What the hell do you mean free 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the guy makes thousands per week through making these videos of giving it away. Can you imagine if he showed them the painting in a video and said $20 please 😂😂😂 bro he would lose all his following and respect. Stop giving people too much credit.

I’ll probably never meet Devon Rodriguez on the 6 train, but he’s got a big fan in South Jersey - not only for his brilliant artwork, but for the positivity he radiates through his passion and humanity. Keep doing what you do, Bro.
Talents, dedication and years of practice= Devon...he is great 👍

Desde Chile, un gran abrazo para ti Devon.
I'm an artist and I know some very talented artists and masters. There's absolutely no way you can produce a painting so detailed in so little time. So it's either he's got superhuman abilities or it's all staged.

Yea, it’s actually really sad and pathetic to see him on the news straight up lying about the time it takes…lying about the process/location. Everything is pre set up, he’s not painting on the subway yet he’s dubbed as a “subway artist”. The reactions of the subway “models” is also fake because it was all drawn or painted prior to the videos he shares. The paper the drawings are on aren’t even attached to the sketchbook. When questioned about the process he either ignores/deletes comments or lies. 🫤

Devon you have an Almighty God given gift, you are truly blessed, also you are very humble 🎉 with an amazing Grandma ❤
Wish he had been chosen as the artist to do portraits of King Charles and Princess Kate, you can be sure he would have captured everything about them, their energy, strength, love, compassion, the gleams in their eyes - just everything.
Cool guy. Glad for his success
This guy is so nice.
Great Artist 🎨Amazing Artworks 👍 Cheers 😺
so happy for Devon to get attention for his drawings , taking him this far , really hope he gets what he deserv .
All you need is a pencil and paper and 10,000 hours of practice. Very talented young man.
Its amazing how people don’t realise that they are being drawn when he sitting there drawing and being filmed for his Tik Tok videos….
Realmente ele e fantastico.
GOD BLESS YOU
Hi Devon,you are are good men,never stops
Love love love.....Que d'Amour vous offrez à c'est braves gens qui croisent votre route. Dans tous les cas la votre est entrain de ce tracée. Merci pour votre générosité. Danie Marie. Que Dieu vous garde.

How can I get proportions correct
God-bless you and a beautiful talent that the Lord gave you to use and I would like to know what do. You? Do to start drawing the way you draw and how long would it take to learn that process of drawing? I love art also and basically. I used to draw regular at high school and my grades would straight a's and art. But I never got into drawing like you draw. So what are the most important things that we should? Do you draw when you have that beautiful talent?
Chào Devon rodriguez ơi ơi tôi chào bạn nha tôi rất ngưỡng mộ khâm phục bạn có đôi tay ✋ thật sự là tuyệt vời chúc bạn thành công trong lĩnh vực nghệ thuật nhé 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💯

I wouldn’t mind having a drawing of myself by him. I would frame it.
Would it be awesome to like invite Devon to meet all the people he draw at a convention to see if they still there drawings.
I don’t think anyone he has drawn give him an attitude or unappreciated. Everyone, no matter what race, age, or creed, they all appreciate his work.

Or they just agreed to be drawn in advance. How is it possible to draw someone on a moving subway, with the lurches and motions, and come up with a good drawn picture in 30 minutes....assuming your subject didn't get off sooner?
👍
Devon is such an extraordinary artist! Love him so much!
Hang on to those sketches. They'll be worth a lot of money 1 day
This guy deserves everything good that comes his way. He is making people smile.

I aspire to your le vel of talent. Maybe someday
Yeah who doesn't enjoy seeing these totally legit reactions of paid models which look like they belong to the same circle of freaks (which they do). And his magical oil paint that dries within seconds, so unique no other artist ever had it. And him drawing in what's probably the most stable and smooth subway train in the world, I bet people don't ever stumble here, so lucky. And him so accidentally bumping into celebrities with their portraits ready, my guy is a winner. Then, from time to time, him sketching some conventionally attractive randos, which happen to be extremely famous tiktokers (yeah they totally use subway), but my boy is not chronically online like we all are. He does not know them. And him selling courses on how to go viral has absolutely nothing to do with anything. All he has is his pure talent. For scamming people.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
wow i draw a charcoal face too but it take for me a week to finish.

Where have you been? The morning network programs have been ‘infotainment’ for decades. You want simply news, go to exclusively news channels. 🤷🏻♀️
So what happens if he decides to draw that person and their stop is next? 😅
He is a complete fraud, but a talented artist no doubt. I have no respect for him for selling this false idea to his audience that he is doing these drawings/paintings on the subway of "strangers" in a single ride like it is presented. Surely more people have to see this right??
