I used to draw ladies and model's faces from magazines when I was in my late teens, trying to get near perfect copies just for the enjoyment of seeing how exact I could be. But it's boring as you get older! After a while, you move on to other things and sketch real life. But being Jodi Arias - these are likely lies just like everything else! She probably did basically trace them if her paper is thin enough or she's very strong back-lighting under the original and her paper.

I saw something on Twitter about her sketch of Liz Taylor but when I clicked on it, couldn't see any sketch of Liz - just a nondescript woman's face. Her artwork is quite technical in nature and cold. Looks computer generated or something. It doesn't really have a natural flow to it somehow. Still, some do naturally draw that way but it's off-putting. Seems to have absolutely no emotion to it.

I put her picture on top of the other picture and made her picture semitransparent, and I'm guessing she traced it since they fit perfectly except in two places, the chin and left eye is slightly different, her shading is good though. Here's her picture of Frank Sinatra and I'm pretty sure she didn't copy that.

LOL. I notice she didn't try the slightly open mouth on the young female face. Sketching or painting teeth on the female face is so difficult for me - they just always look dirty or something if you draw the lines. You almost have to just barely hint at them or they can look gross. That effect doesn't matter on a man's or old woman's open mouth but on a young woman's, it can be so hard to get it looking right.

She could have traced it and probably did being a liar about most things but I've seen some wonderful exact work by the really talented artist with a technical eye for exact detail, dimension and proportion. Virtual copies. But then so many portrait artists do trace outlines of the main structures of the face in portraits and go from there, she's probably just mimicking this poorly kept secret.

I turned over to HLN - yep - still Jodi Arias - and I'm already tired of waiting.

No she copies everything...there is a name for what she does. I saw it on FB but forgot what they called it.

Some people say that is Travis's sister in the pic in the picture Nancy posted.

Here is the page I have been following:

There is a blurb about Jodi's "art"

Ohhh, I want to go read about this stuff. Thanks for the link, Linda.

Did you see she sells those things for hundreds of dollars!?!? Isn't that something everybody wants hanging in their home - one of Jodi Arias' cold sketches!!!!! I'd be afraid my house might burn itself down in protest - just commit suicide to get that off its walls!

I would not give her a nickel. She is heartless and makes me sick. I don't know WHY anyone would give her money. Just crazy.

CNN said JA's mitigation expert just entered the courthouse, shaking her head that she wasn't there for another case.(Turns out, she was the lady beside Arias during closing arguments.) It was said jury left last night looking glum. Could be they arrived at a verdict, went home to sleep on it and will come back in an hour late today and final for the last time. Jane Velez-Mitchell said if the jury comes in dressed up today, it could mean the verdict is coming today and they decided to sleep in, come in and vote again and face the media. Then the mitigation expert begins her earnest work. Think today's the day?

[EarthAngel]

Sure hope so!

[yorkietalkjilly]

Now JVM is saying one juror arrived early in shorts and saying they could have been at each other's throats and decided to come in late for an extra cooling-off period.

[EarthAngel]

If this jury doesn't come back with premeditated murder...I will be at a loss for words.

[ladyjane]

Getting a bit worried. I don't see the issue...if someone is holding out I will give up on the system we have. This girl is guilty as sin.
You know, the judge from Casey Anthony's trial just spoke out the other day saying there was enough evidence to convict her. All it takes is one IDIOT to stand there and insist there is reasonable doubt. What is reasonable to most is not to the few. Makes me sick.

[yorkietalkjilly]

Could be one are two are just not fully convinced and the others are working on them, going step by step over that mountain of planning she did, showing how all of that just can't be coincidental - not all that. And all of the evidence showing she was never in a fog at any time. But it does seem harder and harder in this country to find a celebrity or those who cry "victim" guilty of anything these days. And by virtue of the media coverage, Arias is an erstwhile celebrity and because she now cries "abuse", she's a victim to some. I think the victim card was part of what got Casey Anthony off.

[yorkietalkjilly]

"No jury is going to convict me....and you can mark my words on that one, no jury will convict me."

[Wylie's Mom]

My guess is that they're having major dissension over premeditation vs "in the heat of passion".

Honestly, I can easily see why a few people would be confused. If you've ever been on a jury, you'll know what I mean. You would not BELIEVE what some people will get hung up on...the smallest little detail, the smallest thing that means zero to you, but everything to them. And they lock on it, and won't let go. And then multiply that by 12. It's not fun. Being on a jury can actually be pretty awful...people crying and everything.
