Print Sketch Critique

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

 textchure is important to have in sktches, because it make the drawling come to life. it also adds more detail to help other define what the part of the  drawing are. For example the bark on a tree or feathers on a bird. texture overall, adds detail and a relistic quality that most wouldnt have if they did not include textchure.

2. Why is it neccessary for you to have several references of each animal and each background? Explain.  it is necessary to have many references for each animal and back round, becuase you dont want to copy one photo that is copying their work. it also helps if part of the animal or backround is cut off you can use some of the other photos the to fill it in.  you can also use details in many references to help make the animal more 3-D.

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 see which  drawling would make the best print. i can do this by looking at the amount of postive and negtive space in the photo. you dont want to have too mush detail in the animal and in the backround because then it will be hard to destingush the animal from the back round. for example i think i am going to do the drawling of my betta fish, becuase the fish its self has allot of detail. while the rocks around the fish have less detail around it. however there is not allot of detail for the backround of the fish, so the best chioce for the print making  is my bird that i skecth drew becuase it has allot of detail but is not overpowering the bird which should be the center of the print.
