Something I've realised watching Devon's videos is that people can always be self-critical with their pictures, but that's never the case with a sketch or painting. Seeing Devon's process makes you realise the intense beauty of how diverse we are as humans - all a piece of art in their own right. The sentiment behind taking the effort to draw a stranger with such meticulous detail makes the sketch so much more than lead on paper - it's deeply infused with emotion. That emotion is hard to put to words but it's clear as day on the faces of all those people. Keep 'em coming man, love to see your work and its impact! ❤
our different colors and languages is of the signs of Allah, Allah said: And one of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your languages and colours. Surely in this are signs for those of ˹sound˺ knowledge. our diversity is so that we may know one another, Allah said: O humanity! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous among you. Allah is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware. thank you for this beautiful comment, have an awesome day ^_^
It's so easy to trick people on internet. Don't you realize the video cuts at the moment the camera goes to the paper? He is not drawing people in the train, He drew people, went to the train and made the video. I'm not asking He didn't draw, but I don't believe He made a realistic drawing in less in seconds, inside a place that swings. When I'm saying, seconds, Is the time that people can leave the wagon. If you see another videos, you realize the illumination changes when the drawing starts.
my boy Devon has 2 talents,painting,and the ability to make normal people feel like rockstars for a moment in the middle of a day that maybe wasn´t great,feeling good or boring.And that´s awesome!love the work,Devon
Beyond the generosity of sharing your talent with strangers, the fact that you always include a positive comment about each person is absolutely fabulous.
Now THIS man shows the best of New York! Anyone that has ridden the subway knows how people try to keep themselves in their own little bubble/world. Devon breaks thru that barrier with his drawing, his words and his attitude and smile. Besides bring an incredible artist - he's an incredible person and shows the heart of New York. Bless you, Devon ... Never change!
If it were here in Brazil, people would react like: Why are you wasting paper drawing me? get a job because believe me, they would notice someone drawing them, or the serious reaction at most a dull smile that would last a maximum of 1 second, or they would keep insisting on asking the price
Being that I’m 65years old,I can say that you are amazing not just that talent but the fact that it doesn’t cost you a thing . The happiness you see in their faces is PRICELESS.
He is not just talented…..he makes sure he makes a nice comment as well, this makes the receiver confident and open to engage in conversation,God bless keep it up and come to Florida
It’s amazing how everyone’s face changes when they smile & start talking with this wonderful, generous artist. Thank you for sharing these experiences!!!
Imagine that I had a terrible day...and suddenly I received this... It surely will cure my emotion and touch... He's not only drawing but makes their day too~awesome!
As always - mad skills bro! Much respect!!! Love seeing the joy you bring to others. You make sure to pay EVERYONE a compliment. Your parents did an outstanding job raising you. You've got a good heart ❤️
If you watch a few of these videos you may notice that people immediately touch their hearts when he gives it to them. They may be on their phones and in their heads, but he gets them right in their hearts! 💗💗💗
Amazing work and I love how respectful you are of everyone you draw. There's no higher calling on this Earth than spreading joy and reminding others that they matter and that they are seen.
He does seem like a nice kid. But life expectancy probably drops significantly, if you were rude every time you reached over to hand someone the picture. Especially on a NY subway.
I wish there are more people in the world like you, who uses his/her skill to make random strangers happy without asking for anything, yet could still make a living on it.
Make sure you are singing your drawings! Everyone should know your name. And thank you for doing something kind for people. You are a terrific artist and human being!
You are incredible! The joy you bring to the lives of these people (and me) is wonderful and so needed in the world today! Thank you for sharing and blessing so many with your gift!
I love the way you not only give them an amazing piece of art (keepsake of themselves), but you always manage to compliment them as well. Bringing so much positivity into this crazy world. Special place in heaven sir...
@@Joeufn Можете подсказать, а у парня на 7:55 какой-то деффект кожи или это какая-то болезнь? А то я не совсем понимаю, как так вышло, что у него часть лица белая, а всё остальное коричневого цвета
Man - what a talent to draw this accurately in such short time windows. I used to be pretty decent at portraiture, but would never have attempted this, especially women, where it's harder to define shapes with hard lines. Such a fine line between accurate rendering and capturing the essence of a person to not creating an unflattering portrait.
I like it when you are recognized as it shows your talent is getting the exposure you deserve, you make people's day better and what a conversation starter lol. The world needs more like you.
What a gift God gave you! Awesome! You always have a compliment for the people as well. I am sure that they are encouraged a LOT by what you do. God bless you Devon.
I think you're an amazing artist, not only that you're giving the people in the videos a little ray of sunshine that could be turning their day around for the better when you make them smile😊
You can see in their faces, it’s saying this is just another blah day, then he gives them the picture and almost instantly their faces shine bright with a great big smile and their day is now gonna be a great day.❤❤❤
Dude keep up the good work, you are using your talents to change peoples' day for the better. Ya never know what someone is going through, and this is what people need. Keep up the amazing art and good vibes
0:19 You made that dudes day, week, month & probably year with that picture dude! I could tell by his sigh/smile. (You made him look thinner & younger, or I need glasses), but because you drew a version of him that probably existed 10-15 years ago you may have reminded him of past times & memories, 'hopefully good ones, lol! Devon, you literally have the Magic in your hands to instantly disarm people with something that comes for free & that's how this world should be, thank you for being a kind person, you have a beautiful heart sir. 🥰👨🎨
Devon is an angel! He blesses each of his subjects by gifting them a replica of themselves. I thank God for you Devon, your great talent and your angelic heart for people.
Your talent is fantastic, but it's your personality that really shines through. You have such nice things to say to these people. Spreading so much positivity into a world that needs it!
Me and my girlfriend went to NYC this last April, I wanted so bad to find Devon in one of the subways that we took during that week. Your drawings are awesome! Thank you for sharing
Always fun to see the reactions of the subject. I especially liked the last guy. He looked so down but as soon as he saw his portrait he cheered right up! Good work Devon!
Haha I love the ones of the people with their dogs showing them the drawings. That’s me with my dogs. I’m always showing them stuff and in my mind I know they know what’s happening. 😂
Social media needs more good stuff like this. Nice job, Devon. Seen several of your videos. Good to see people smiling out in the world. And all great drawings!
Devon, you are a inspiration in being a true human. Spreading love, using your God given talent. The planet needs more people like you sir. Semper fi earthlings Spread the love.
What a gift, I can see the delight and emotions that people experience when they see your beautiful sketches, like they can see their own beauty more clearly. I think it's so special, good on you.
Just came across your video and couldn't stop watching! I had to subscribe!!!! You're talent is such a blessing to so many people, the joy on their faces are priceless!!!
Imagine we all paid each other small compliments like this everyday. Just a few seconds of your day to enrich someone else's. Kindness breeds kindness.
Devon, Love the way you have found the perfect vehicle for bringing joy to others by sharing your amazing gift. Extra special when they recognize you! Inspired to check out your course!
It is a joy to see you bring so many smiles on peoples faces in a world full of dreadfull vibes we are living in! You are a light in the darkness, so keep on shining! Greetings from Namibia!👍
I don't go out much lol but when I do, I always make it a point to find something I like that someone has on, or their hair, makeup, etc. and compliment them. A compliment really does go a long way. It lets people know that their taste, style and efforts are appreciated by someone, and seen.❤❤
that father and son are going to treasure that forever. a beautiful thing to do for them on father's day.
I Love The Way He Brightens Everyone's Day! 😇
am I the only one who gets teary eyed from some of these?!
The joy you see in the people is transferred to you. You probably are fairly empathetic.
I do but I'm not gonna just admit it.... geeze...
This man is literally giving away priceless family heirlooms for free! What a man of men!

thank you for this beautiful comment, have an awesome day ^_^
The lady in the red coat wasn't the most pleased that how she looks and truth to be told she seemed older in the drawing.
Not only is he an amazingly gifted artist, he compliments everyone and makes their day!! The world needs you!!!

Obviously you’re very talented but what is truly a blessing is the joy you bring to everyone.

Including me. I smile the whole video.
Well said Clifford 👍
Totally agree! The joy........we need more of that, true joy!
