So, I understood that in order to succeed I should prove ¬p and ¬q and then use And Introduction.
However, I don't seem to figure out how to do this and was only able to prove (¬p ∨ ¬q) (I'm not sure if I'm even on the right path)
I hope somebody can help me out

Try assuming p, then get a contradiction, from which you can use the contradiction elimination rule.

Well, there's more than one proof. Note that a proof is a particular sequence, so any change in order of steps makes a distinct proof. For one proof assume p first, get to $lnot$p. For another, assume q first and get to $lnot$q.

This is one of De Morgan's laws
$lnotleft(plor qright)$
$pquad$ hyp.
$plor q$
$left(plor qright)landleft(lnotleft(plor qright)right)$
$lnot p$
$qquad$ hyp.
$plor q$
$left(plor qright)landleft(lnotleft(plor qright)right)$
$lnot q$
$lnot plandlnot q$
You just need to fill in the justification for each line.
