Texture Sketches!

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

-Texture plays a major role in these sketches because the more texture you draw, the more your final print will pop. Various textures add different contrasts that will really catch the eye if used properly.

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

 

-It's necessary to have many references to each animal and environment to
really help customize the animal/environment, and pin-point what features you like most about each picture, and add a little bit of all of those features to your final sketch. It also helps if, for example, you're drawing a forest background, and you need a close-up picture of bark along with your other pictures of trees.

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? 

  -I know which one I will most likely use in the print because of the amount of texture I used. More texture will add more contrast to the print, so whatever one turns out having the most texture, will probably make the best print. So far, the owl seems to have texture, with the wings having so many different patterns.
