I first picked out an animal and then a good background to go with it so it looked natural. I then drew a sketch of it, and picked a piece of it to put on the lanolioum. I sketched it out on a piece of paper the size of the sqaure and shaded it so i knew what parts i needed to carve out. Then i drew it out on the lanolioum and shaded what needed to carved out, and then took a exacto knife to start carving. Once that was done i took printing paint and covered the lanolioum and then printed it to a small piece of construction paper. I learned how to print and how to eye what should be carved out and what shouldnt.
