sketch artists

Courtroom visual recorders

Sketch artists create drawings, typically quick studies rather than finished works.

The term most often refers to courtroom artists who draw proceedings where cameras aren't allowed, or to police artists who create suspect portraits from witness descriptions: The sketch artist worked with the victim to produce a composite.

Street sketch artists draw portraits of tourists for tips.
