SKETCH ARTIST

The term sketch artist refers, in the broad sense, to an artist

who creates likenesses of subjects using tools such as
pencil, charcoal and pastels. The term is sometimes
employed to refer to artists who work for the criminal justice
system. These types of sketch artists, also called forensic
artists, produce drawings of suspected criminals and work in
courtrooms drawing scenes during trial proceedings. There
are only a handful of full-time forensic artists in the country;
most forensic artists are freelancers. The competition for
many types of freelance art positions is very intense.
