8. Hats off to courtroom sketch artists. That's one of the most dificult things to do...

as one has to capture reasonable likenesses of several people and their surroundings, while they're moving, talking, concurring with others, and with only scant awareness of, or concern that an artist is trying to capture their image on paper.

I took a figure drawing class once in SF from Howard Brodie, famous for his work in the Gary Gilmore trial. I was pretty good at figure drawing, but the model is right there in front of you, not one obscuring your view, he/she is not moving, shifting weight, talking or doing any of the things that make courtroom sketching difficult.

Instructor Brodie showed us some of his sketches, but from the class, nowhere near the conditions courtroom artists deal with, I learned to really appreciate the difficulty and skill/talent needed to do that job well.
