Print Making Sketch

Print Sketch Critique

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

     Texture was very important in my sketch because it made my animal pop and come to life. Texture shows all the little details in an object, or in this case an animal, and lets someone really see how that object would feel or appear. Since I added texture into my animal and background it made the whole drawing look more realistic.

 

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

     It was necessary to have several references for my animal and the background because it helped me get all the little details into my drawing. It also helped me look at my animal from several angles so I could see the texture exactly the way it is. The beackground photos helped me create a perfect landscape for my animal, so it could have the perfect environment with all of its necessities in the drawing.

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? 

     When I look at my sketches I am unable to tell which one would made the best print. This is because I worked really hard on all my sketches, so they all look really nice and well drawn. I tried to make all my sketches life like with a bunch of texture, and for the most part I think I succeeded.
