Etching

For this I used a sharp tool to carve an elk into a board, then put ink on it, and then printed it to paper, which unfortunately was wet, so that's why the paper is bended. What I know know that I didn't know is that for darker lines of ink to appear, pressing down hard with the knife while tracing the design into the material does the trick. Areas that still need improvement include some white areas on the deer where I should have pressed down a bit harder.
