I started this project by drawing a picture of what I wanted. I then used tracing paper to copy the image onto linoleum. I colored in what wasn't being carved away with a black marker. I then carved the linoleum away with the correct tools. For some areas I put designs into the carving to make it less plain.

In this image a deep sea diver is being approached by a large squid. He is taking his picture with an underwater camera, and doesn't see the squid coming up behind him. It was difficult to picture exactly how everything would look because I was carving away what wasn't colored, and the image would be reversed when printed. It was also time consuming to put patterns into the helmet, suit, and tentacles.
