Print Sketch Critique

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

   The texture is very important in the sketch. This is because when you do your stamp you need to have a lot of texture to make it look good. You need to because there is only a limited amount of space for you to draw your animal. If you have a lot of texture then you can have positive and negative space in your stamp.

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

  It is necessary to have several references for both the background and the animal. It is very important because you want to have many view points that you can look at. Also if there is something is one picture that you like and something in another that you also like, you might want to combine them. An example would be saying that you like one tree in one picture and the grass in another. This is why it is very important that you have many references.

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 am able to look at each of my sketches and see which one would be best for the print. I know this because I have to chose the one with the best texture on it. I also had to pick the with a good background in it as well. I also know that this one was the best one because my other sketches didn't have has much detail as this one.
