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.

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

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.

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.

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 are you awesome at your drawings. The smile you put on everyone of their faces. That’s amazing spreading the joy!

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!

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

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 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.

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

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.

Whenever you think the world just sucks, take the time to watch a Devon video and you'll feel a lot better.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!😂

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

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.

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.😊❤

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

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

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

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

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.

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 😊

I love how happy you make people feel.

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

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

That 100% was Ed Sheeran and he had the sweetest reaction - spoke no lies! I love the slo-mo hahah

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 !

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Devon, you make these people so happy...and i get so happy seeing the connection this creates. It makes me see how beautiful people really are when they open their hearts to each other through acts of kindness.

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

Devon, you're a great man. Healing the world with art...no better calling. Thank you.❤

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.💚

Each person you present your sketches too has such a beautiful smile. You made them happen.:)

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 :)

I just love seeing everyone's reaction! So sweet. He makes people so happy!

Such a beautiful gesture. You draw them with such affection and humanity.

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

We love you, Devon! Keep on drawing and spreading love into the world. 😘 XOXO

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.

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! 🤟

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 😂

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

There is something incredibly humbling in his gift, the heart felt honour of it is instantly recognisable in each and every one of them.

Felicidades Devon , regalas alegría a muchas personas.
