A renowned courtroom sketch artist who has been working at former President Donald Trump's hush money trial says she's gotten 'strange emails' from Trump's fans, unhappy with her depiction of him.

Jane Rosenberg claims that she's just been drawing in the style that she traditionally uses but this has apparently made some of the former president's fans angry.

'I do worry about because I've gotten some strange emails from people who don't like the way I portray him or family of his, whatever,' she told CNN Tuesday.

She notes that she's not worried about Trump's reaction to his work himself, though the fans are a concern. 

Host Anderson Cooper told Rosenberg he was surprised that there wasn't more use of the color orange in her drawings.

'I had a little orange section but he's not really fully orange,' she said. 

'My paper is kind of orange, kind of like what his skin tone is.'

Rosenberg also noted that Trump said hello to her when he entered the courtroom Tuesday.

'He said hello today, he doesn't always but he does know who I am,' she said.

'He's seen me in DC and Florida. He knows who I am, I guess [my drawing] was on the cover of New Yorker magazine.' 

Dubbed the 'Holbein of crime', Jane Rosenberg, of New York, has spent 40 years covering the courts - including the R. Kelly and Harvey Weinstein trials - and is considered among the best in the business. 

Now employed by news agency Reuters, Rosenberg is tasked with being the public's eyes in US federal courts, including the one where the Maxwell trial is taking place, where cameras are still prohibited.

In a matter of minutes, she can create a scene full of atmosphere, capturing the expressions, clothing and gestures of major players in the case.

Speaking to The Times during the Ghislaine Maxwell trial in 2021, the sketch artist explained she leaves home every day before dawn in order to secure a prime seat in the courtroom.

She and the other artists then have roughly seven seconds to capture Maxwell from the front, before she takes her seat and faces the judge, The Times reported. 

However Rosenberg, who studied art at the University of Buffalo, has built up something of a unique rapport with Maxwell and 'went viral' when the defendant started sketching her, while she was sketching. 

Rosenberg, who began courtroom sketching when she was in a tough financial position and is now world-renowned, can pull together an image in a matter of seconds, drawing with broad strokes before filling in the detail.
