Is not real. look at the first circle he draws... Is not matching the actual painting. He is using models and painting on top of stencils from computer edited pictures.

Devon, thank you for sharing your gift doing random portraits. Everything you do touches our hearts and soul. It means so much to be appreciated. Thank you….

Thank you for your service, for our service members... Godspeed, May you be Blessed over and over again with Gods grace for the good you do. The warm love you spread, and clearly here. Take down ones guard, so that love can touch others wether they know they need it or not. Always happy they did. Amen bro, kudo's. You truly are gifted, it's nice to see someone doing good with their gifts, rather than squander them for a profit. Amen buddy. Thank you

[@jordanicaly1393]

Yes we need more people like him

[@fabienl4979]

nothing is done free. He has really incredible talent and warm talk with the people his draws portrait of. But thanks to his hard working to learn to draw and paint with talent he can certainly live from that through out his drawing course, merch, … He s an artist and it s normal to live from his art by earning money. Every one need money to live.

[@liliavalin2200]

Devon is truly a blessed artist! I thank GOD for giving Devon such an incredible blessing!!! He brings such joy & happiness to all who receives his free artwork made by him!!! God bless him!!!👏🏼🙏🏼

[@evilme1752]

you can easily tell, she had a lot on her mind, she did not want to be disturbed, she was feeling, very down, your beautiful painting, cheered her u pa great deal, well done

[@TheGreeneyes777]

She looked like she was going to cry! Making someone's day is one thing but being told by a random stranger after only 30 seconds of interaction, you made my day, the Joy you feel must be a truly awesome experience!!. Because that is what you bring to these people's lives! Through the Joy and happiness you give them they also feel like they matter and a part of something!!!

[@Bmxbandit261]

People are so quick to brush off other human interaction see here she was starting to wave him off to leave her alone when all he said was "Excuse me miss" and once she saw what it was it made her day....point being if someone comes up to u to say something dont uust ignore or walk by or say no thanks before u even know what their asking, it could change ur day, maybe ur week, ur month, ur year or maybe even ur life!!!!

[@SwordShield777]

O.m.g u draw with so much heart n feeling n I can actually feel how big ur heart really is and there's nothing more in this world for I to want is ppl to actually see the real beauty within all of ourselves and I've noticed when ur taking a ride on the bus the people u pick to draw for some reason are the ones at that moment that r need'n some kind of an uplift of a deep within feeling that is missing? That u can feel,taste,sight,see,hear,n ur big ❤️ n that's the ways I am I just need to get it out like this some way or another ,I will tho! Cuz I'm quite a drawer as well , I can't paint but I can freestyle draw as well ,just haven't drawn in such a long long time u know?? But just wanted to say that I think ur an amazing soul wit a great big heart..luvz
