There is alot of information an artist must take. Wow i never realized that. I can't draw a straight line to save my life, so people who can draw a face let alone reconstruct a face to mkae people look older is amazing. I give these people alot of credit. It would be interesting to see how many people this process has found.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see that CSI artist can make people drawings, it makes me never want to do a crime. Knowing that I someone can draw what I would look like 20 years from now is pretty bizarre. I wonder if the artists are actually correct when they draw someone?
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how somene can take a disription and trun it into a close drawing of a suspect. That in this world of high tech science we still use a pencil and paper to solve crimes is a testiment to how humans are as important and technology.
ReplyDeleteIt is really unbelievable how some one can draw any ones face without looking at it. Forensic art is usually related to finding suspects. Where victim explains the face structures to the drawer and it is marvelous how it turns out that the picture would look exactly like the actual suspect. I think the future of crime investigation is really bright. I hope in the future you can actually tell the crimes before they actually occur just like the movie, minority report.
