You need to get some block-printing ink. For easy cleanup (don't need any chemicals, just water) maybe grab some [Speedball]

Here's also a short video about inking techniques for water-based ink.

You can go out to any place that sells lumber, home depot, lowes, or just a hardware store. Birch plywood is a good start, but it splinters a lot when cutting it. I would recommend MDF board, it cuts easy and is great for beginners. After that youll just need a set of woodcutting tools, I would suggest getting this set, since its cheap and still pretty good. Use a sharpie to draw/plan out your image and make sure youre cutting out the negative spots, the parts that you want to keep white. You'll also need ink, you can get speedball (its cheap), a brayer, and a wooden spoon to burnish the image on to paper. As far as paper goes, I would suggest using mulberry at first, its thin so you can see what you are doing during the burnishing process.

So the steps as follows:

  • Draw image in block
  • Cut out negative areas, the part you want to keep white
  • Roll out ink slap, on something hard and smooth
  • Ink up block
  • Place paper over block, where you want it lined up
  • Use wooden spoon to rub over entire image evenly
  • Pull paper up slowly
  • Enjoy your new print!
