An Artist Creates Police Sketches To Show the Difference Between Book and Movie Characters

It always remains a question about which is the more fascinating storytelling: the movie or the book. Some people think the book version is the best while others prefer the movie version. In fact, each version of storytelling has its advantage in attracting viewers or readers.
For viewers, they can enjoy the cinematic world where filmmakers create it vividly. And when it comes to readers, everything they read from the book will be imagined by themself, including the weather, how the house is designed, and most importantly, what the characters look like. Despite being described by the same words, we still have different characters' imaginations. And that's why Brian J. Davis, a filmmaker and digital artist decided to do something different: he didn't use his imagination to create images. Instead of that, he used low-enforcement composite sketch software to get the most accurate results, which doesn't depend on a personal imagination.
Today, we compare these sketches to photos of the actors in Movies to see if they actually match the descriptions of the characters in books. Let's scroll down and check them out!
