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

Texture makes your animal come to life and really stand out.

 

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

It is important because you need to see the animal in different angles and different views. The background is important because you need to have options of what background you will draw. 

 

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 think the animal that needs the least shading will look the best because you can't shade in the print.
