Place the
printing block
over your
pencil
drawing.

Make sure the

edges are
perfectly
aligned.

Fold the sides

of the paper
and tape them
to the block to
secure the
drawing.
Flip it over
and rub the
drawing onto
the printing
block.

Remove the
paper.

The outline of
the drawing
should be
transfered to
the printing
block.
Outline
everything
with a
Sharpie.

Fill in all black

shapes.
Place the
other side of
the printing
block onto the
drawing.

Transfer the
image.
Trace the
"color" shapes
only.

Place the
"color" side of

for safety.
Choose 3
linoleum
cutters:

1. Small blade
(for details)

2. V-shape
blade for
outlining

3. U-shape
blade for
larger areas

Start cutting
with a V-
shape blade.
Outline the
shapes. Cut
away from
yourself. You
can rotate the
printing block
as you cut.
After you are
done outlining
- use U-shape
blade to
remobe the
background.
Use short
cuts.

This is how it
should look.
Once your
"color" side is
done - flip the
printing block.

Cut out all

shapes that
are not black.
This is what it
should look
like.

Now it's time

for printing.

Protect the
area with
newspapers.

Mix at least
two colors of
the printing ink
using craft
sticks.

Use a roller to
transfer ink
onto the block.
Make sure it is
covered
uniformly.

Place the
printing block
onto the
alignment
board.

Align the
corners.
Place a corner
of printing
paper in the
upper corner
of the board.
Let the paper
fall onto the
printing block.

Use a clean
roller to
transfer ink
onto the
paper.
Lift the paper.

This is your
first color
print. Print
nine more
copies. You
can use
different
colors.

Let the prints

dry!

Wash the
printing block.
Use black ink.

Apply black
ink onto the
other side of
the printing
block.
Align it the
same way on
the board.

Use your
"color" prins
for printing

Align paper
exactly the
same way on
the board.
Lift the print

Let it dry.

Print the other

9 copies.
Sign your
name and
year in the
