[@LucasEY]

This is officially my favourite series on the channel now. So much yes.

[@pipopanama]

***** who is Raja's Drag mother? I know one of Raja's daughters is Rhea .

[@hanifwidjayakoesoemah]

***** Who is raja's drag daughters!? :)

[@AlexaExtraordinaire]

Raja and Mathu in the same room. Time just stops at their talent. Love.

[@domesticgoddess1663]

Really wish this would come back as a regular thing - it was really something special

[@glockenrein]

Mathu has such a pleasant voice, I love listening to him.

[@Valreea]

I absolutely love this series and its concept. My only critiques would be 1) the sound. Since this is "sort" of like a talk radio show (since all we can hear are the voices), more emphasis needs to be made on achieving clearer, sharper audio. It sounds too open and its kind of distracting. 2) The lighting. Raja is an incredible artist, but the lighting in the video is much too dark. I don't know if bright artificial lighting would be a distraction for Raja while drawing, so maybe you guys can shoot these videos during the day, near a window where a lot of natural sunlight can shine through. I think those two small improvements would do wonders for this series and really make it fantastic. Love you, Raja! Keep up the fabulous work

[@Johndough30]

I think everything is on point, its dim and the echo is fine tk me, it gives it a much more intimate vibe rather than commercializing it and making it into a scripted show. Theres no point in fixing something that isnt broken. Though critiques are good for improving certain things i just think some things are just right and the way this series is being made be it sound and lighting i think gives it a calm and serene touch.

[@taintedlife2618]

Sound by Gemco...

[@nobodyhasaclue]

And World of Wonder pays you how much?

[@SeanStrife]

Not gonna lie, I thought this could only work as a once a month thing, but I think I'm starting to come around on it being a weekly series. Just sitting there and watching Raja draw and shoot the shit is actually a lot more entertaining than I thought it was gonna be. Keep up the good work.

[@liotie]

Much better than Cher tweets

[@SeanStrife]

William Bear I'm actually indifferent towards Cher Tweets. It doesn't actively piss me off like some stuff does, but I could sit there and just hear Raja shoot the shit all day.

[@MsCherade9]

SeanStrife I wish they would bring the series back! Come on Raja!

[@s.natasha9412]

I love these videos. They make me want to start drawing again. I kind of stopped after I went through this random bout of depression around 5-6 years ago, and on occasion I do sketch some quick drawings here and there, but I haven't taken time to sit down with a proper pencil and a blank sheet of paper in aaaaages. So cathartic, watching these videos and listening to the banter.

[@loretohidalgo3533]

***** I agree, same happened to me but I stopped drawing portraits when I got into University.

[@teresamesa]

same??? i was in uni, i was already unsure of my path, and some of my teachers were so mean to me specifically (as in, pointing me out in a class of 62, using me as an example of 'person who can't draw'), that i stopped sketching daily, stopped practicing quick sketches, and now i only do it when i'm irremediably bored in language classes. drawing for the sake of producing work and for the sake of getting better became triggering to me. and i know i wasn't bad, for every professor who humiliated me, i had one to tell me there was something special in my approach. why do i let ppl get in my head so much???

[@zeegeejay]

It was so cute to hear them compliment each other non-stop.

[@MagicandMantra]

Mathu is just a lovely soul

[@moonlit6311]

Mathu Andersen is the artist I would love to be. How I miss this man. I shudder to think that he's ill. Please, Universe, keep him the flowing river of starlight he is. 💙💄🌠

[@juancabezascaceres]

Raja and Mathu are just a perfect mix, i wish they were my friends to show me all they have inside their wonderful and creative minds. We could be a great trio AHAHAHAH love you guys

[@CRP84]

Raja, you are amazing in so many ways and forms. Love you.

[@AJ_582]

This series is gold

[@travisclau]

This series is easily my favorite. There's something so intimate about watching both a creative process and a kind of intimate sit-down. Really lovely, Raja.

[@damonderby]

Brilliant concept, love it! I could watch Raja do this all day!

[@pedrofanti]

Mathu is just amazing. I always think he's the well succeeded twin of Count Olaf.

[@cybramir]

This is officially my favorite series on this channel tbh

[@ZachariahTheWitch]

This is probably my favorite seres on WOW- aside from James St. James getting done up by other artists. Good job. I want Raja to drawja meeeeeeeee!!!

[@avagreenall4671]

Beautiful people, beautiful art, beautiful sentiment and most of all friendship that'll endure till the end of time. Simple perfection. Good luck Mathu on your WOW store front art exhibition. Much love to you both from the UK xx

[@RedDragon45]

Fascinating. I could listen to these two for hours. Smart men with interesting tales.

[@yescandles]

I agree with Mathu about Ru being much more beautiful now........or should I say when Mathu was still creating "Ru Paul". He has done some exceptionally beautiful work. I REALLY miss Mathu. I love him so much. I will be the first to admit I am a screaming, blubbering, school girl, bonafide fan!!!

[@wesxvin]

raja is so talented! fuck, I wish I could draw that beautifully!

[@josephguarino6455]

"raja you are my friend" you can hear he truly means that and I hope raja is there for him as he struggles with this "thing" as mathu is not doing well with his health these days..he is truly an icon and a star..if RuPaul won't show face..I hope raja will..I love mathu and raja and I truly hope she is there for him..😔

[@MrEquusQuagga]

I could watch this for hours.

[@phernandossilva]

Amei rever depois de 8 anos. Amo Raja e Amo Mathu!!!

[@yeronmyradar]

I loved watching Raja draw while the conversation between two friends went on :). I love the final picture!

[@taitdelorenzo]

This was incredible. Please don't stop this series.

[@artvile2680]

Mathu Anderson is a trail blazer. He needs a life time achievement award and a star in the Hollywood walk of fame.

[@baroza2066]

ah mathu is such an angel

[@Mickles1424]

The awkward moment when I thought Mathu Andersen was from England. Not that awkward as it's really easy to get the two accents mixed up, except that... I'm from Australia :S

[@Dan-B]

how..... :P

[@ladyzandriaa]

hes a classy sounding aussie haha :P

[@Mickles1424]

He must be from South Australia, everyone sounds classier there.

[@LegalVampire]

I'm from England and I thought he was British...he sounds so British! He certainly doesn't have a stereotypical Aussie accent :o

[@Dan-B]

I don't understand....he's clearly from Australia 😝

[@ollywoodx]

What a great way to start of my day at college, love these episodes :)

[@richardpatrickanderson4553]

I miss Mathu's joyous laugh and came here to hear it...

[@ellajanner-klausner1813]

[@mickyyluvsyou]

i’ve been in a hole of mathu anderson videos and genuinely i believe that raja and mathu are two of the most artistic souls associated with drag race. i love this conversation and getting to hear these two speak freely about their artistry. i love it

[@taintedlife2618]

What a pleasant surprise. I'm sick in bed feeling like crap. This cheered me up ☺️

[@SDunforddesign]

Thank you Raja, As someone who sketches faces and characters.. and all that-- This is so inspiring what you are up too. Plus the conversation is intriguing. Raja if you are reading this, thank you for this- just a gem of a show. Also.. I don't know who Mathu Anderson is-- so thank you for the culture!!

[@tommyd7465]

[@Ciaron]

I'm SO glad they mentioned one tiny comment about America's Next Top Model because that was how I learned about Mathu, and then Sutan, when I was a young teen growing up in a suburban paradise! :)

[@luzfigueroa8232]

Who knew Raja was so Artistic.I am impressed.

[@CharlieCabralos]

He's a drag queen...

[@luzfigueroa8232]

CharlieCabralos I know he is but thanks for the info.

[@ImaginaryEvil]

Charlie was trying to say you can't really be a drag queen without being artistic.

[@vseegobi]

I have the same taste as Mathu Andersen?!?! Made my day. Raja is the queen of DR queens!

[@joline7043]

Never stop doing RAJA DRAWJA OMG!

[@baeza1996]

J'adore everything about this.

[@reganwhite5413]

I just need to say that I have a lot of love for this series and I definitely want to see more!

[@janknuckey]

I agree with Mathu so much...even though there are many queens that I adore from RPDR for many different reasons, no one has pounded the runway like Raja.....and when I think which looks made me gag, so many of Raja's are jaw dropping.

[@meowkenzie]

i adore this series so much !!!

[@dustinleebeauty]

I think this is my favorite series that WOW has ever done. I LOVE THIS! Keep it up. SO awesome to see creativity, and hear about people's lives.

[@mat06B27]

[@ashleifylan6255]

Love, true love! What happens with this brand of creativity is epic and precious... and to see these two, (in my opinion) the greatest! Nothing but love 💝 because *its thousands of hours of bloody work*

[@AriaMaxmillian]

I'm a artist as well and I paint goddesses a lot so it's great to see you doing these goddesses with what appears to be such ease and not over thinking like artists can sometimes get with drawing. I love it.

[@airinmartinez7024]

Yes! The best part is "getting ready"!

[@kocoahollis9771]

How dope is this pic? 😍😍😍 this was absolutely great. Love this concept

[@deborahnieling2315]

This is so funny to me..I thought for a long time now that Ru Paul got more and more beautiful...much more then in his younger days...and hearing the same thing from Matthew...makes me kind of happy! And I also agree that Raja also gonna be very beautiful and interesting the older he gets..he is also just this kind of person!!!!👑💄👑💄👑😄😄😄
