Facial Reconstruction on the Skull

 

Facial reconstruction on the skull is used to aid in the identification of skeletal remains. The forensic artist works closely with an anthropologist to create the facial features of the unknown individual based on the underlying cranial structure.

2-Dimensional Facial Reconstruction

Based on her training with Betty Pat. Gatliff, Karen T. Taylor later developed the technique of drawing over photographs to create a facial reconstruction.
