I don’t understand how police sketch artists are so accurate from a person’s description. To be honest, I feel like I couldn’t adequately describe my best friend’s physical appearance well enough for a sketch artist to draw it.

The big core thing is that sketch artists aren’t doing it the same way that e.g. an AI would do it. It’s actually [not all just](https://people.howstuffworks.com/police-sketch.htm) from verbal description, it’s a back-and-forth between the artist and the witness where the witness can point out specific discrepancies in the drawing. Also, it’s not actually all that accurate.
