You wouldn't believe how many people go through life feeling like they are not even seen. Once my wife was working in her shop when she commented to an older lady, who was always beautifully turned out each day, how lovely her outfit was. The lady immediately choaked up and looked tearful. My wife concerned she may have said or done something to inadvertantly upset her asked if she was ok. The lady informed my wife that was the first time anyone had commented on her appearance since her husband had died 4 years previous. She thanked my wife and left the shop with a smile. Sometimes the smallest things we do can have the biggest impact on someones life. Never underestimate the importance of what you do and say to people. Always act with love and kindness x

You make someone feel like the star of the show, you make them feel important. While it may look like just a drawing, it really is so much more. ♡

What marvels me about this videos is how people put down all their walls when they look at their drawing. No matter how tough, serious, extravagant, etc, they all become a pile of smiles and thanks, some even tears. I will keep on watching them. Thanks !!!

You can hear in his voice how much he loves surprising and delighting people with his talent. His little laugh as he hands it to them. 💕

I LOVE how you compliment everyone 💜 I taught my daughter to always find one nice about someone and let them know. She’s been doing this since she could speak. She’s almost 13 now. She has received so many hugs and happy tears from people throughout the years. You never know that split second of time could do for someone’s life. Game changers.

The way their faces is light up after given a portrait of themselves brings me so much joy 😊!!

Can I just point out how priceless and lovely was the first woman's reaction? She was so excited and kind🥺❤️

Ты делаешь людей счастливыми) превращаешь обычный серый день в особенный) они будут носить этот день в самом сердце) ты даришь не просто рисунок, ты возвращаешь им самих себя) настоящих) твои рисунки великолепны!))))

I love how this young man, has countless video drawings of strangers, and in every last one of them he gives a kind gesture of a compliment to make them feel comfortable. He's so endearing.

I would love to have someone so talented to draw a portrait of me when I'm on the subway. Definitely would have framed it and gave the artist a big hug💞

I love how you always look like you're enjoying yourself while you're drawing. You're such a great example of "do what you love." Super inspiring. 💖

This is so beautiful! We need more people like this to make our lives better, just like we do to others! Thank you for these wonderful pictures and people's reactions to them! 🥰

Mannnnn, Devon....I could watch these types of reveals and reactions FOR HOURS!! Keep doing this bro. You're bringing joy to a world that desperately needs this level of humanity! 🙏

Devon, you're not just an incredible artist, you're a shining example of decency. You put smiles on the faces of strangers and brighten their day. Great work brother!

Devon..Eres increíble... Eres un artista nato, deberías de firmar tus dibujos para que la gente sepa quién eres y lo talentoso que son tus dibujos... Saludos desde Colombia hermano.

Love to see their faces light up. Bringing joy. What a gift that is.

I love Devon...spreading so much love and smiles with his incredible gift!

All I can say is I love this. The beauty of art reaches right into the heart and soul.

Боже! Какой же ты талантливый! Какой позитивный! Твой непосредственный и открытый смех обескураживает.. обезоруживает.. завораживает.. Дари нам себя снова и снова! Ты лучший в своем деле! ❤️❤️❤️

Парень талант. Так точно передаёт все черты. И дарит людям хорошее настроение. 👏

Devon, i suggest you to make an exhibition of your sketches and ask everyone who got drawn by you to send a copy of theirs. It would be nice

This is so wholesome and heartwarming. Devon is a real talent.

I am completely blown away by your ability to transform what at first looks like a smudge into something so alive and beautiful. Congratulations talented man!

The authenticity of the artists is so genuine but so are the reactions..random acts of kindness empathy sympathy and compassion are priceless.❤🙏

Your sketching skills are on another level!! Keep it up!!

His caricature not only resembles the person in front of him, but also expresses his personality. The person who received the caricature looks happy and I enjoy watching it.🥰

This goes way beyond talent & skill. He actually captures the essence of the subjects. His art goes to the soul. It is an absolute gift that is used in an amazing way.

Человек дарит людям улыбку, позитив, самое главное...

Devon, just amazing. You are really talented and the way you capture everyone's essence is, well, amazing. You make everybody so happy. What a gift.

This dude is not only super talented but also seems like a genuinely nice guy.

I just love this sweet man. He brings a smile to everyone he meets with his beautiful art. Thank you for sharing.

It's so amazing how much emotion you can capture in an instant! You are a fantastic artist. You make so many people happy, thank you for spreading such joy ❤️

Devon, you are a very talented artist, merry Christmas

Получила огромное удовольствие от просмотра. Большое спасибо! Замечательный художник! Быстро! Точно! И все на портретах очень красивые! Браво!

You are extremely talented! You have no idea the impact you have made on those people's lives. Such a gesture means the world to them and you clearly make them feel good about themselves. Thank you for the kindness you shows others. You're truly an inspiration ❤

I cry with each response. Everyone just wants to be seen. To know they've connected with another human in some way. Keep drawing. It brings so many happy smiles.

I still can't get it how he draws them so fast with so much perfection 😅👏❤️😊 truly talented man

The first lady who looks like a model is stunning. I love how excited she is as well as her doggo baby ❤

Love how you make so many people feel happy about themselves with your art. Awesome!

I can't stop smiling when I watch your videos. You spread joy all around you!

You bring so much happiness to people, every time I watch one of your videos it makes my eyes water with joy. 😊😊 thank you for what you do.

This is on the same level as playing music and making people happy or whatever else you want to equated to such a wonderful artistic thing to do and make people happy God bless you!!!

I love it he has the most positive genuine comment about their appearance their individuality who they are.... Yudala take his joy and capturing all that in his drawings. Love these!❤️

This is emotional to watch. Caring is sometimes as simple as seeing someone. Purely amazing!

The power of paper and pencil makes people smile. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. I am watching from Japan.

I have been sketching portraits for as long as I can remember. The way a pencil shading sketch can bring out the minute intimate details of a person blows my mind everytime. We go by living life tuning out the details in order to get to the next task. But sketching a portrait is essentially an act of pausing and observing. Unlike object sketches or nature sketches, human faces have a limited set of features. However there are infinite variations of expressions, mannerisms, birthmarks and so many other countless details that uniquely characterise a face. Really love this series especially people discovering themselves through a stranger's eyes. Something that's a very rare occurance in most people's lives. This is so heartwarming and wonderful to watch ❤️

Are not only talented, but compassionate. You give so many people great joy.

Man, Ive been going through a TOUGH time lately..been hurting real bad.....these videos ALWAYS brighten my day and make me feel better. Thank you Devon, much love from California.

There's a beautiful undeniable aura about people who do what they love doing. But Devon is different: he makes people loved as well. And more than anything, I love how you always have a compliment to each and every one of them along with their portraits. This man is a gift ❤️🧡💙

Я в полном восторге! За короткое время парень создает шедевры! Нет слов - ТАЛАНТИЩЕ👍👏

Devon, you are very talented!!!! You made everyone you drew, feel special. You have a special gift you share with others. You give them a beautiful version of themselves!!!!

見ず知らずの人をこんなに幸せ＆ほっこりさせるサプライズはないですね✨ Devon Rodriguezさん素敵すぎる♪😊

You have an amazing talent and seeing the joy on people's face when you give them their picture is awesome. Everyone needs to be seen and feel like they matter and you make it happen.

OMG, Devon, you're definitely an Angel without wings drawing all these people and surprising them with the most beautiful gift hun, keep smiling!! 👍🙏😇💕

I love how you make these people FEEL beautiful by taking the time to draw them and showing them the effort you put in. It's so nice seeing their otherwise bored-looking faces light up :)

You're so gifted to be able to draw exactly what you saw in real-time. That's simply amazing

Brings so much joy to his subjects. If I could draw 1 percent like Devon I’d be happy. 😊

I wish I was like you. Not just the art, but the ability to make people so happy. You make the world a better place.

Очень хорошие вещи делает этот парень для людей, и смех очень приятный, низкий поклон тебе человек. Быть добру!

The smiles that the people have when he hands them their picture is unbelievable very heartwarming

Love your drawings They should be in a gallery with all their different expressions

I often wonder if, in your acts of kindness, you comprehend that that piece of paper with the likeness that is so realistic, could someday be such a precious memory to the recipient or their loved ones? The sharing of your talent has already benefitted so many. Thank you for sharing yourself and your videos.

Hi Devon, really luv your portraits. They are so realistic, capture people's charm/uniqueness (soul) and sooo fast. they are mini works of art. think you should sign them with your @ handle and date when you hand them out. Well done 👍

The speed to which he draws is beyond impressive.

Not only are the portraits really good and detailed, the speed at which you must have to do these on subway trips is incredible.

Devon's videos never fail to make me smile, the joy he brings to people is priceless, in today's world of selfishness and greed he is a shining light of good 👍

I am so impressed with how quickly and accurately this person can draw a person they barely even know… like how?? 🤨

Your drawing talent and skill is so extraordinary, filled with such sensitivity- capturing the essence of each person you draw. Thank you so much for sharing with who you “draw”, and the rest of us.

So sensitively drawn. They feel loved by how you honoured them. Kindness in motion. ❤

Какой талантливый парень! Часто смотрю его ролики.Сколько радости он доставляет простым людям.УДАЧИ !!!👍👍👍

Ver a surpresa, a alegria, a lágrima, estampadas no rosto das pessoas não tem preço. Enquanto o desenho está sendo feito, as expressões de cada olhar me parecem realistas. Parabéns!

Это так трогательно... Реакция людей на твой подарок - это бесценно... 🙏

The genuine joy and happiness you bring people is so beautiful. You are a talent and so generous to share your gift with strangers. And I love that you always smile and laugh and compliment them. What a great thing to do for strangers.
