Print Sketch

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

 Texture is so importnat to have in your sketches because it makes the picture look real. Without texture, it could look really flat and people won't be able to tell what it is sometimes. You want to make sure the picture pops out at people to make it look like its really there, not on a paper.

 

2. Why is it neccessary for you to have several references of each animal and each background? Explain.
It is neccessary to have several refrences of each animal and each background because you can use different things from each picture. If you took just one animal and one background, it could look boring. But if you took, for example, a tree from one background but the sky from another than it looks more like you created it yourself and more detailed.

 

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. I can tell depending on the amount of detail each picture has. One of my pictures I know will not make as good as a background as the one above. This is because it takes place under the water and there is not a lot of detail in my background so it would not show up as well as a print, it would just be boring.
