When GhanaWeb’s Etsey Atisu asked Enil Art, the artist who has become popular for surprise-sketching strangers in public buses, how long it takes him to draw these people, he shared details on how he actually even does his drawings.

From telling the host of SayItLoud on GhanaWeb TV that he once sketched a trotro mate in 18 minutes, he also explained what he says is no special ability of his, which allows him to be able to appear this perfect.

He was also quick to add that none of that comes easy because of all the meanderings that happen in the public buses most of the time.

“The fastest was 18 minutes… because the trotro is moving, you have to be careful about each stroke and all that. So, 18 minutes… it’s really stressful; strenuous… yeah, but I have to get it.

“… I’m not that special; I take a video, I freeze one of the frames and I look on my phone and draw,” he explained.

Enil Art also detailed other aspects of his life, his motivations for towing this line of art, and what he expects for his future.
