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.

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

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! ❤

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 love how everyone's face lights up once they see the drawing - what you do is magical!

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 you know how to make people smile , what a talent !!!!

It's nice to see you back out again bringing smiles to people 👍

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. 😂

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.

You can be rich making portraits but no you use your God giving talent to bring a smile to someone’s life! Continue making them all smile!

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...

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 Love The Way He Brightens Everyone's Day! 😇

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!

Instead of watching their reactions I was fixated on whether they drop their phone on the floor or not. Now, I'm about to rewatch for the reactions.

Of course you're Devon! and he sat in front of you on purpose and got lucky! Amazing work! So blessed! 🙏💞

wow!!! last guy is the most beautiful guy I have seen in quite awhile .. my eyes are drawn to uniqueness

I'm curious, how long does it take to do a sketch? Do you ask them to wait until you're done? How many people have left the train before you've finished? Lastly, you have a camera somehow focused on the paper as you draw with one hand and hold the paper with the other hand - doesn't that get the attention of the other person?

He does the piece from a photo reference at home or wherever then films himself handing it to them later. For example, at one point he draws part of a guy's tattoo that was under his shirt and could not be seen, so it was clearly done from off the subway at another time with another photo as reference. Also, drawing like this while on a shaking subway would be impossible as many artists have stated). These videos are still heart-warming, but don't think this is something you can do in the way he presents it.
