She was visibly shocked how great the drawing came out and didn’t expect it to be that amazing.

I love it she constantly talks about providing and caring for her mother. I don’t really see or hear much the young in America saying and doing that for their elderly parents. Bless her. And thank you to you Sir for putting smile on everyone everywhere you go.

So true

Melted her heart and she wasn't ready...🤍 So beautiful Devon... Never stop making a difference muchacho, you're a Saint 💛

That is like a photograph 😲 in fact I think there's more detail in your drawing than any photograph. Simply the best drawing I've ever seen in my 50 years on earth. Sublime.

It's so much like a photograph it's almost as if it IS a photograph! The perspective is identical to a phone camera, truly impressive he uses no guiding lines.

So would I. This is wonderful!!

That was such a beautiful portrait!! She was sweet! As a 57 yr old, you both make me feel hopeful for the future of young people! Such kind, intelligent people.

She had no words 😶 after seeing what Devon blessed her with his talent. We need to see more interview style drawings with random peeps!!!

Devon is an absolute true artist

Indeed. Drawing facial features of that high caliber in 8 minutes is wild. Most people could get close to that level of realism if they had 8 days to complete the drawing.

I don't know if you've ever defined it as such, but make no mistake about it, you have a ministry. You go around spreading light in a sometimes dark world. You obviously have an incredible gift. Watching the reactions remind me that there are still good people in this world. Thank you for sharing your gift, and thank you for the reminder. God bless you!! (He already has, but still...)

Dude you're insane with your drawings! The detail is out of this world. I reckon you need to allow a little more time for people to express their gratitude to you. They take time to look at what you've done, process it and then express their feelings. Don't rush it mate. That's the best part of the experience IMO When you're dealing with something as cool as this it does take time for people to process it and I'm sure they'd love to show you their gratitude and your fans want to see it to. You rock!

Your the best artist I seen all my life God bless you 🙏🏽

I love to see the reaction on every person you draw because you leave them with a smile.. This young lady just wants to be happy and meets you. She shared her story and you gifted her a portrait. What an awesome gift you have . God bless you always.

How could he concentrate in drawing so beautifully and keep a good conversation in the same time uninterrupted, its amazing.

What a beautiful woman and the sketch brings that across perfectly. What a talent

I cant believe that this upcoming art show is going to be your 1st. Your so talented, I thought you would of shown your work in an exhibition long before now. Hope it goes really well for you. Your an amazing talent and the future is bright for you. 🇬🇧👍

Hey Devon, this was an excellent idea. Two things at a time. Interviewing and drawing, quite a combination but it came out pretty good. It was so real and down to the earth and then you were able to kind of like you said describing her life with your drawing... Amazing... way to go buddy

Devon, you absolutely lot a fuse under her. You inspired her with your interpretation of her person. You are a genuine artist! ❤

Devon is such a young and an amazing artist.good personality and quite articulate.he knows how to interact with others where people easily grasp his good vibes and great energy..cheers Devon....

Liking and commenting so the lady can get her break. Bless your souls the two of you! 🙏🙌

Nice seeing you introducing yourself and talking with who you are drawing.

What an amazing, lovely girl. Good luck to her. The artwork is incredible, your talent always leaves me slackjawed! Combined with your good heart & your authenticity, it makes me want to stand and applaud you. 👏 👏

Want more such drawing interviews 🥳

She’s a beautiful human being.

Such a lovely interaction!! I enjoy this format of you spending time talking with the people you draw, Devon. Two truly beautiful people in this video!! 🙂

Lo que haces es espectacular amigo no solo tú talento sino por la alegría que le das a las personas 👌sal2 desde Spain Sevilla

Exquisite drawing and the conversation just flowed so freely. A good connection.

That was really nice - the drawing, the conversation, all of it. I hope your exhibition opening went well, and it's another step up for you.

Devon, you’re amazing! The drawings, the humility and the good-nature that shows in your personality with everyone you meet. Success personified. And Fiona was a great model with good conversation.

This format is super unique! It's all you, Devon; and I can't wait to see the next one. Well done, man! Keep it real and flowing. You've tapped into a charge of life here, adding the interview of the subject. I'm a fan, man! Davi

The stories of the lives of everyday people are so rarely told and so often forgotten by time. Everyone has a story, their story, and I feel like this long-form interview (with a twist) format could really be something wondrous. I hope you continue.

Hope you do more of these. Knowing a bit more of your subject gives even more life to your drawing.

Здравствуйте Девон. Это новый и очень интересный формат ваших видео. Это мвоего рода мини-интервью у простых людей. Мы видим не просто рисунок человека, но и узнаем немного о нём самом и о его жизни!!!! МОЁ ПОЧТЕНИЕ!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

A good conversation between two artists while drawing the interviewee... I like that! More of this, please. Thank you.

Bro, you're literally a therapist, a philosopher, and an artist all wrapped into one. Much respect, bro. 🙏🏽

Amazing Talent Devon, I enjoy watching all your videos. You putting a smile on people's faces is priceless. God Bless U!

Amazing artist. I love your interview with the beautiful young lady I perceived as very grounded. Wish you the best with your art show; you deserve it, man.

I really enjoy your videos and your artwork. The joy you bring to so many people with your talent is fantastic.

this is absolutely amazing! She was so blown away by your work, I dont think she could properly convey how much she loved it! Quick tip for the cinematographer: It seems the camera facing her was in wide AutoFocus mode, which is why it was struggling to keep her in focus (common issue when background is brighter than the subject). Kindly ask your cinematographer to use eye detect (or face detect) focus mode to avoid camera hunting for the subject. If that doesnt work, turn on the focus peeking mode and adjust the focus manually. As always, keep up the great work! Kudos my friend!

Maybe even more than your artistic talent, I admire your willingness to just interact with people. I'm the opposite way; I prefer to be alone at all times. But I recognize the value in getting to know a stranger even a little bit, and I think people respond to your genuine attempts to connect. I'll continue to live vicariously through your videos!

I can relate to your comment but being alone at 67 is wearing thin 😐

Devon, you are an incredibly talented artist, and a beautiful soul. I hope that you are celebrated, appreciated, and rewarded, in every way.

I like this…getting to know the people…relaxed atmosphere…you’re a good person my friend…

Love these videos. You are so talented. The shorts do not bring out the people who you are drawing, this is so refreshing to hear people and their stories. Hopefully, they can have a voice or a chance at their dream through your platform.

You are an amazing artist. You have a beautiful soul. You touch a persons heart with your art and your conversations.

I chanced upon your site and you're an amazing artist. I especially like this one not only because of the beautiful b&w artwork but the conversation between the two of you. This IS truly reminiscence of old times true conversation instead of looking into the phones. Of course, not everyone are like that. Bless the lovely lady and you, too.#devon💙🕊

I'm loving these interviews! And of course your artwork is always fantastic! ❤ I hope all is going well with the art show! 🎨🖼😊

Devon brings a lot of happiness to the world. That is an art that should never be underestimated.

She’s very pretty, your art work makes her look even more beautiful. Great job!

Unbelievable talent and such a great person. Thank you Devon, for making the world better. Seriously. Thank you! ;-)

Dude! You just found your niche!!!! Your interview influenced your interpretation of her in your sketch. Absolutely amazing sir!

This so cool, that you point the spotlight on a stranger and let them tell their story! I’m so loving that!❤

Wow! I really am amazed by artists like you that can truly bring his portraits to life

That was hard to do, asking questions, processing her reply, doing a follow-up while sketching! Whooo! You're great indeed, Devon Rodriguez!🥰💖💕

Devon ... your work is amazing. I actually would love to talk to you about doing a sketch of a wonderful friend, who lost her battle with cancer. Due to long health battles she didn't like having her photo taken. Her sister misses her terribly and now faces her own health battle. Bottom line if I can afford it I would like to commission a sketch from a photo and gift that to her sister. I will also try to find an email or other contact. Truly inspiring work and I know it would mean so much to her sister. P.S.: if it was not for my friend who recently passed I would have died in 2019 or 2020 ... she saved my life when I had no where to go. By all rights she should still me here.

I like this new approach to sketching people. Engaging conversation opens up new chapters about both the subject & Devon.

Девон, ты волшебник!) Благодарю за позитив!😊🎉

Devon you are truly amazing! The love and joy you bring to people's lives with your talent is so great! May you be blessed in abundance in all ways!

Hey Devon, I am no art expert or anything, but I believe that you are an artist through and through.

Devon, you’re a down to earth good man! The world needs more of you in it! Great things are coming your way sir!

I really like this young woman. And also her name is beautifull. May all good people succeed. ... Love from Pakistan.

I'm a proud grandma.this young man reminds me of my grandson just about his age.This young man is very kind and well mannered.H3 has touched my heart deeply..Many blessings to him and his family.

WOW.very gifted. And the young lady is a very beautiful soul.

What a gift this man is. The world is such a better place with him in it.

He NEVER disappoints. What an AMAZING young man. Such a credit to this country. If only we had a bunch more of him. Bright blessings to him.

Devon, you are so warm and compassionate. She’s a beauty!

Devon is incredibly an amazing artist who can draw real life models regardless of the places/venues whether it is in a subway train or in a park. I'm a very proud fan of yours Devon. Good luck 🍀 and God bless you more 🙏

She inspires life and happiness! Hope she remains like this forever

What a pleasant conversation... and you have blessed another person with your gift!

She's a beautiful woman and you captured her perfectly. Stunning!

God given gift, amazing person with extraordinary talent out of this world. Much success.

Please, show us more of these kind of interviews. This one was wonderful. She is a beautiful person who has Dreams and wishes. Go on on the road you're walking now! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I was sitting here happily listening and slightly concerned that the drawing wasn't evolving as I expected. Latter stages wow, WOW!! And yes dammit I shed a tear when she saw his work 😢❤

He is so talented and she is so pretty! Wishing good things for you both!

This is my favorite of your videos by far! It's so beautiful to see more of your drawing process and I also loved the conversation! Thank you for sharing this!

Two beautiful young people.❤ Wish them both every happiness and success in their endeavours

Not just an artist but a heartwarming genuine human being.

This woman has it all and Devon captured every bit of it.

Your gift goes far beyond drawing but more importantly, touching hearts.

what a beautiful lady and a beautiful piece of art thank you Devon for drawing such an amazing piece of work. ❤❤❤

What a unique natural beauty with a lovely personality!The drawing of her is fantastic !

Thoroughly enjoyed ! Never cease to amaze with your incredible talent.

You make people days Devan .I'm so proud of you good work ..🙏👍

AWESOME..GREAT .. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Incrível como ele é um artista q consegue captar a essência das pessoas... isso se torna algo implícito em seus desenhos... é o msm q conferir alma às suas ilustrações. Acho isso simplesmente espetacular.

Just beautiful. The whole video is just Beautiful.

I loved this interview. This girl is delightful. I'm a great fan of your work. 🌻

You are not only a great artist, you are also articulate especially with the way you interview people with whom you are creating an art too. Like your questions are really interrelated from the first to the final question till your painting is done!!!! What an awesome talent you have!

Thanks for giving such happiness to people ❤

Your the most awesome artist I've ever known, you serve as our inspirations, everyone can appreciate your arts. your close to photograpy Man. your the best.

Your gift is being able to beautifully capture the look of people and also their spirit in a particular moment of time, like a timestamp of their life in a pencil drawing or colorful painting. Like a true master, you make it look easy.

Absolutely blown away!!!! Devon you are truly an amazing artist!!!

What a good soul, good vibes. I enjoy his approach. And damn is he an exceptional artist. Best...

Your capture of the ambience, virtually the soul of the people you draw never ceases to amaze. Thank you.

I admire people with that much artistic talent...
