Print Sketches

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

If you have the same texture for everything in your piece than there will be no definition between what is the animal and what is the background. It also adds a whole new level of artistry when you have detailed textures.

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

You dont want to copy someone's artwork. You want to get different angles of your animal so you can get creative. Also it can help you create when you get artist block.

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 think the squirrell will make the best print sketch. The texture on the tree is completely a different texture than the squirrell's tail so that will make a very cool effect. I can also get the entire squirrel in the picture not jsut its head.
