In TV, the sketch artists who work for the FBI or the police, even if they just work at a minor metropolitan precinct, are talented almost to the point of clairvoyance. They could be taking a description from a drug-addled hobo who saw the suspect for about four seconds from a hundred yards away, and the resulting picture will be so accurate that you'd think the suspect posed for it. In real life, of course, police sketches are somewhat less precise. Also falling under this trope are the experts who perfectly reconstruct someone's face off of four square inches of decaying skull, and computer aging. (In the real world, though, the latter has on occasion proven freakily accurate, making it at least sometimes a case of Truth in Television.) Contrast with Facial Composite Failure. |

Subverted in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit where a sketch artist is told to draw a man with big, dark shades and a hooded sweatshirt. Both Detective Munch and a lead commented that this looked exactly like the Unabomber. | |

Used to varying degrees in the game Hitman: Blood Money. If Agent 47 is not seen in a level, the end-of-level newspaper publishes a sketch that looks nothing like him. The more often he is caught, however, the more the sketch resembles◊ his actual appearance. | |

CSI: NY: Subverted in "Necrophilia Americana." Mac asks a young boy who witnessed a murder to sit down with a sketch artist. He ends up perfectly describing a character from one of his comic books. His traumatic experience caused him to confuse the events in the comic with reality. "American Dreamers": An intact skeleton is more than a decade old, but had been sheltered from the elements. Instead of using any kind of age progression, Aiden draws a pencil sketch before using hands-on techniques to "flesh out" the skull and sculpt the face with clay. Someone who'd met the young man did recognize him but had never gotten his name, plus he had no record and wasn't in any database so they never did identify him, subverting the trope. Aiden's face is reconstructed after her charred body is found in "Heroes". Hawkes uses computer programs to build the face after the flesh is removed from her skull. He knows the technique doesn’t produce exact matches, so when he shows Mac that it was Aiden, he comes prepared with her police records photo and shows him how it matches her skull. This is a real life technique to confirm a match. |

Subverted in an episode of Dexter. The title character has just killed, in cold blood, a man who was about to commit murder; he is now stressed about a sketch being made from a description given by a young witness – the boy who was about to be killed. Dexter gets a glimpse of the image before it is completed; it seems to resemble him and throws him into a further anxious frenzy. However, at the end of the episode the full picture is revealed to be a sketch of Jesus; the traumatized and delirious boy conflated the two as his savior. | |

Parodied again on The Simpsons when they're looking for Homer's mom (a fugitive from the police) - they show someone an old picture of her, and the person isn't sure, and then they say "according to our computer aging program she should be... 25 years older!" with the only thing on the screen being a large number 25. | |

Averted in a scene in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood which briefly shows wanted posters of Yoki, Scar, and Greed. Yoki's is a very close image, which isn't too surprising, given that he was a former state official. However, Greed's is noticeably less accurate, potentially the result of difficulty sketching features like Hellish Pupils and razor-sharp teeth, which aren't normally found on people. BUT DRAWING PORTRAITS IS A SKILL PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS! |

On The Closer, on one occasion, Brenda brandishes accurate pictures of her detectives (who were identified being where they shouldn't be) to prove her point. On other occasion, she's seen grimacing over a ridiculously vague drawing. The strangest version came when her wacky, airbrained sister decided she would describe the killer from her "psychic vision." Incredibly, she successfully describes… Chief Pope. Whom she'd never met. | |

In The Usual Suspects, a sketch artist is brought in to assist in describing the ramblings of a hospitalized, badly burnt Hungarian gangster. Despite the language barrier (with the description being relayed through a translator, for the artist doesn't know any Hungarian while the gangster doesn't speak English), he draws a perfectly accurate picture of Keyser Söze/Verbal Kint. | |

Parodied as well in The Simpsons Movie similar to Wrongfully Accused when they are on their way to Alaska and see a "Wanted!" Poster for themselves. While Marge frantically tries to keep the shopkeeper's attention away from the image, Bart adds weird features to the picture, immediately after which the shopkeeper cries out "Oh my God, there they are!" and a family looking exactly like Bart's modified version of the Simpsons walks in. | |

Subverted in The Order of the Stick, in "C.P.P.D. Blues". A police artist draws two highly-detailed portraits of the lead suspects in a serial murder case (Nale and Thog) from eyewitness descriptions alone – and is immediately fired because his realistic drawings look nothing like the simple art style the OOTS world exists in, rendering them useless for identifying anyone. | |

Double subversion in Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy: at one point, the player takes control of a witness creating composite sketch of Lucas Kane via a computer program. Later on, the player takes control of Lucas when the police show him the sketch asking him if they recognize the person on it. The only response that doesn't increase suspicion is marked "Joke" where he says "Hey, this looks like a lot of people I know! Heck, it could even be me!" to which the officer replies "Yes, I understand. These composites can be a little vague.". However, if the sketch matches Kane's picture 100%, it can be later used as conclusive evidence. Hilariously, the above is still the only non-suspicious response even if you deliberately make the sketch look nothing like Kane. Then again, if some guy you're questioning about a murder starts getting nervous about a composite sketch that blatantly looks nothing like him... That'd be a red flag there. |

In the film Diabolik, Valmont has one of his girls describe Eva so that one of his goons can use a device to create a picture of her. The effect is… interesting to say the least. Aside from the girl giving a very hard to follow description that no-one could possible draw a likeness from, the face on screen appears to change at whim. Why, one could even assume that the images we saw on the device were nothing more than pre-rendered animation, but that would just be silly. And as MST3K points out, one of the women on the screen briefly looks exactly like a female red-haired Hitler. |

NCIS: Like many tropes on NCIS, this is Played With depending on the writer and plot requirements. In one episode, it's played for laughs when Palmer's attempt at describing his attacker ends with a super villain-esque result. Other times, it's played incredibly straight, like when McGee creates a program that successfully de-ages a suspect about ten years. Still other times, it's averted when they get a vague pencil sketch that could be anybody. | |

Subverted in the post-Enies Lobby arc in One Piece . Crew members who don't have bounties get bounties and wanted posters. The government got photos for most of them, but couldn't get a photo for Sanji and had to use an artist's impression, and thus the picture on the poster looks nothing like him. The Double Subversion comes in when a completely unrelated character was revealed to coincidentally have the same face. | |

CSI: There is one particularly grating example. In "Face Lift", they have a picture of a freckle-faced young girl grinning a toothy, squinty grin. They take us through the early stages of artificially ageing her, starting to make her look like a freckle-faced grinning adult. Then later when we see the final result, it's a picture of an unsmiling, closed-mouthed, wide-eyed young woman, which couldn't possibly have been extrapolated from the earlier picture. They also once manage to put together a recognisable face out of a nine year's decayed skeleton; bones provide a gender and possible ethnicity, dental estimates the age. Then some computer work and a tissue database put muscles and other features on the skull, the shapes suggest more ethnicity information leading to hair and eye colour, and Archie does the rest. |

Played with in an episode of Quack Pack, when Donald Duck thrashes the living-room while playing with his nephews' VR-videogame, which he'd been admonishing them about earlier, he makes up a description for an assailant to cover for it. This turns out to perfectly match someone - a known criminal with an unbelieveably brutish appearance. Involved in numerous crimes, nobody had ever dared to bear witness against him – and he's then arrested based on Donald's bogus claims. | |

Parodied by Homestar Runner in "Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon", where the King of Town tries to describe the person who stole his crown (Strong Bad) to Bubs. The picture ends up as one of some guy Coach Z calls "Biscuit Dough Hands Man", who looks nothing like Strong Bad. | |

Played with in DefJam: Fight For NY: the police sketch of the guy who rescued D-Mob from police custody is used as the character creation system. Naturally, once the sketch is done, the PC looks exactly like it. | |

Phoenix. The Major Crime Squad comes up with a photofit of one of the bombers from a girl that he raped. Unfortunately they're not allowed to make it public because it might jeopardize the case (by linking the rape with the bombing and thus prejudicing the jury). The police lawyers are even reluctant to have it distributed to other police officers for fear that one of them will tip off the press. | |

Quincy, M.E. once reconstructed a picture of an entire person from a single fragment of a thigh bone, including hair and eye color (although, to give the show credit, Quincy admitted he was only guessing on the hair and eyes based on statistical averages). | |

Played with in an episode of Men in Black: The Series: The "sketch" artist used the witness's face instead of a sketchpad to physically recreate the criminal's appearance. | |
