@@TizzTv Hello folks I've been doing portraits for 40 years and it's not possible to draw such a detailed picture in such a short time. (see also a perfekt addidas Logo on one of the cap, like a Foto. Video: drawing realistic portraits of strangers on the NYC Subway) . And the final result does not correspond to the filmed preliminary sketch. The actors probably meet twice, or uses other tricks, for example, computer conversion of photos with art filters. But the end result is nice and people enjoy it. But it's not honest!

Once I saw him drawing people from behind on the plane I realized he is addicted 😂 It is quite impressive how he can capture different complexions by pushing harder or lighter on the pencil. And he drew those mini heart tattoos with surgeons hands.

[@Reienroute]

The way you draw these people is so much better than any verbal compliment you could ever give them. You always manage to capture their most flattering characteristics in a way that really shows your genuine appreciation for all types of human aesthetics.

[@KatieKillsjoy]

It’s cool he builds their confidence too. A simple compliment is all it takes for some people

[@jcon1000]

The best part of all your videos is the human interaction. Everyone is so focused on ignoring everything around them, but you get them to engage. Thank you

[@lazs4578]

I don't know why these videos make me tear up... Is it his talent? The way that people change from skeptical to appreciative? Or how sometimes someone is brought to tears for situational or personal issue they may be going through, that I'll never know? Or they're so kind hearted they get emotional at the gesture? The genuine surprise is enough.... I'll just keep watching.

[@ZPerpetua]

Careful, an art critic got death threats from rabid followers for even remotely doing his job and critiquing this guy’s work. Wasn’t even critical, and even mostly positive. This artist is talented, but if he is criticized even a little he sends his rabid fans to harass them on social media like he did to Benstoppable, for literally doing his job. He can’t handle anything even slightly negative. And his fans are just as bad collectively. Telling the poor man they were going to kill him and telling him a thousand different ways to kill himself. And Rodriguez knew and kept sending his followers to over to keep it up.
