    I myself have been a good artist for 35 years and he's the best 11 year old I've ever seen...he has god given talent...I really hope he capitalizes on his gift because people with less talent do

    This young boy is an extraordinary talent and his story brought tears to my eyes.😢 I feel sorry for all African people who lives in poverty. Nobody deserves that. He is the best example that we all are created equally, we all have the same potential and we all have same capabilities regardless of skin color, religion and the political orientation. I wish him the best. He deserves best.

      Not to knock your theory because it could be a sham, however he might not be doing one of the full detailed illustrations here.
      For example they knew they were filming this story and they wanted to get something of him drawing. So in this example he just did a quick GESTURE drawing. You don't really go straight into that hyper realistic style without working the kinks out first, hence the quick study drawings.

    • @pavletaa5562
      @pavletaa5562 Před 6 lety +4

      The fact that we didn't see the evidence of him doing the drawings doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't do them. Most artist like to show the final product and not the process. The process takes a loooooooot of time and sometimes it's very intimate for them. I, personally, hate drawing in front of people, too. I do it when it's necessary (in class or when I'm drawing from life, for example) but I strongly prefer doing it in the comfort of my own. Plus, it's easier to concentrate and I feel much more inspired when I'm alone.
      With all that said, even if this really is a scam, it's just not fair to blame all nigerians for this, that's literally the definition of discrimination. That's an individual case and doesn't apply to all nigerian artists/people.
