Pencil sketch of Marc Dutroux made by Cart /Ann-Sophie Qvarnström. Original art. Sketch made and scanned directly afterwards. This is not done from one specific photo. As I usually do when I draw portraits of people that I can't see in person, I look at a lot of photos of them and then create my own rendition of them. — Photo: W.carter · CC BY-SA 4.0 ↗
