I picked a picture of me that I thought was kinda funny. And then I got the picture printed and I started making the dark and light things standout so that I knew what I wanted to be black and what I wanted to have be white. And once I did that I got it traced onto the carving sheet. And once I did that I carved out all the white parts of my image and then I rolled this black ink over my carved image. And then I put paper over it seven times in all.
