To create this print, first I had to find two diffrent pictures: an okapi, and a railroad background. I then had to create a sketch where the two pictures coexisted. I had to create the sketch so that it had texture, and that it was large enough to fit onto the lenolium slab.After I redrew the sketch a fewe times in my notebook, I tansfered the sktech onto the lenolium and soon after that I  began to cut. I cut and carved into the lenolium and I watched to where I was cutting so that once it was done I rolled the paint on it, the right areas would be raises and sunken. I chose two diffrent colors of paint and construction paper for the final print making process.I chose puprle ink on yellow constrution paper, and, as you can see, pink ink on green constrution paper. It took a few days and plenty of sketching and redrawing and transfering, but teh final project seemed to be worth all of that.
