Texture was very important when drawing these animals because it brings life to the picture and makes it look better and more appealing to the eye. Somebody doesn't have much to look at when it is just a plain old animal, but get interested when they texture. You need several references and backgrounds of the animal you are drawing because it provides you with different ways that they look and provides the different habitats that they live in so you can decide how you want to make them look and where you want them to 'reside'  in your picture, based on the different pictures you collect. Yes, I knew the wombat would make the best print and look the best because it had the most texture of the three animals I chose. I feel like it would be good to do an animal with good texture when making a print.
