Robin's portrait


Finally I finished Robin's portrait. Of all his photos I like this the most because the way he proudly shows the fish he just caught.
I hope he likes it :)

Yoda, it's beautiful!
I love how this project causes to change a style - it's a little bit different and still so you!

ahh, Ms. Yoda, if only I could draw people as well as you! You are a star!

WOW, this looks awesome. Some day I would like to know what is behind the red cheeks. But it is distinctively you. I thought I remembered that fish being much larger though. Ha, ha. Way to go!

Lovely drawing, Yoda. Great keepsake. Lucky redredpres.

The fish will seem much larger when it's me dressed in a fish costume chasing after you with a fishing rod. Can't wait to get my hands on your book redredpres.

another wonderful portrait Yoda!!

I believe if you look at the comments area of one of Yoda's self portraits, from a month or so ago, she explains the red cheeks and some of her other symbolism. Truly inspiring. :)

Hahaha... Marty, looking forward to seeing you as a revengeful fish... =D

This is very beautiful. I'm off to read that comment to find out about those red cheeks. I love the read cheeks!

Somebody asked me the same question a long time ago about the red cheeks.

Is a symbol of purity, spiritual at least. I've noticed that in cartoons only kids have those kind of red cheeks and to be a child is to be pure, to be amazed everyday about everything. When we grow up we loose some of that, we have to even if we don't want to, but I think we have to keep some of it, or more than some.

I didn't have a "normal" childhood, it ended too soon. Now years later, I'm trying to live that, not in the same way of course, just in my works. So that's why I use the cheeks, the colour sometimes is not that important :)
