@@lucianaborinato2993 -- Are you serious?! I hope so! So many new queens to talk to and draw. Would love to see him chat with the UK, Canada and now Holland queens as well. He's such a lovely person, so creative and empowering. And it's nice to hear them just converse and let us get to know them a little bit better and sometimes, a little more intimately.
6 years later and I want a reboot of this show more than ever. Even though it seems like a lot of queens (people/society in general) now are gatekeeping their true feelings thoughts and opinions off camera as to not ruffle feathers and avoid cancel culture.
I have no words to describe how wonderfully tantalized I was by watching this. I loved how raw and real this felt, and I could've honestly watched three more hours of it.
I love love love this, not only cause I love Raja but also how she drew Raven also captured Ravens personality in the drawing. Love it, hope it will come more of these!
kookoo trix I thought of that too. Raja should get the drawings copyrighted then sell the shit out of them at about 60/40 with 40% going to the person drawn. That would be SOOOO KOOOOL. Someone needs to draw RAJA!!!'
I loved listening to Sutan talk about how he's watched Raven's style develop and I completely agree with Raven when she says her look isn't just that of "a pretty girl." I live for queens that can alter my perspective of beauty and introduce strong traditionally butch elements.
It's about damn time. I think WOW and Raja hit this on the head. This was a sweet intimate gem. These are the moments I love in drag. The quiet vulnerable moments. Moments we don't always get to see that much time devoted to on drag race or any of the shorter comedic shows. Also this facet of Sutan's character is one of the most valuable aspects of him and one that many are not usually afforded unless they have met him. On TV such characteristics are drowned out by the constant drama and clucking. I am so happy to see WOW change its spots a little and open up to new experiments and longer shows. This gives us a chance have a tiny peace of these friendships that have been built upon for years. Props to Raven for keeping it in Riverside. So many young gays flee to "bigger" towns in search of a community or in many cases we're running from ourselves. We forget the value in so many lesser known places. The places were we grow up or the places we may find ourselves that beyond our control. The truth is you can't plant a seed anywhere and find love and home anywhere you are. So many of these drag race queens were part of what I view to be a Drag Renaissance of the early 2000s that blossomed in the inland empire. This was where queens such as Raven, Morgan, and Mayhem were born. I've always loved Sutan's Illustrations and I am grateful to finally see her process. Thanks Raja. Thanks Raven. Thanks WOW. Looking forward too more episodes. Damn. I just wrote a damn novel up in this bitch. 😬
I can do magical things with a sewing machine--designing and making my wardrobe since I was 15. I'm 64 now. I am so stinkin' envious of those who can sketch/draw/paint. Ok if I'm doing it in textiles but with pencil/ink/charcoal/paint it's utter failure. Can barely decipher the rough sketches I make of design ideas. Enjoying this series--why haven't I found it before now? It's 2021! A whole different world now. Thank the Universe, RuPaul and WOW for back-to-back international versions of Drag Race during this unending pandemic. We always had something to look forward to in a few days. Don't know if they did it intentionally or not but I'm really grateful. Stuck at home with a cranky older sister w/o a creative bone in her body. I am LIVING for drag right now.
I could get used to this being a new series on here. Probably not as a regular series like the Fashion Photo Ruview or Transformations with James St. James, but definitely something nice that can be done once a month, maybe. But the episode itself was quite interesting to watch.
GREAT concept. Raja sketches like Bob Mackie-one of my favs. I like learning about the artist and subject through this exchange. I think Raja should do the villains of Drag Race so we can perhaps see another side to them. GOOD WORK.
What kind of pens is she using? I'm a 15 y/o guy and an interested in fashion and drag, more drag than fashion but still I need to know how to design shit
Okay, this *NEEDS* to be a series! Just bring *different, funny, interesting* queens in (Example: Tammy, Alaska, Juju, etc.) but they don't have to necessarily be "Ru-Girls" (Example: Mayhem, Vicky, etc.); they can have a sit down with Raja or perhaps Raven.
I'm totally going to love this series!! There should be a part 2 with Raven because I love hearing stories about how it used to be and how they got started in Drag.
If I haven't loved Raja and Raven you enough, now I love you even more! This was awesome...I could listen to you guys talk the whole day and watch Raja draw...
WOWpresents this is the best new series you have put out in a long time!!! Totally natural, entertaining, endearing, lets us get to know and love our queens more and is not edited into the ground. I would LOVE to see more content like this. xoxo
What a great video! no let me say it in a different way! what a perfect and wonderful video! the whole video was so cool! all the informations and talk and the drawing! you two together are so special! much love from Belgium my darlings! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I loved this! please make this a full series (this is a great and appropriate length! I would even watch a 30 minute video). Love it and I hope WOW does more!
I just watched this mesmerized for 17min. didn't even feel like it though. More like 5. Loved hearing them speak but not seeing them. It was very interesting. Something simple, not over-the-top, sort of therapeutic for me.
"That means your brothers are hot and they ride 10-Speeds." Lmao! This was an incredible video. It's like a podcast and wow! Very interesting to listen to y'all's stories and wow is all I can say because every aspect if this video is just thoroughly enjoyable. Love you, beebzzz.
Raja, that was amazing! You should do this with all the queens. Watching the process was so cool and getting to know Raven better on top of that really made me happy. Mind = blown.
I love to see drag queens' special talents you don't see on the show. I wish there could be a series on that: Raja drawing, Thorgy playing a violin, Violet doing the curtain gymnastics (don't remember the name!) or Ivy performing in a circus. That would be amazing
That would be a cool show. Where we get to see them as more than just drag queens. Before they were Raja, Raven and Manila, they were Sutan, David and Karl. Lots of them have other talents including drawing, music, design and more. You have to believe some of them would be interested in people getting to know them better.
I would watch this as a series, 20 minutes of Raja interviewing someone while drawing them... That's definitely more entertaining than some of the other things on this channel.
MORE MORE MORE!!!! I love that Sutan can carry a meaningful conversation while expressing his unique talents! I want to watch these episodes all day where the personas remove the "masks". Thank you for this show!!
ru and the judges keep talking about you should be yourself and not impersonate others all time SURPRISINGLY a beyonce impersonator wins a season, not to mention she is tie to raven duo to the times she is supposed to be in the bottom 2 but the immunity saved her AAAND she wasnt a full package, she didnt have charisma, the only thing she did good was her runway looks and raven killed that too and i think tyra was playing it safe more than being fierce AAANDDD the real winner is the winner of the fans hearts and thats what matters more anyways tyra is forgettable unlike raven.
I desperately wish WOWPresents would bring this series back. I love it so much! I love listening to the queens converse in a totally comfortable environment with a person they know and trust. And Raja's talent seems to know no bounds. I don't know if they discontinued this because of Raja's busy schedule or for other reasons, but I really wish WOW would reconsider.
Love this so much; not only is the drawing gorgeous but the laidback conversation of just two queens going over this and that held my attention the entire time. I'd adore to see more.
More more more! Please do more of this! I absolutely love raja! And her artistic skills are amazing. I loved learning about raven too. It's interesting to hear about queens past lives. I didn't know raven came from a Mormon family, but it's nice to know that she went to her brothers mission farewells. Not all Mormons are crazy anti gay people. I'm mormon and support the lgbt community. I'm absolutely obsessed with drag queens I think they're amazing and can be great role models. I love that drag queens are becoming more accepted in today's society.
I love that WOWPresents is doing these. I love all the big showy produced to Gods vids, don't get me wrong. But this is just so fresh and has this stark cleanness to it: just two people talking while art is being created, the art being the visual focus and the stories floating in over the image. Pretty stunning. The people that are posting about it being boring need to just stick to Alyssa's Secret and Transformations (two other shows I love as well), but this needs some respect as well. Just because there aren't big, super produced titles and theme music and something happening every single punctuated minute doesn't mean it isn't fierce. I can't believe I just found these. But then again now I've got a bunch to binge watch. Fun night ahead....! (Eek!)
i just love it. honestly, on dragrace, raja, you weren't one of my favs, but you have grown on me. you are so talented it makes me sick. please continue with this series. and, not all of us have heard these stories, btw. 8-)
I sure did ride Raja's tuck after her win on Drag race..... But I'm now riding it for another reason.... This shit was amazing...... Can I be your "art daughter" Raja?!
Raja is the BEST sketch artist i have seen in years. I watch her so intently, and i am just blown away by how beautiful her art is! Way to go girl! Xoxoxo
I wish everyone wasn’t so busy to bring this back. It’s super cliche, but it is totally relaxing and interesting. It’s nice to see other mediums coming from your favorite artist. 💛

Raja is so talented
Omg I see you on all the comments dealing with drag. Do you do drag
Raven has the most soothing and relaxing voice ever!
Mina glass Right?! It's so calming. It's a good video series to listen to before bed.
I have no words to describe how wonderfully tantalized I was by watching this. I loved how raw and real this felt, and I could've honestly watched three more hours of it.
amazing
I figured out what Raven looks like. A bratz doll!
She does look like a Bratz doll!
Raja could make awesome asmr videos, her voice is amazing
I love love love this, not only cause I love Raja but also how she drew Raven also captured Ravens personality in the drawing. Love it, hope it will come more of these!
CREATIVE SHOW

yesss gawd
must've been the nose contouring
PLEASE DRAW KATYA!!!
prfm _ie, I want Raja to draw Katya and Trixie and then they should print the drawings on Tshirts! I want to wear them!
YESSSS KATYA AND TRIXIE TOGETHER PLEASE

its so true what raven said, i always end up downloading songs ive not heard of after seeing fierce lip syncs
Same!

Me with MacArthur Park by Donna Summer.
SAME!!!!
same!!!
I love these two. They interact so easy and it's so nice
Inhad no idea Raja was such a talented artist! I enjoyed that very much!!!
RAJA drew girls when she was in AMERICAS NEXT TOP MODEL
I did not know that
Is tgere anything Raja can't do?!! What a talent!
agreed
Padding.
Tiffany Twisted sing live lol
This was great. Hearing the candid talk, while watching the amazingly talented Raja create. It's just beautiful. I'm in AWE!
RAVEN GREW UP IN VICTORVILLE AND LIVES IN RIVERSIDE? GIRL WE GROWING UP AND LIVING IN THE SAME PLACE WHERE YOU AT I NEED TO MEET YOU
Tatum Dean High Desert represent!! lol
She told you where you can find her -- at the swap meet!
It's about damn time. I think WOW and Raja hit this on the head. This was a sweet intimate gem. These are the moments I love in drag. The quiet vulnerable moments. Moments we don't always get to see that much time devoted to on drag race or any of the shorter comedic shows.
Also this facet of Sutan's character is one of the most valuable aspects of him and one that many are not usually afforded unless they have met him. On TV such characteristics are drowned out by the constant drama and clucking. I am so happy to see WOW change its spots a little and open up to new experiments and longer shows. This gives us a chance have a tiny peace of these friendships that have been built upon for years.
Props to Raven for keeping it in Riverside. So many young gays flee to "bigger" towns in search of a community or in many cases we're running from ourselves. We forget the value in so many lesser known places. The places were we grow up or the places we may find ourselves that beyond our control. The truth is you can't plant a seed anywhere and find love and home anywhere you are.

It's called silks acrobatics.

I really do like this, it's different but still interesting. It's almost like a podcast but I like seeing the drawing progress.
Wow! I new Raja was talented, but dam she's a renaissance woman! Love this new series guys. Koodles!

Please please pleeeease turn this into a series! Raja's so talented, and I love learning more about people and their stories. Thanks, WOW :)
This NEEDS to go to series. This is brillilant!
With each stroke, your hands tell the lines of a poem which ultimately exemplifies the beauty that is Raven. I'm impressed.
The drawing is - PERFECTION.
This is so great! It'd be even better being able to see the Raven at the same time. Like a drawing view and a subject view, side by side!
I sure did ride Raja's tuck after her win on Drag race..... But I'm now riding it for another reason.... This shit was amazing...... Can I be your "art daughter" Raja?!
This would be great as a series. Raja is so multi talented and having this as a weekly or monthly series would be a great addition.
What a wonderful idea, what Raja can't do? Divine! And the first episode with Raven and her history, it just gets even better, waiting for more!
This is amazing!!! You're supertalented Sutan, and beautiful in and out of drag! 💜💜💜
Every time someone says Raven I just want her to say "yep that's me"
YES!! Greenlight this as a series I loved it!
oh my god, watching this back... the way the camera picks up the markers
