Time for another blast from the past. [plus I don't have any new work to post today] If you read the Police Bulletin,[just click to enlarge] you can see this guy climbed into a young girl's room. He removed some of his clothing and it was obvious what he intended to do to the sleeping girl.
Fortunately, the father heard something and was able to confront and chase the guy out of the room before anything happened.
I believe the father described this picture. Which is pretty good for the circumstances and for the little time he was able to see his face. His identification was later confirmed by the DNA he had left matching to his on file.
The sketch is not great because the detective Xeroxed the sketch instead of scanning it like I recommended but this is the actual bulletin distributed for the suspect.

No kidding, Sheila...you do better at getting a likeness from some other person's memory than I can looking at his photo.
Wow Shela, you really do have a nack for faces. What a talent.
Yep, this gal got skills! ;)
I would have recognized this fellow on the street from your sketch. What an amazing process!!!
This is a very cool process! You have amazing skill and talent Sheila!
Interesting work, Sheila. Your personal history is facinating. Thanks for sharing your forensic work with the accompaning story! <3
I agree with Stephen - that's the guy!
What an amazing and essential line of work. Do you miss it?

You nailed this guy from verbal description -- amazing! You can do anything in art that you decide to do. Thanks for sharing your previous work. It's good to know that the local police include such talented artists.
another one bites the dust!
Very cool!!! I love it when the bad guys get caught.
An amazing resemblance. You must have a keen intuitive ability Sheila to get this on the money as often as you have.
I wonder about Dean's question too, yet it can't have been an easy job.
I find your previous line of work fascinating, Shiela. Your sketches were spot on!
Your animal paintings are fantastic too...and what a great idea "Art for the Animals" is.
Now that's what I call putting your talents to good use. I've often thought about getting involved with this kind of work. Well done.
The similarity between your sketch and the photo is amazing! One day you'll have to blog about how you translate a person's description into a sketch like this.
Thank goodness he was caught!
