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

To show where the animal is in comparison to where the other objects are to make them seem like its not flat and it looks more realistic

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

so you can add a little for each to make the background as realistic as possible so you can see the different types of places the animal might live in                                                                                                                                                           

 

 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? 

The one with the most texture so you will be able to see where the black lines would be added and where the black will be cut out in the final piece
