Illustrated tutorial on sculpture, carving, jade processing, stone carving, auspicious elephant trin

This This tutorial was truly my first production. I didn’t know anything at the time, and I didn’t even know how to use some tools. At that time, I wanted to carve an elephant, so I went to Tudou to check the video. After a long period of fiddling, I finally got it. Looking for ideas in my mind, I figured it out step by step. I am posting this tutorial as a souvenir. There are many details that I didn’t even think about taking pictures. I only have these few pictures. I hope it will give some tips to the novices.
