put smile on my face. Thank you
I love your gift. Never stop drawing people. You create smiles every time. Blessings
It is touching moment when they feel noticed. We don’t know what, person who sits next to us going trough. ❤️😇
I agree. The second lady that started crying 😥😥
@@xJuliettex yes!! I wanted to hug her but I cried too❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰
Yall ever believe it's staged or nah
@@user-ou7wt3lx8m ok but it is your beliefs. let us say our opinions on the video without you guys coming in and saying "FAKE" like just uuuugghh
@@Galaxius2117 Ok let us say our opinions and say it's fake?? You my friend have something in common with the bible. (contradictions)
“It’s a gift? I have nothing to give you” … I love how the one guy immediately wanted to give something back 😊
Amazing seeing strangers’ reactions being so human to a stranger’s drawing gesture. Great vid, thank you for sharing.
What you do Devon is truly a gift to the world.
Stranger: gets off the Mta Train before the drawing is finished
Artist: “Hey, you weren’t supposed to do that.”
I was hoping someone would have said this 😂
Thought the same
Yup
and luckily stuff like that doesn’t happen when you use paid actors! so he will never experience this situation lmaoo
@@root3291 As an actor, I don't think those are paid actors. You cannot act THAT real without accidentally letting it show that you are not genuine.
Why are there always people who have to see the bad in everything?
The 2nd woman being moved by art was really priceless. As an artist it really moved me. Well done mate 👏
I know it’s obvious her response ; but I wonder 💭 what she was going through exactly 🥺🙏❤️
Devon..you are respectful and extremely talented! Thank you for both!! Just being nice to people is amazing nowadays!! Need more like you!
The genuine reactions are just priceless...not only do you create such amazing sketches but you also bring so much joy and happiness in all our lives,the geniune smiles and happiness that you bring to the faces and hearts of the people that you draw is just a joy to watch.i simply love you for what you do.
This is actually wholesome, hardly anyone would do this to brighten a stranger's day
it's um staged but it's better too see that someone can draw crazy fast like that before a stop.
@@user-ou7wt3lx8m I know it's staged but still, the fact that he gave them a drawing is nice
That poor woman that started crying. You just know she's going through some shit and really needed someone to brighten her day.
thank god she got it that day
pretty sure most of these are staged
@@yamatosennin9249 I was thinking that, but wasn't sure
The book she is reading is titled 'The Empath's Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People'. I find it hard to believe that it could be staged, with that level of detail, and a very seemingly genuine reaction.
@@justdastardly it’s fuckin OBVIOUSLY staged lmao 🤦♂️😂 you people are insanely gullible. Did you expect them to have a book without a title? Lol
Wow, you are so kind, talented and qlso very humble. It is just beautiful to watch how you gave those peoples a day to remember.
The world knows lots of talented people, the world also knows the kind and humble. But rarely you see those three combined.
You should be proud of yourself, i honestly think you are making the world a better place with those kind and selfless gifts.
You are amazing....your an angel who brings a little happiness to others, to include , showing them how truly handsome/beautiful they are..keep being kind to others..your so special...❤❤❤
When you made the woman cry, you made a total stranger happy and that was a beautiful moment! Thank you!
What enormous talent. Absolutely, positively and especially during this pandemic that the world is in. I too was happy for her. Please everyone take care and let's begin to work on being kind. 🌹🖖
I cant believe she actually cried
@@Janeair41.... well said ✨
So you guys really don't see how obviously staged that is? Damn....thats rough....
Umm man i think thats scripted but his sketches r another level
The emotional effect of being "seen" with precision is powerful.
Also makes you wonder how alone people are, an act of recognition moves em to tears. Bittersweet.
This ist acted
Love it!
@@nyzer1620 no one said it was ... weirdo
@@GGs-World wtf?
Thnkx x all those smiles 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 respect ✊✊✊God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
There’s only a handful of really gifted and artistic people like yourself in the world, you are a treasure to behold and I’m in awe of your talent 😊
Devon, you are a gift, not only gifted! You really touch people deeply and their reactions are priceless. The smiles I have had watching the reactions is therapeutic. Thank You Devon!
Its so right
th-cam.com/video/LpoU8xSQrDY/w-d-xo.html
I tryed a same watch and share your 💞
maybe, or she hasnt looked in a mirror in a long time. cant go into psyche of ppl without knowing them.
Agreed. You can't underestimate the effect he has on those strangers!
t's a funny thing when you can draw... you start out drawing because you are secluded or bored... and when you get good everyone wants to watch you draw and have you draw something... It becomes an easy way of connecting with others... I don't draw portraits, so I never had the chance to surprise people with their own picture like that, but I used to draw funny cartoons and characters for everyone... I still love to draw for kids whenever I get the chance... :)
*How he just makes everyone’s day; the “You Matter ❤️” was such a wonderful touch.*
💜😗
I get emotional every time I watch your videos! Your drawings are better than pictures! If a picture is worth a thousand words, your drawings are worth a million! Thanks for making people so happy!
Awesome that you bring joy to these people in a time that its so so needed .Kudos Devon !!
The lady who cried was just overwhelmed to find out that she wasn’t invisible. Someone saw her and took the time to draw her.
Perfectly stated.
Probably she was thought herself more younger but paint did made her aged.
He put lot of wrinkle on her forehead then later suprised about reaction.
@@serhendiefendi 😂🤦🏾♂️
That was beautifully put!
I feel like that lady who broke down in tears felt she hadn’t ever really been “seen” before, maybe some disassociation issues from past trauma/narcissistic parents and maybe gig through a breakup and you made her feel like she was “there”, visible, “seen”, of worth. And she was able to see herself from an outside point of view finally. Or maybe she’s a nurse handling covid as best as she could. Her eyes first looking up, glazed over with daily disappointment then seeing her surprise really chokes me up. You sure broke through something great to her and that’s beautiful.
You have an incredible, incredible skill. Keep using that amazing talent.
Kindness from strangers is the best kind.👌🏽
Maybe her portrait reminded her of a deceased mother
Or maybe because she is a murderer and she suddenly saw her face sketch
@@ragingbull888 or maybe one of her beloved is an artist too and reminds her of him.
OR............Its just fake
Or..
It's so emotional to see how people first of all need love.
Thank you Devon.
How does a person not absolutely love this screen watching people's days be made by something so small yet fully gifted. Amazing.
This is such a kind gesture. It's crazy how something so small, would probably be the most rememberable thing that ever happened to those people.. what a nice person.
I need lessons from you Devon!!!
It’s painfully obvious that it’s staged. You don’t see this?
@@wesleythompson3917 how'd u know it's staged?? There's no proof if it's staged or not
@@agila.r7296
Because I have a brain. Those drawings take hours to complete, and are impossible to do in the few minutes that someone is on the subway. There’s a reason he pans down onto the drawing and leaves the person out of frame in every video. In this one specifically the man is literally posing, and then upon completion of the drawing, (which again would take hours) the man is posing in the exact same position. Hence, obviously staged.
@@wesleythompson3917 i agree that some kind like those drawing needs time to be done, but if he practice A LOT, which is he said he's doing this for the past 9 years, which is 9 years experience, there's also A LOT of artist that can done portrait in just minutes. Also I'm not STUPID that ignore possiblity that he told em that he's bout to draw a portrait of em, n need some time to be done. there's also a video of him taking a video with his phone that other passengers took
the fact that he takes his god giving talent to the subway just to bring joy to random strangers is truly amazing!
God didn't give him the talent. He worked to be this good
This isn't god talent. The man's ability is a combination of studying, hard working and pratice.
No it is from GOD just like singing is a gift from GOD
@@chrisgregory9516 so you're saying that he was always able to do this ? With no effort ? You apparently know nothing about drawing nor working hard
He worked a hella lot to get there, respect his work, it ain't a gift from nobody
I love this guy. So humble and so talented. God given talent that is being used to bless peoples days. How awesome is that.
