Portrait Sketches

I’m not a portrait artist, but occasionally a drawing is close enough that you might be able to use it in a police lineup. I know an artist/jeweler that was robbed in his jewelry store. He sketched the thief from memory for the police. They recognized him immediately and arrested him soon after. If it were me, I’d have to say “Would you mind posing for at least 10 minutes?”


Subtle details of hand poses can be interesting.


A warmup sketch with thick, soft charcoal. Not a portrait, but a nice pose.
