Print Making

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

Texture is so imprtant in this project because you need to be able to make the picture come alive.  Without texture it's hard to defind what the animal or background is.

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

It is neccessary to have so many references because you may be able to get details of each one to really show what the animal is like.  You need many references of backgrounds to be able to decide which one will make your art the most realistic.

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? 

When I look at the sketches I can tell which one will make the best print.  The iguana, to me, will be the best because it has the most texture in it.
