I want to create full body poses next but for now I want to work on his face.  I am having lots of fun drawing him and hope to get better the more I practice on his face.  After I finish his body concepts I plan on working on another character.  This time it will be a female and I also started a sculpture on her.

I love using it because you can get really dark with it.  It also feels like you are drawing on plastic...which I think it is plastic (100% polypropylene) lol.  Anyway, this is a graphite drawing and it is not done yet but I am having a lot of fun with it.  He is a made up character and I just want to get better at drawing him so this is my first attempt to a semi-realistic look.  I will be using him in a graphic novel I hope to one day create.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921978726669875038-1158631784809704215?l=lotusgem.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lotusgem.blogspot.com/feeds/1158631784809704215/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lotusgem.blogspot.com/2010/03/this-one-was-done-on-yupo-paper.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8921978726669875038/posts/default/1158631784809704215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8921978726669875038/posts/default/1158631784809704215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lotusgem.blogspot.com/2010/03/this-one-was-done-on-yupo-paper.html' title=''/><author><name>Yessenia Ornelas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00063348378028711813</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DAaLLju0nU0/S6BfGb-EKoI/AAAAAAAAAAw/5FgTNkTwDCI/s72-c/Picture+001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921978726669875038.post-8619102503612402186</id><published>2010-03-16T21:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-16T21:43:52.263-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DAaLLju0nU0/S6Bc6TLK3II/AAAAAAAAAAo/75-9FvcBw20/s1600-h/Picture.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_DAaLLju0nU0/S6Bc6TLK3II/AAAAAAAAAAo/75-9FvcBw20/s320/Picture.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449457705767591042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am working on some art projects and this is one of them.

the best. On our honeymoon, Luis and I went to this little restaurant in San Diego to eat sushi. I ordered sushi that had jalapenos in it and it was super spicy. I remeber that we couldn't finish it and we had to take it home. For an early Valentine's Day gift, Luis took me to a sushi restaurant here in Provo and I definately enjoyed it. We had 3 different kinds and were stuffed(we didn't leave any to take home).  We had lots of fun! Now he wants me to learn how to make sushi.  I wonder who would be willing to teach me?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8921978726669875038-7468196882722256815?l=lotusgem.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lotusgem.blogspot.com/feeds/7468196882722256815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lotusgem.blogspot.com/2010/02/sushi-is-best.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8921978726669875038/posts/default/7468196882722256815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8921978726669875038/posts/default/7468196882722256815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lotusgem.blogspot.com/2010/02/sushi-is-best.html' title=''/><author><name>Yessenia Ornelas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00063348378028711813</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_DAaLLju0nU0/S3cWt1CzsII/AAAAAAAAAAU/nFTasimA5M4/s72-c/Picture+155.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921978726669875038.post-6085534219626406324</id><published>2010-02-05T12:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T12:46:17.726-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Living in Utah</title><content type='html'>We have a little more than a month that we moved to Utah.
