Print Sketch

1. Why is texture so important to have in your sketches?

Texture is important in sketches because it gives the animal character and defines certain features. Wihtout texture you wouldnt know if the animal had fur, scales, feathers, etc.

2. Why is it neccessary for you to have several references of each animal and each background? Explain.

It is neccessary because by just looking at one picture you may not be able to see every feature that you would like to see. By having multiple references you can see diffrent angles so taht you can do your own sketch how you want it. You can use different parts of different references.

3. When you look at your sketches are you able to see which sketch is the strongest and will make the best print? How do you know this? 

Yes I am able to tell by the amount of texture in each skecth. I would also look at each sketch and the differnt places that have the best contrast of positive and negative space, and texture.
