Age Progression: Growth
		Age progressions that project facial growth, child age progressions, help provide a more current, “up-to-date” and effective facial image in cases of missing or abducted children. They may be hand drawn or computer-generated and must be done by an artist with knowledge of the complex patterns of craniofacial growth. Karen’s drawings show a proportional comparison of the fetal skull and the adult skull.     In this hand drawn example, Karen Taylor shows a male child pictured at 2.5 years of age progressed to 18 years of age. The photo of the young man when located at age 18 is compared to the age progression with the facial hair added.
