Court artist got my nose wrong, says man accused of masterminding 9/11 terror attacks "Everybody was quite surprised the first time we saw him, because his beard had gone very grey, it was very Merlinesque," she told National Public Radio as she publicised Sketching Guantánamo, a collection of her images from the camp. I had to make a point of getting his likeness right away. From a distance that was a bit difficult, and that led to a sort of awkward moment in my courtroom drawing career, because Khalid Sheikh Mohammed actually did not want it to go out, saying that the nose was all wrong. Ms Hamlin has chronicled the changing colour of Mohammed's beard as he has dyed it over the years. "The first time we saw him with the red beard, it was rusty brown," she recalled. And then it started getting more garish, and more like a Hawaiian Punch tone. Finally the fruit juice and berries or something was the explanation for that kind of vivid colour he was getting.
