This subject looks a little mean spirited in the photograph from which the sketch was made. In reality, the squint is likely from the bright sun which the sketch failed to capture.
The original photograph is almost as gender ambiguous as the sketch turned out. Sketching smooth skin is very difficult as there's no pathways to help connect the subject's features.
This sketch is from a photograph my father took while visiting Israel. The woman pictured was speaking with a Rabbi or some sort of other religious leader.
This kid is probably six or seven. He turned out older in the sketch, with a slimmer face and less plumpness in his cheeks. Also, the tilt of the face was more extreme in the original photo.
