I love how he always says something about what he loves about them. That makes them feel extra special

People keep to themselves on transit(for many understandable reasons)and it’s beautiful how his work suddenly makes a person light up with joy. What a wonderful gift you have.

I used to be a counselor in a therapeutic group home for adolescents. I would draw their portraits and for them it was so affirming to have someone care enough to do that. Love your work.

Not only are you awesome at your drawings. The smile you put on everyone of their faces. That’s amazing spreading the joy!

Ed Sheeran didn't lie. He just said "I get that a lot" and smiled kindly. He's alone on the subway and afraid of getting mobbed so he gave the best answer he could which was sweet really.

We need more people like Devon to make people happy.

It's amazing how you tap into the desire for all of us 'just to be seen'. You bring countless moments of joy to each individual you draw and a multitude of smiles to those of us that watch the videos.

I really admire how he manages to catch the special beauty of every person in his drawings.

I love the way you let ed Sheeran be able to feel more comfortable by just saying “you look a lot like him” instead of immediately letting him Know you knew it was him. It might’ve been a relief to him to just have that small interaction than a huge fan one

Ed Sheeran's reaction "I get that all the time" 😊 I wouldn't be surprised if he got you to do some album art for him!! Your artistic talent is off the charts with all the detailing you capture so quickly and it's such a joy seeing everybody's reactions, especially when they're not interested in being given a flyer until they see the drawing 😂

Not only is Devon a talented artist, but he is also a polite, friendly and humble person. I love the way he points out something he likes about every person he draws. Keep spreading the love, Devon!

Just had 2 random Ed Sheeran NY videos pop up today. And they were probably filmed on the same day cuz it’s the same outfit. This one. And he visited a guy who apparently when viral singing his songs in the subway to give him free tickets. Both Ed and Devon are awesome. Just good people with amazing talent.

I Love How He Always Gives Them Complement Also I Love This Guy ❤️

I am a grown man and these videos make me teary eyed with emotion. Devon, the whole world needs you brother..you are a brilliant artist and human being.

It meant so much to that woman at 2:35. That stuff gives me life man. Making the world a better place one step at a time.

Making people happy with your talent is so awesome. Not only talented but also polite and kind to people. The world needs more people like you.

It's more than a drawing, it brings happiness to people. He's mega talented and uses it to make peoples' day!

I love your work, Devon, and how you put a smile on people's faces...

Dear Devon, not only are you an amazingly gifted artist, but you are a truly kind soul. You make people happy, you find something positive to say to people about their appearance, total strangers, anywhere. And that is priceless, my friend. You spread joy throughout the world and make people smile. May God bless you abundantly for your gift to us.

I cried watching this (no sh*t). Your talent is next level!!! No posing, no interaction, just pure creativity at it's core. Total respect.

Devon is making The World Brighter with One Drawing At a Time....But Those Memories Last Forever! Thank You Devon! Cheers To All in here like me who can barely keep their crayon inside the lines of Life's Coloring Book!😂

Best one yet that Ed sheeran drawing was amazing great collaboration!

Love your laugh man... You seem like a great man... Keep spreading smiles across the humanity

Such a lovely gesture to bring happiness to the NY passengers. Devon , your kindness is such a treat.

Devon's drawings bring people together. Its wonderful. He's AMAZING. Ed Sheeran definitely.

Devon , I would come to nyc and ride the subway just to meet you and watch you draw people. You’re so talented! Brightens up my day to watch you draw ✍️ and peoples beautiful reactions to your gift.

I have never seen anyone break through the “Subway Code of Silence” in such a beautiful way. You found something universal. The delight in all the different faces !

So blessed to have such a wonderful talent that bring joy and happiness to so many people, respect.

you could do the same videos over and over and id never get bored! 🙏 love your work man

Really cool that you drew Ed Sheeran and admire your Drawing and kindness to People wherever you go 👏👍❤

I love the fact that you giggle and laugh each time you present your drawing as a gift. Sooooo nice!

It’s beautiful how you’re going all around and not only putting a smile on many people’s faces, as well as sharing your talented gift and a compliment, too

Ed Sheeren @Haleybayley and Annabelle Rene plus so many other beautiful souls. So awesome Devon. Love your work! Thank you for putting Ed first and not making him the last person in the video as some might do.

Love your artistic ability and how how you use it to spread happiness.

You're a great artist and you make people smile. Two great talents.

Besides Devon's skills, I just love the reactions from his subjects.

Yes, this is what I love to see. I love to hear and see their reactions to your amazing drawings.

This talent of yours is like a super power, you can make anybody smile, i love it

Not only does he give them an amazing gift but always a compliment to go with it. The world needs more Devon.

Immer wieder genial!👍🏼 Dankeschön, dass du mit deiner Begabung so vielen Menschen Freude bereitest☺️❤️🍀🍀

You have incredible talent, Devon! How lucky those people you've drawn and had the chance to meet randomly a great artist of themselves, like you.😊❤

Honestly, a drawn picture by you would be the best keepsake that someone could take home from NYC. ❤

Взрослые люди, полностью погруженные в ритм городского бытия, мгновенно превращается в озёрных детишек, радуются как новогоднему чуду. То что Вы делаете, это не вероятно!!! Ваш талант помноженный на улыбки благодарных людей и наши скупые слезы сентиментальности, это что то совершенно новое, другое в этом сером мире. Добра Вам, автор, и глубочайший привет из России!

I love he always gives them a compliment.. cool guy.

I love how happy you make people feel.

I love how Devone always compliments the person above the fact that he draws them! You're amazing Devone!

Incredible that a stranger paints you in the subway but for the artist the best payment is the reaction of the people I think that is priceless 😊

incredible. Everyone likes being recognized. The one woman said it made her day and you could really tell it did. I imagine there often isn't much time to complete a portrait so you have to be quick which is even more amazing. What a wonderful way to share such a talent.

I like the ones who get so excited they show it back to him, like he didn't just draw it. Also sweet are the ones who ask if they can keep it Great job spreading love, Devon

How did I not find this channel until today? Devon is insanely talented and genuinely nice!

Watched through the video and in the and realised I was all smiles! You are not just the artist but also the therapist! God bless you! 😊

I love that each individual may have a different response but everyone understands and appreciates the artistry involved in what he's doing. Truly an amazing individual.

You are a very gifted person, not only in talent,but also in your giving heart, bringing smiles to those you meet and we who are on line, Thank you for sharing your wonderful gifts making our days brighter. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!

Not only talented, I love to see all your results, but bringing a smile on each of your "models" and that is the greatest, thanks for giving lost of fun watching!

This U-tuber makes people smile and show their beautiful side.

I love how you get people to talk with you and each other. We need more of this in the world. Thank you! Beautiful!

Great job, Devon !!! Bravo !!! 🇧🇷

He gets 100% "smile" reactions! *Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!* Nice job *Devon Rodriguez. You are very talented.*

Hermano déjame decirte que lo que haces está fuera de serie! Admiro la gran humildad que tienes sabiendo el talento tan enorme que tienes... Gracias por regalarnos ese talento, quizás algún día vengas a Colombia y hasta me dibujas! Gracias Gracias. Dios te bendiga

Watching these never gets old! Not ever! I love how not only are you giving them a beautiful gift but the way you always compliment them too! So beautiful!

I never get tired of watching these Devon. You are obviously talented, yes ...but YOU are the gem here & will likely never truly know the impact you are making on so many lives, with these brief interactions of kindness, to so many. May God bless you & please keep spreading the love! 🤟

You deserve 10 times the number of subscribers you have. Not just for your talent, but your kindness in sharing it.

You are so talented but most of all, you make everyone smile, you're amazing 🤗

You spread happiness wherever you go. What a wonderful gift to share your talent.

the BF reaction at 8:40, 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I truly hope these people understand, grasp, what they were given and frame these nicely and hang in a prominent location in their homes, these are of family heirloom value ...Devon's art has value now, more so to those given, but still some monetary...and in years to come, most likely just going to grow in value...a beautiful, personal gift, from a brilliant, young artist..

I love that what you do is see people, and show them how beautiful they are! I'm sure a lot of them don't feel seen or beautiful.

Devon, You are blessed with a gift of drawing portraits and you share it with so many! Thank you

Brilliant artist - remarkable talent - and always puts a smile on the recipient's face! Carry on the great work!!

Such a kind soul. I love this exceptionally talented kid

How beautiful your heart is! Spreading love all over.

Devon, you give so much happiness and love through the portraits you draw, people light up, you give them confidence in themselves, you yourself are so humble! While your drawings are breathtaking, you are much more than a talented artist, you light up the world with your inner beauty! Thank you for all this joy 🤩🥰❤‍🩹💝

How can I NOT love you dude! Thanks for doing this to make this cold world warmer.

what a genuine thing to do for someone you have no idea how much happiness such a small moment like this can have in a persons life i applaud you and your talent

Bro your amazing. I love how you find the beauty in everyone you draw. You also love what you do and people love your work and ya you give these away but it must bring you so much joy to know your work is treasured by all you draw. Oh and you compliment just about everyone even though the art speaks volumes already

His talent is impressive, very realistic drawings. Congratulations Devon Rodrigues 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is amazing. When people keep themselves to themselves these days, just watch how they ‘light up’. Devon, you are a special, talented guy, with a great laugh too. Wishing you a every success in the future.💚

OMG what a wonderful way of working and give others joy❤❤❤

I love 8:42 how he's like "Omg" & you can tell he's being polite (very nice), but then he notices how good the drawing really is "Wait, what??" & immediately begins to smile :)

Great talent and skills!!!love to hear your laughter and see happy faces and smiles of your subjects once you hand them your drawing....keep on drawing God bless

The emotion that fills the subway car is unbelievable. People ae incredibly thankful and moved.

Love the way you tell every person something that you love about them. It says you not only draw them but see them. 💕

Can't believe how many people didn't realise: 1 - it is Ed Sheeran 2 - this is set up Ed is in NYC at the moment and has done a number of promotional activities like this. He met up with the subway singer Mike Yung as he was singing one of his songs in the same clothes he's wearing here. Not telling me those are just coincidences 😂

Bravo Devon, vos dessins sont magnifiques

The smiles you put on peoples faces is beautiful. Your work is phenomenal ❤️
