Print Sketch

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

Texture is important to have in my sketch becuase it helps the animal look more realistic. It is a step up from how we used to draw animals when we were younger. It really makes the sketch seem more alive.

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

It is neccessary to have several references of each animal and each background because it gives you different ideas that you will be able to combine into one. References are needed to help you make a successful sketch because without it your drawing will probably not look much like the animal you intended it to look like. Having options is always a good idea, and many references will really make your picture come together.

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, when I look at my sketches I am able to see which sketch is the strongest and will make the best print. I know this because the print needs to be an animal with a quality looking background. That way you can just take a part of the whole sketch to make the print with.
