| Digital Forensic Art Techniques: A Professional's Guide to Corel Painter from CRC Press | ||||||
 CRC Press has published Digital Forensic Art Techniques: A Professional's Guide to Corel Painter. This book illustrates hands-on techniques to digitally create forensic art for police and investigative purposes. Coverage focuses specifically on how to utilize the software to create realistic human likenesses, including composites of suspects and drawings of persons in unidentified remains cases.Drawing digitally is like using any tool in art: a pencil, a charcoal stick, a conte’ crayon. A stylus is just another tool to master. Digital work is easier for artists to send to the case detective, and the work always reproduces exactly as it was completed. Another benefit to working digitally is that one can use video conferencing with a witness online to provide services remotely world-wide. This enables police departments who have never had access to a forensic artist to have a sketch done within hours of the crime. Chapters address the more basic functions to serve as a primer for those transitioning to working digitally. There is also instruction on light and shadow, and bones and muscles of the skull. All of the discussion is intended to make the reader see things as an artist to improve drawing skills and overall digital techniques. In short, Digital Forensic Art Techniques is a practical, easy-to-follow manual for working forensic artists that will give readers a solid base from which to start. It serves as an essential resource to greater skill and comfort with the hardware and software, thus furthering current best practices and technological advances in the field. Features include: - Explains the process of electronically rendering faces and features using Corel PainterTM technology - While focusing on a single software, the applications and techniques can be utilized for any digital rendering program - Offers step-by-step instruction that explains various tools and illustrates how to implement them in sketches - The first book of its kind dedicated to walking through the digital process of rendering composite sketches using electronic means and digital software and technologies - Brings composite sketching into the 21st century by introducing current practices in remote, real-time interviewing and digital rendering For more information, visit: * Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Oo53bV * Website: crcpress.com |
