Police Sketch Artist : The Answers

-By Dan dos Santos

On Saturday, I shared with you the results of a drawing game we made up called ‘Police Sketch Artist’. Several people took a stab at guessing who the celebrities were, and many were very close! Below are the answers.

Congrats to our reader, JRBarker, who managed to guess 6 of them correctly!

  1. I would list them if I could remember. But drinks were flowing and there were a LOT of people drawing. This is only half of what we drew.
    The only ones I remember for certain are:
    1. Rebecca Yanovskaya
    4. Travis Lewis
    7. Dan dos Santos
    8. Winona Nelson
    9. Don Maitz
    10, Lauren Cannon

  2. Neither here nor there on the topic, but one fascinating thing I picked up from a radio interview with a police sketch artist was that their real skill lies in helping a witness tap into details which had slipped below their conscious recollection.
