00:00 Trending or being criticized by netizens,
00:03 as long as it's good vibes, it's good news.
00:06 If talent is the only basis,
00:11 go home!
00:13 Because when it comes to drawing,
00:14 there's always a winner.
00:16 When it was said that talent is the only basis for drawing,
00:21 it seems that Dane won everything.
00:24 What she drew
00:26 were portraits of 17 Philippine presidents.
00:30 And this is the amazing thing,
00:32 she drew 17 portraits in just 10 hours.
00:37 This is the talent that is not drawing.
00:40 At first glance,
00:50 you'll think that this house is a museum in Kaluocan City.
00:54 But when you enter, you'll be greeted by...
00:57 beautiful works of art.
01:01 These paintings were drawn by 15-year-old and grade 10 student, Dane.
01:07 This is my workplace.
01:09 This is where I do my artwork,
01:12 like portraits, realism, and more.
01:15 When he was young, he was really fond of drawing.
01:19 My journey in art started when I was 4 to 5 years old.
01:23 My first artwork is different flags from different countries.
01:28 In 2021, Dane leveled up her works.
01:33 Because of her simple drawing,
01:35 she also studied hyperrealism art,
01:38 or the form of art where the works are drawn or painted
01:43 with the details of the subject.
01:45 And at first glance, you'll think it's real.
01:50 That's when I started studying on YouTube.
01:53 It's really hard to copy the reference 90 to 100%.
01:59 This is my first attempt of hyperrealism,
02:03 by Apoang Un.
02:04 After that, she was followed by this woman.
02:08 The topic is about water.
02:10 Until her old house,
02:13 she also earned her living.
02:15 Her works are worth Php 1,500 to Php 10,000,
02:22 depending on the size of the work.
02:23 Commissioning portraits is a big help,
02:26 especially when it comes to my school needs.
02:31 Mommy Ronaldyn is one who supports Dane and her brother.
02:36 It was in 2013 when they separated from their father, Dane.
02:40 That's why Mommy Ronaldyn is for the racket,
02:43 to support the needs of the children.
02:45 Especially the eldest brother, Dane,
02:48 was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
02:52 It was hard at that time because I was an undergraduate.
02:56 More on online selling.
02:57 Then I became a financial advisor of a life insurance company.
03:01 And now, in Grab, it's actually a boundary.
03:07 So, it's a bit of a pressure on my part.
03:10 Her brother also served as an inspiration to Dane.
03:13 I'm the only one who can help her.
03:16 There's no one else.
03:17 So, that's what motivated me
03:19 that I still need to push and work hard.
03:23 Someone asked me to commission a portrait.
03:25 Oh, wow.
03:26 That's great.
03:27 I'll help you with that.
03:28 Mommy Ronaldyn became even more proud of Dane
03:31 when the 17 portraits of the President,
03:35 which were cut by her son, went viral online.
03:37 Congrats, you're really good.
03:40 But wait,
03:42 why did the President of the Philippines
03:44 decide to make a portrait?
03:46 Since I was studying there
03:48 and I was attracted to the culture of different countries,
03:51 that's where I started studying
03:53 and exploring the history of different countries.
03:56 So, let's challenge our fellow citizens.
04:00 Can they guess who these drawings are?
04:03 President Bongbong Marcos, Senior.
04:07 Rodrigo Duterte.
04:09 Joseph Estradiaga.
04:11 Glory.
04:13 Sorry, I'm not sure.
04:14 Aquino.
04:15 Good job to all of you.
04:17 If you thought we're done,
04:21 wait, there's more.
04:23 Dane will just sample her talent.
04:27 Who will she draw?
04:29 There's no one else,
04:34 but me.
04:37 [music]
04:39 In just three hours,
04:45 look at this amazing artwork.
04:48 Let me see.
04:51 You're really good at drawing.
04:53 I made this.
04:55 You made this?
04:57 Let me see.
04:59 It's really nice.
05:01 I think it's even better.
05:03 Oh, that's amazing.
05:06 Is it all pencil?
05:07 Yes, and it's just a brush to make it smooth.
05:10 Really?
05:11 And the white spots are just erasers.
05:14 When did you know you have this talent?
05:16 It was in 2021.
05:18 After the pandemic?
05:19 Yes, I started practicing.
05:22 That's so proud, Mommy.
05:23 What was your reaction when you found out that Dane has this talent?
05:26 I was surprised because I didn't expect it.
05:28 I thought I was just a stickman,
05:30 but I can draw.
05:31 He's at his age,
05:33 and he's really good at it.
05:35 That's why we're amazed.
05:37 Thank you very much.
05:38 It's so funny.
05:39 You did this in three hours.
05:40 Yes, earlier.
05:42 Are you tired of my face?
05:44 Because you've been staring at it for three hours.
05:46 It's so nice.
05:48 Is this mine?
05:49 Yes.
05:50 Really?
05:51 Thank you so much.
05:52 Thank you.
05:53 The talented people.
05:57 Encourage and inspire.
05:59 And you never know,
06:01 this can color the dreams
06:03 that you never thought would come true.
06:06 It's so cool.
