It’s going to be hilarious if they catch the guy and he looks just like the sketch.
It’s Chief, from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
Saw the perp on TV just tonite. Know the PSA where the chubby,
lazy white kid interupts his video game to phone his grandma
in the next room to see if she will bring him another grape soda?
That’s the guy.
"Is this the man who assaulted you?"
"That looks like a Peanuts character"
LOL! That’ll take some beating.
But at least she signed her work, right?
Let me help.
The Suspect is an overweight,(oops...can’t say that, can’t draw that) round faced black man (oops...can’t say that, can’t draw that)with a flat nose(oops...can’t say that, can’t draw that), Thick lips,(oops...can’t say that, can’t draw that), dark skin,(oops...can’t say that, can’t draw that), short kinky hair,(oops...can’t say that, can’t draw that) sparse beard and eyebrows,(oops...can’t say that, can’t draw that), prison tats on his neck,(oops...can’t say that, can’t draw that), wearing a hoodie,(oops...can’t say that, can’t draw that), and a mean expression,(oops...can’t say that, can’t draw that)
Perhaps I could be of assistance. I speak Jive.
As a whole the class of 7 students was very good. I’d rate that 5 of the 7 were better raw artists than I was at that stage. As to their sketch of Kim Jong Un, it was pretty good, it wasn’t too long into the exercise before one of them figured out who it was....
Actually it’s a process a lot like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. You have the witness or victim start with the outline of the face (the edge of the puzzle). You work in from there. The victim/witness is provided with a catalog of facial components that breaks the face down into its various parts. Eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth and so on. The catalog was compiled over many years by the FBI although I have also used another one from Miami-Dade P.D. In any event, after selecting the proper headshape, the most important thing for a victim/witness to do is place the eyes/nose/mouth in the right location inside the headshape. Believe it or not, if they get the location correct, the chances of them being happy with the sketch at the end is about 95%.
It is not so important that the victim/witness select the exact features, remember we are only trying to produce a composite that opens up leads, not a portrait that positively identifies someone. Once the headshape, eyes, nose and mouth are all satisfactory to the victim/witness, then it is really only a matter of filling in detail to their specification. This can be tricky with some but it should not obscure the face shape, and eyes, nose and mouth, or what we call the “Triangle of the Face”. Those three features are critical because short of plastic surgery, you cannot alter their appearance unlike shaving or clothing or jewelry.
Really any half competent artist can execute the sketch, the hard part is conducting the interview process, putting the witness/victim at ease and getting the most out of your people skills...
In portrait drawing we were taught that the eyes are in the middle of the head, half way between the eyes and the chin is the bottom of the nose and then half way between the bottom of the nose and the chin is the mouth.
That is the ideal and any thing that is different is what makes for your individual face. That is a simplistic explanation for what we were taught.
I would still like to have taken your class, it sounds fascinating.
