From infancy, a child can draw various doodles. By showing these scribbles to a specialist, you can find out the real condition of the child. The choice of color, size of the drawing, location, pressure when drawing has a special meaning. If you come to see a psychologist for the first time, you may be asked to take a test and draw some kind of picture. Using this drawing, a professional psychologist will be able to assess your psychological and emotional state, identify problems and “read” your subconscious.
What do you “unconsciously” draw during times of psychological stress or just sitting at a meeting? All drawings can contain certain information that can be “read”. But only a specialist can accurately interpret the information. In the drawing, everything matters; every movement is associated with certain processes of the nervous system. Often a person unconsciously projects his experiences and hidden complexes into the drawing.
There are several stages in interpreting drawings. First of all, an overall assessment is given for the entire drawing. It can be unusual, harmonious, complete or, on the contrary, incomplete. All this makes it possible to determine a person’s mental abilities, talent, and culture.
Then the specialist looks at the location of the drawing. So, for example, if the drawing is located in the center, this means that the person likes to defend his interests and finds compromises in various situations. But if the picture is higher, then this indicates a desire to dominate or inflated self-esteem. The drawing at the bottom of the sheet indicates low self-esteem, a depressed or dissatisfied state. If the picture is on the right side of the sheet, then this indicates that the person is very active and active. The location of the picture on the left side of the sheet says that this person has a stronger emotional sphere and he thinks that all the good things are in his past.
The general emotional background of the drawing, as well as detailed analysis images by parts and lines can give more information about the author. To do this, you need to have information on interpreting the drawings that psychologists and scientists study.
For example, if you “unconsciously” draw:
Various flowers, sun or bright garlands.
So you have at the moment not everything is as fun as it seems. You need tenderness and friendship. Flowers and leaves are drawn by kind and sympathetic people.
Various patterns.
It may indicate the routine of your life and a thirst for change.
Waves, circles and spirals.
According to experts, people who are currently experiencing a crisis and do not care about their surroundings paint this way. They are secretive and do not like people prying into their souls.
Nets.
Grids are drawn by those who find themselves in an awkward position and hide their resentment from others.
Hearts (intertwined).
Crosses.
Crosses and crosses can be drawn by those who feel guilty or depressed.
Various little people.
Such a drawing may be a sign of helplessness, or maybe you just don’t want to do something.
Geometric shapes: triangles, rhombuses, squares and others.
It is very difficult to trick a person who draws geometric figures. After all, he has his own beliefs and goals in life. He is open and focused. Symmetrical figures indicate that this person is neat, loves order and knows how to plan everything.
Honeycomb or bee house.
By drawing honeycombs, you show your desire to create your own home and family, so that life is in harmony and tranquility.
Chess field.
People who hide their complexes and want to solve emerging problems according to their own plan draw a chessboard. They may be in a very difficult situation at the moment.
Circles that intertwine with each other.
Numbers.
Trees.
If a person is upset, he can draw a tree with bare branches. But if a tree has many branches and a thick trunk, then on the contrary, the person is very calm and happy.
Eyes.
Frequent drawing of eyes indicates introspection and an inability to make decisions. At the same time, small eyes are a desire not to notice the problem, but big eyes– high control of the situation.
Painting.
A fan of painting on paper is usually depressed or fixated on himself and problems.
Don’t be upset if your drawing turned out to be not so “successful”; you always have the opportunity to change your destiny in better side. In any case, for a detailed and correct interpretation of your drawings, it is better to contact a specialist.
Have you ever wondered what they mean various drawings, which we draw on paper without thinking? Let us look further at the description of such arts.
Parade of numbers
Those who like to draw numbers are exclusively concerned with material assets. The first option is you figure out where and how you can make money. Second, you are thinking about how to pay off your debts.
May there always be sunshine
Are the pages of the notebook decorated with the sun or garlands? Paradoxically, your mood is by no means as rosy as these drawings. You lack warmth, care and attention. You dream of friendship and tenderness. Want some advice? Try to be around people more often in the near future. Call your friends, go to the cinema or for a walk with them, sit in a cafe. Then the sun will appear not only on paper, but also in your soul.
Oh, those figures!
Squares, diamonds, triangles provide clear goals and strong beliefs. Such figures are usually drawn by people who are used to openly expressing their point of view. They try not to give in to the enemy, have a practical mindset, well-developed logical thinking and are able to occupy a leadership position. Moreover, symmetrical forms mean a commitment to neatness and order, prudence and the ability to plan everything. At the same time, if the corners of the figures are drawn too sharply, this is a clear tendency towards aggression. Your problem is excessive concentration, which does not allow you to relax normally.
Tic-tac-toe
Crosses express feelings of guilt. Perhaps you offended someone or did not fulfill a promise, or it seems to you that those around you are reproaching you for something. Quickly discuss everything that is bothering you, or ask for forgiveness, it will immediately become easier. By the way, your drawing may contain not just ordinary crosses, but, for example, decorations or patterns containing cross-shaped elements. As a rule, women give them this look.
Spirals, circles, wavy lines
Other people's problems don't bother you too much or don't interest you at all. You are a very secretive and reserved person; you do not like it when others meddle in your affairs. You may be going through a mild crisis. Now you are a complete exposed wire. Try to control yourself, otherwise you may lose your temper and insult your interlocutor.
Shine, burn, my star...
A star is an indicator of an optimistic nature. When faced with a problem, such a person tries not to give up and tries to quickly cope with difficulties. In addition, such a drawing demonstrates the desire of the “draftsman” to attract attention.
There was a birch tree in the field...
Thin trees with bare branches depict lost and upset people. But the branched crown and thick trunk show that you are energetic, cheerful and nothing is bothering you at the moment. Advertising
Heart to heart
You are overwhelmed with feelings. I want to kiss the whole world. But you constantly restrain your emotions and from the outside appear strict and unapproachable. Moreover, the larger the drawing, the greater the difference between your true face and the usual mask. Stop controlling yourself, become more open and relaxed.
Bee house
“Honeycomb” speaks of the desire for an orderly and measured life, peace, harmony with oneself and the world around us. In addition, such a drawing may mean a desire to start a family, which a person often does not want to admit even to himself.
Seven-flowered flower
Flowers and leaves indicate good character. Such people are sympathetic and love to help others. They are also sensitive and emotional. If a person draws plants in a vase, it means that he constantly needs energy recharge.
Checkmate or checkmate
You find yourself in an unpleasant or difficult situation, so you draw a chessboard. And you want to solve all the problems by developing your own tactics and strategy, just like chess players do. Meanwhile, if a similar image is in your notebook- a frequent guest, then it is possible that you suffer from hidden complexes.
Have you heard?
Psychologists say: approximately nine out of ten people aged 18 to 34 constantly draw casually, and among those over 65 - six out of ten. It is known that John Kennedy loved to depict sailing boats. According to a reputable graphologist, this was a sign of great persistence and vital energy.
Post Views: 83
Circles and rings
Circles connected to each other or inscribed within one another indicate a desire for affiliation and participation. “I’m lonely, I feel like I’m disconnected from the outside world,” such drawings signal. When we draw circles on paper, the unconscious hints to us that we lack friendly participation and attention.
Squares, diamonds and other geometric shapes
You have clear goals and beliefs, you almost never hide your opinions, and you are always persistent and persistent. You are usually overly vigilant and cautious, so try to keep things simple.
Spirals, circles or wavy lines
Other people's problems don't bother you too much or don't interest you at all. Maybe you are even experiencing a slight emotional crisis: you are walking in a circle of your ambiguous experiences. Now you need to monitor your behavior so as not to lose your temper and lash out at others.
Arrows
This is the vector by which you navigate in life. The arrow is directed up - orientation towards other people, down - towards yourself, to the left - look into the past, to the right - hope for the future.
Asterisks
You want to be the center of attention; it is important for you to be bright and always noticed. But, if your star has too many rays or you depict them separately from her, this may indicate depressive experiences.
Crosses
Perhaps you are worried about a feeling of guilt towards a loved one or are burdened by some problem for which you feel responsible.
Houses and boxes
Symmetrical forms demonstrate a love of order, a penchant for planning and calculations. This is what such a drawing says to others: “I am not easily confused, I know exactly what I want, I have clear goals, and I am going to vigorously defend my opinion.”
Chess fields
Apparently, you find yourself in a very unpleasant, or at least difficult, situation. If such images appear frequently, then you most likely suffer from hidden complexes associated with the inability to resolve some situation, or are in search of yourself, your life path, doubt the correctness of your life.
Honeycomb
You strive for peace, harmony, and want to streamline your life. It is also quite likely that you are thinking about creating a family nest.
Animals
Your emotions today may directly depend on the animal that has settled on your paper. If it is a tiger or a wolf, aggression is hidden in you; if it’s a fox, they’re planning to cheat somewhere; a bunny or a squirrel - you need care and protection, a lion - you feel superior to everyone. When you constantly depict the same animal, bird or bug, you most likely compare it with yourself, attribute its habits to yourself.
Human figurines
If these are little people, then most likely you feel helpless or want to avoid any responsibilities. When you depict a person schematically (“a stick, a stick, a cucumber—here comes a little man”), your emotional state is unstable, you want to close yourself off and not let anyone near you.
Personal signatures
Such mechanical drawings are characteristic of a vain and self-centered nature. The abundance of one’s own signatures, mechanically written on a sheet of paper during a conversation or thinking about some problem, signals an excessive fixation on one’s own person.
Flowers, sun, clouds
Cheerful flowers and the sun are sure signs that you are happy with how the telephone conversation is going. Most likely, while listening to your interlocutor, you are already dreaming and fantasizing about something pleasant. Such drawings clearly reveal your optimistic attitude and good mood.
Many psychologists have already confirmed that our drawings can tell a lot about our personality, character and mood. It is no coincidence that in both psychology and psychiatry many diagnostic methods are associated precisely with drawings. Particular attention is paid to children's drawings. When analyzing the personality of an adult, you can use the drawings that he makes casually - we all often move a pencil on paper during telephone conversations, meetings, lectures or long waits. From this article you will learn what our drawings can tell you.
Professional psychologists can tell a lot about a person from drawings. However, the basic rules for analyzing a picture are now available to everyone who is interested, so even deciphering the picture yourself will help you learn better loved one or even yourself. Why drawing analysis in psychology so effective? There are at least two explanations for this.
- First of all, in drawings we express what we think. Since this way of dialogue with the outside world is indirect, unlike, for example, speech, drawings are less controlled by our consciousness. If, when answering questions, we pass our words through certain internal filters, then by expressing something through a drawing, we feel freer and demonstrate our true selves. For example, this can explain the arrangement of pictures and their content.
- Our muscle movements are directly reflected in the drawings. The nature of your hand movements will be reflected in the lines and dimensions of the image. You've probably noticed that our movements depend both on momentary emotions and on temperament and character. Even in the process of ordinary communication, we receive a lot of information about a person non-verbally: by observing how he gestures and how his facial expressions change. Hand movements, which can be easily judged from a drawing, can also give us an idea of a person’s character and mood.
Sometimes in psychology, for diagnosis, a person is specifically asked to draw, and sometimes in the analysis, random drawings are used, which many of us do casually, if we have a pencil and paper in our hands. The second method is certainly more effective. Random drawings provide the most objective characterization, and in drawings made specifically for a psychologist, a person can try to meet expectations.
Analysis occupies a special place in psychology. children's drawing. Deciphering them is in many ways easier than the drawings of adults, because children's drawings are distinguished by greater variety and a wide range of colors. If you want to learn how to interpret adult or children's drawings, you should pay attention not only to the content of the image. The location of the object on the sheet, its color and the nature of the lines are no less important.
What does the location of the picture say?
By the position of the picture one can judge the character and values of a person. Adults sometimes draw casually in the margins of a notebook, on empty space in old documents, or on small scraps of paper. However, even in this case, you can pay attention to how a person uses the available space for his drawing.
- A drawing located closer to the top edge of the sheet indicates high self-esteem and determination. For this type of people, the main priority in life is self-realization and the desire for success. Such people love the competitive process and strive to be the best in any business. They are often also quite passionate and have leadership qualities.
- Accordingly, the drawing located at the bottom of the sheet indicates that the person has fairly low self-esteem, he does not feel in demand and is not interested in fighting for championship.
- The images on the left speak of conservatism and nostalgia. This person is immersed in his memories, and the past serves as a guide for him.
- If a person draws something on the right, this, on the contrary, means that he is focused on the future. This means that a person expects positive changes, but the current state of affairs does not suit him. It is worth noting that these analysis rules are specific to each culture. For example, movements from left to right are characteristic of our writing, so conclusions can be drawn from the drawings by analogy.
- The location of the picture either on the left or on the right can be associated with a certain degree of dissatisfaction with life. Usually those people who are uncomfortable in the present look to the past or the future. Therefore, the most harmonious place for a drawing is the center of the sheet.
What does the size of the picture indicate?
The size of the drawing on the sheet is usually associated with a person’s self-esteem. Of course, you should consider the size in relation to the entire space of the sheet if space is limited.
- Large drawings indicate high self-esteem. If the drawing is excessively large and looks unnatural, this may indicate arrogance and vanity, the underlying cause of which, on the contrary, is lack of self-confidence.
- Particular uncertainty is evidenced by drawings that strive to take up all the space on the sheet. This is due to the psychological mechanism of compensation: if a person cannot establish himself in his place in life, mentally he strives to take all the best, to take up as much space as possible. Usually such people are extroverts who, for one reason or another, cannot sufficiently realize themselves in society. This is reflected in the drawings.
- Introverts tend to draw small images and leave a lot of empty space around them. Psychologists interpret unreasonably small drawings as constriction, stiffness, fear and anxiety. Such people are emotionally closed, feel discomfort in the outside world, are embarrassed about themselves or do not trust their environment.
Color drawings in psychology
For the most part, children's drawings are analyzed using this parameter. Adults usually make drawings casually with the pencil that is at hand. The only thing that can be interpreted in adult drawings is the presence or absence of shading. In children's drawings, color has great value for psychologists.
- Green color can indicate independence, self-sufficiency and stubbornness. This color is used by children who want to assert themselves.
- Yellow patterns indicate that a person feels comfortable.
- Blue signifies concern and self-absorption. Blue drawings are made in moments of thinking about the past or in attempts to solve a problem.
- Purple color indicates developed imagination.
- Red color indicates the need to throw out accumulated energy. This color is often used by hyperactive children. Red can also serve as a signal of hidden aggression.
- Gray indicates boredom and lack of positive emotions.
- The color brown denotes subconscious protest. A child who often uses brown paint is dissatisfied with any situation, feels anxious and uncomfortable.
- Black is associated with depression. Such drawings indicate that the child is highly concentrated on his problem and lacks positive experiences.
- In casual drawings by adults, densely shaded figures can mean closedness, a feeling of being contained. Often such drawings indicate creative crisis person.
- If a person never shades his images, this indicates his willingness to perceive new things and accept change.
What do the lines in the picture say?
The lines a person makes can tell you a lot about his character. These lines can be solid or broken, rounded or with sharp corners. Using the lines in the drawing, you can easily decipher even images made by adults casually. This method is equally suitable for analyzing children's and adult drawings.
- Solid lines indicate emotional stability, flexibility and confidence. Such people are usually calm and confident that they will cope with all the difficulties that arise.
- Broken lines, on the contrary, indicate uncertainty and instability.
- Bold lines may indicate a person’s desire to stand out and establish himself. With such lines we can try to compensate for internal uncertainty, the desire to be noticed and appreciated.
- Deliberately thin lines, when a person barely presses the pencil and barely touches the paper, indicate a desire to avoid attention and communication, and a need for privacy. Similar lines can also appear if a person experiences shame and guilt.
- Strictly geometric designs, where all angles are right and all lines are perpendicular or parallel to each other, can mean hidden aggression. Also, such lines speak of conservatism and difficulties in adapting to new things.
- Clearly expressed aggression and hostility can be determined by the abundance of sharp corners in the picture.
- Rounded lines and soft curves indicate the softness and flexibility of a person. Typically, such designs are found in women more often than in men.
- Narrow and miniature figures speak of enslavement, the desire to adhere to the rules and not go beyond the limits.
- Large three-dimensional figures indicate that a person has a broad outlook and is emotionally open.
What do the painted objects say?
Of course, special attention should be paid to what exactly is drawn. Based on what objects a person depicts, you can tell a lot about him.
- Living objects, which include animals or people, indicate a lack of communication and a need for social contact. Also, such images may indicate a difficult problem in a person’s life, which he is afraid to solve alone.
- Empty landscapes depicting nature without people indicate difficulties in communicating and understanding other people's feelings or thoughts.
- Repeating standard simple patterns, such as flowers, clouds, trees or stars, speaks of emotional closeness and an attempt to hide one's true feelings.
- Subject drawings depicting people or animals in motion reveal an active and active nature.
Psychology of adult drawing
Drawings by adults, made casually, can be no less diverse than children's. By what exactly is drawn, one can largely judge a person’s personality. Let's consider the most popular versions of images among adults and their significance in psychology.
- Wavy lines and spirals may indicate that a person is in a difficult situation and is trying to overcome a crisis. Such drawings indicate hopelessness and appear if a person is confused about something.
- The grid indicates that a person feels in an unpleasant, vulnerable position.
- Often people draw the sun or flowers in between times. Unfortunately, the meaning of such drawings is not at all as obvious as it seems. Drawings of flowers in psychology, like drawings of the sun, they most often express sadness and the need for attention and communication.
- Joy can be expressed in drawings with hearts.
- Repeating patterns indicate boredom.
- If a person draws people, it means that he wants to shift responsibility to someone else and avoid work. It may also indicate a need for help and support.
- Drawing of a house in psychology means fatigue, hostility of a person towards the outside world and a desire to relax in an environment favorable for this.
- Chess is usually drawn by people who find themselves in an ambiguous and difficult situation, when they do not know what decision to make.
- A honeycomb drawn by an adult speaks of harmony and tranquility.
- If a person draws geometric figures, this may indicate the firmness of his convictions and confidence in his decision.
Psychology of children's drawings
You can interpret the most common drawings yourself - in any drawing there are always several basic criteria by which you can judge the child’s temperament and emotional state. What do children's drawings mean in psychology?
- Landscapes with a forest, lawn or street without people in children can signal loneliness and communication problems. If a child draws deserted landscapes, most likely his relationships with peers are not going well.
- A drawing of a house, just like in adults, speaks of fatigue and the need for comfort and relaxation surrounded by loved ones.
- Drawings of monsters can indicate internal tension, fear and discomfort. Often such images reflect popular childhood fears.
- Attention should be paid to the drawing of the family. Family drawing in psychology children demonstrate well how they see their family. If the family is depicted in in full force and in bright colors, it means things are going well and the child is comfortable. If the child does not portray someone, it is worth thinking about - perhaps this person is missing in the child’s life, he pays little attention to the child. Black and brown paints in the image of the family they talk about the problems and negativity that the child feels. Also, for young children, the largest figure will mean the head of the family in a child’s understanding.
- Tree drawing in psychology means the desire for knowledge and development. However, how exactly the tree is drawn is also important. In the nursery psychology there are tests based on drawings- one of these tests is that the child is asked to draw a tree. By the presence or absence of roots, one can judge how deeply the child is accustomed to thinking. Trunk curvature or trunk unusual shape speaks of stress, dissatisfaction and discomfort. You can easily evaluate the crown of a tree by the lines of which it consists - whether the lines are rounded or with pointed corners, thin or bold, solid or broken.
- Drawings of animals are considered a good sign in psychology - they indicate the calmness and joy of the child.
- Interpretations of a person’s drawing are given a special place in psychology - this is especially interesting when working with children. If a child draws another person, this often indicates a lack of communication. It is also worth paying attention to whether a specific person is drawn or a certain collective image. If a person is drawn in dark colors and unnaturally large, perhaps the child has a fear of people.
- If a child draws himself, this indicates a need for self-knowledge and self-expression. Children's drawings are often not very proportional; you can also tell a lot from the small details of the image. For example, large ears indicate boldness and a desire to stand out, short legs indicate low self-esteem, and long arms indicate that the child is always ready to try new things.
In psychology based on the drawing of a person a lot can be said about him personal characteristics, and about his mood at a particular moment. By observing your own drawings, you can make sure that the rules for their interpretation work. Of course, when assessing a person, you should not rely entirely on the analysis of his drawings, but some images in which one or another motif can be clearly seen can help you get to know the person a little better.
Video: “What do our drawings say?”
It is a fact that from drawings you can learn a lot about a person’s personality, character, and mood. Psychologists have been using various drawing tests in their diagnostics for a long time.
Most people have this habit. There is nothing scary or surprising about it.
There are several reasons for drawing while talking. This is the organization of the psyche and the release of tension, and an unconscious attempt to hide one’s feelings, and the structuring of information, and compensation for the impossibility or unwillingness of gestures in a conversation with an invisible or visible interlocutor, and a lot more.
You need to pay attention not only to your spontaneous “creativity”. If one day you notice that your boss, colleague or loved one has drawn something similar, take a closer look at it all. Perhaps this simple approach will help you get to know a person more deeply, see his motives and emotions, get to know inner world. As a result, it will be easier for you to establish relationships with him, understand his actions and reactions, and find an approach to communication.
About nine out of ten people between the ages of 18 and 34 draw regularly, while among those over 65 the figure is six out of ten. It is known that John Kennedy loved to depict sailing boats. According to a reputable graphologist, this was a sign of great persistence and vital energy.
Psychologists believe that such a simple activity as drawing helps overcome absent-mindedness without harming the performance of the main task. By drawing, we concentrate better on boring tasks. This was proven by such a simple test. The subjects were given the opportunity to listen to the desired speech, which mentioned different surnames. Half of the volunteers drew while listening. Another suffered without a pencil and paper. The result: those who drew remembered much more surnames - by 29 percent. So, when going to a meeting, feel free to take a pen, pencil, paper with you and get creative!
For example, Pushkin loved to draw faces and figures of people in the margins. And this is a clear sign of sociability and ease of life, increased sociability and dynamism. Remember the famous sketches of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin in the margins of drafts? They are now published in separate volumes.
Boris Yeltsin, they say, when talking with his subordinates, drew straight intersecting lines, which characterizes him as a straightforward and stubborn person, irritating those around him and conflicting not only with others, but also with himself.
The pattern depends on the following components :
the momentary mood of the painter;
human character and temperament;
human orientation (artistic or technical, etc.)
When we draw, and how circumstances influence us.
Meeting
When we listen to what others say without being able (or willing) to respond, we receive information and react to it against our will, expressing our agreement or disagreement through scribbles. If we sit far enough away from our neighbors, then we feel freer to express ourselves: we draw caricatures, caricatures, where the characters are quite recognizable. And if we sit next to each other, we often draw geometric shapes, landscapes, or shade something - by the intensity of the drawing you can understand how strong emotions we are experiencing at the moment.
Talk
(mostly telephone). When we have the opportunity to see the interlocutor (his facial expressions, gestures), we are unlikely to pick up a pencil or pen. A telephone conversation is another matter: we figure out a lot of things, focusing only on the intonation of the voice at the other end of the line. Doodles (meaningless drawings) help us sort out our thoughts, confirm our intentions, and make a decision.
Their scribbles reflect everything that we don’t dare say to our interlocutor’s face.
Loneliness
In a situation of forced loneliness, boring pastime (in the office, waiting room), doodles become for us a form of internal dialogue with ourselves.
Star
It speaks of a desire to be the center of attention, to “shine,” but may indicate a depressive experience (if there are too many rays or they are depicted separately from the star itself).
Human figures
If these are little people, then most likely you feel helpless or want to avoid any responsibilities. When you depict a person schematically (“a stick, a stick, a cucumber—here comes a little man”), your emotional state is unstable, you want to close yourself off and not let anyone near you.
A clown or caricature expresses the desire to hide behind a non-existent image. A robot has appeared on your sheet - you suffer from the control of external forces, you worry that much in life does not depend on you.
However, when the faces are ugly or scary, it means that the author of the drawings is dissatisfied with something or is upset about something.
Eyes
If a person involuntarily draws eyes, this suggests suspicion, as well as a manifestation of concern for public opinion. This person will definitely consult with authoritative people before making a decision.
Small eyes speak of a person’s self-absorption, of his isolation. This person, as a rule, strives to prove his point not with words, but with deeds.
If unnaturally long eyelashes are depicted, this indicates a person’s desire to seduce and demonstrate himself.
Personal signatures
Such mechanical drawings are characteristic of a vain and self-centered nature. The abundance of one’s own signatures, mechanically written on a sheet of paper during a conversation or thinking about some problem, signals an excessive fixation on one’s own person.
Words.
A word circled in a frame is a sign of self-affirmation and conviction that one is right, which can also mean a desire to convince everyone else of this.
A word underlined by a straight and even line speaks of a strong intention to do something.
A word underlined with a wavy line indicates sentimentality and some indecisiveness.
Words written in a “web”, barely noticeable, indicate doubts or that a person has some assumptions or guesses.
Numbers- at the moment you are interested in material things. You are either thinking about how you can make money, or your thoughts are spinning around options on how to pay off your debts.
The sun, light bulbs, garlands and other sources of light and heat. Pictures like these speak of bad mood and desire for care and attention. You lack warmth and tenderness.
Geometric shapes
You have clear goals and beliefs, you almost never hide your opinions, and you are always persistent and persistent. You are usually overly vigilant and cautious, so try to keep things simple.
The depiction of such strict and clear forms indicates that you clearly know the goals you have set for yourself. You are a direct and purposeful person, with a healthy dose of ambition and careerism. But, if those drawn by you geometric shapes too many sharp edges - this is the first sign of increased aggression towards the world around you. Be a little gentler towards the people around you...
Circles and rings
A sign of self-isolation. He also talks about the need to feel safe. If the circles intersect, this may mean a desire to join something, to participate in something.
“I’m lonely, I feel like I’m disconnected from the outside world,” such drawings signal. When we draw circles on paper, the unconscious hints to us that we lack friendly participation and attention.
Spirals, circles, wavy lines they say that you do not care too much or are not at all interested in other people's problems. If you are forced to deal with them, then you try to end them as soon as possible. All your attention is currently focused on yourself.
Maybe you are even experiencing a slight emotional crisis: you are walking in a circle of your ambiguous experiences. Now you need to monitor your behavior so as not to lose your temper and lash out at others.
Such drawings mean that your thoughts revolve around the same problem (no matter personal or professional), for which you cannot find a solution. The thicker and larger the spirals and pretzels displayed on paper, the more serious the problem over which you are racking your brain.
Flowers, sun, garlands Cheerful flowers and the sun are sure signs that you are happy with the way the telephone conversation is going. Most likely, while listening to your interlocutor, you are already dreaming and fantasizing about something pleasant. Such drawings clearly reveal your optimistic attitude and good disposition.
It's not necessarily all good right now, but you're definitely thinking about it.
Flowers are painted by people with a subtle, vulnerable nature. If you constantly depict flowers, you most likely have a rich imagination, are attentive to detail, and think outside the box.
Trying depict a landscape- you are a sentimental and vulnerable person.
Animals
Your emotions today may directly depend on the animal that has settled on your paper. If it is a tiger or a wolf, aggression is hidden in you; if it’s a fox, they’re planning to cheat somewhere; a bunny or a squirrel - you need care and protection, a lion - you feel superior to everyone. When you constantly depict the same animal, bird or bug, you most likely compare it with yourself, attribute its habits to yourself.
If your pet stands on two legs or is dressed in human clothes (pants, skirts, bows, belts, dresses), then you clearly liken it to a person: yourself or some important person in your life. Take a close look, sometimes in such drawings the muzzles of animals are similar to human faces, the shape of the paws is similar to legs and arms. In this situation, all this indicates infantility and emotional immaturity.
When they appear on your piece of paper chess fields, then, apparently, you find yourself in a very unpleasant or at least difficult situation. If such images appear frequently, then you most likely suffer from hidden complexes associated with the inability to resolve some situation or are in search of yourself, your life path, and doubt the correctness of your life.
The alternation of white and black spots (hatched segments) often indicates indecision, self-searching... or a desire to challenge someone seriously (“play a chess game”). It may also mean that you have difficulty making compromises and resolving conflicts.
If you draw crosses, then perhaps you are worried about a feeling of guilt towards a loved one or are burdened by some problem for which you feel responsible.
Labyrinth expresses the search for life harmony, one’s life path.
If you often draw sabers, pistols or other weapons, you have accumulated a lot of aggression, perhaps you are very angry with someone or are generally angry with life.
Endless mazes (or spirals) mean you may not have enough time to think about what you really want.
Houses and boxes. Symmetrical forms demonstrate a love of order, a penchant for planning and calculations. This is what such a drawing says to others: “I am not easily confused, I know exactly what I want, I have clear goals and I am going to resolutely defend my opinion.”
Images house or home furniture they talk about love for a warm homely atmosphere. Such drawings are found among single women or bachelors. However, when they are drawn by married people, this indicates a lack of warmth in the relationship. No matter how houses or household items are depicted, these drawings show the desire to find home comfort and family warmth. But a too clear, repeatedly outlined outline of the house indicates attempts to control one’s actions and emotions.
Trees
It is believed that people who depict trees subconsciously associate themselves with them. That is why it is easier to “read” the author’s character traits from drawings of trees than from any others. So, if you most often depict a tree with a powerful trunk and a large crown (for example, an oak), then with a high degree of probability you can be considered an independent and wise person. You don’t have to be strong all the time; sometimes you can allow yourself little weaknesses.
If the tree depicted has flexible branches with “living” leaves (for example, like a birch tree), then this means that you are very sociable. Loneliness is a real torment for you. If you most often draw a thin tree with bare, leafless branches, know: you need change. Think about your life.
Arrow - this is the vector by which you navigate in life.
Grids appear when you find yourself in a risky or simply awkward situation. Every decisive bold line is an attack that you don't actually dare to make.
The person drawing the lattice either feels driven into a corner, or is trying to hide, to protect himself from this obstacle.
If the strokes are impetuous and fall on the paper with great pressure, then this means: “I feel exhausted, driven into a corner.”
Ornament, a repeating pattern of sharp angles and smooth ovals says that you are bored. Perhaps you are tired of the telephone conversation, maybe the topic of the lecture, or maybe your whole way of life.
Pile of cubes (brickwork)
She says that you are trying to focus on one thing important idea. If the masonry is drawn carefully, your character is methodical and consistent; you know exactly what you want.
saw teeth
They symbolize aggressiveness, which can be positive and mean a desire to fight or negative (anger, hostility).
Dotted lines
If you draw straight or slightly wavy broken (dashed) lines, then perhaps you are experiencing some self-doubt. Overall, you are a fairly calm and relaxed person. Perhaps, before you commit any action, you just need to rest and get distracted.
Bottles, flasks and other utensils.
It is quite obvious: these symbols have nothing to do with a passion for wine, but speak quite frankly about feminine sexuality and the erotic fantasies of their creator.
Fences, barricades.
A man builds a fence, another fence, then several fences. Most likely, in order to isolate yourself from your surroundings. He wants to run away from everyone, hide from prying eyes. And the reason for this is either excessive demands placed on him, or a strong need for peace.
Pattern position Regarding the free space on paper, it can also tell you something. If it is located closer to the top edge, then you have very high self-esteem, but at the same time you may be dissatisfied with your position in society (at work, parties) and feel a lack of recognition from others. The picture at the bottom means that you are unsure of yourself, indecisive, or uninterested in increasing your own importance. If the pictures are predominantly on the left, you are emphasizing your past experiences, focusing on past experience. The right edge of the sheet is drawn - this indicates a desire to quickly bring the events of the future closer; your life and emotions are always turned to something in the future.
Sweeping drawings speak of freedom of thought, and “modest” sketches speak of determination.
If the lines your drawings are “shaggy”, bold, or a lot of shading in general, then perhaps something is bothering you or some unresolved problem is seriously bothering you.
Your “I” can easily be seen in the size of your creations. A large picture means high self-esteem. Small drawing means anxiety, emotional dependence and stiffness.
Color drawings . A separate topic is the color of the drawing, lines or sketches, if any. As a rule, drawings that “came to light” during telephone conversation or meetings are done in one color, with whatever is at hand. Therefore, the appearance of color is in itself evidence that a person wanted to especially emphasize something.
So, when analyzing spontaneous images, you should pay attention to color scheme, in which the drawing is executed. Let us describe several colors and shades:
Red - a spontaneous drawing in which shades of red predominate, as a rule, testifies to the nature of the winner, the desire to conquer more and more heights.
Blue is the color of fatigue; the psychology of drawing deciphers a spontaneous image in blue tones as the desire of its author for peace and solitude.
Green is a symbol of the need for self-affirmation.
Black - a spontaneous image in black tones indicates fatigue and pessimism.
The gray color indicates the author’s anxious state.
Emotional background of the drawing. Regardless of your own experiences, you should give it an objective assessment. For example, a smiling kind animal or a calm sea will indicate a similar state of the artist, and the wind tilting the trees to the ground, the toothy mouth of a shark, the crying sun will in no way be a sign of a peaceful attitude towards the process or event during which the drawing was created.
Drawings that express our emotions are a reflection of our internal state or situational attitude towards the time during which they were created. We can talk about a cheerful little devil as a projection of a good emotional background, a perky mood, a desire to “do something special.” A crying sun will be a sign of internal hidden or obvious frustration or resentment.
Than doodle-in modern form coloring pages - can help you
1. While you are busy drawing something of little meaning, your brain is working at full capacity. Sunny Brown wrote the book The Doodle Revolution. In it she points out that scribbles are special way thinking that allows you to solve problems.
Moreover, I myself physical process, when you move a rod or stylus across paper, activates thinking. This doesn't happen when you fiddle with your computer's mouse or keyboard.
If your primary channel of perception is visual, you already know that the visual way of thinking should be ideal for you. Sketches or diagrams allow you to both systematize information and present it as concisely as possible for memorization. And your favorite sketch can help you create the most suitable scheme.
Grifonage is perfect for perfectionists. This is precisely the activity in which the process is more important than the result. Nobody demands that your doodles have artistic value. No one will say that you are doing it wrong. When you learn to “let yourself go” with your doodles, you may become more able to live your life. life to the fullest, without the desire to certainly achieve something in a short time.
4. Or maybe you will create some wonderful pattern that is worthy of being embodied, if not on canvas in oil, then on home textiles? Bring out the designer in you.
Step 1. Doodle. Without lifting the pencil from the paper, draw on the sheet with random scribble lines.
Step 2. Create the basis of our drawing using the griffonage technique. We need to look at our scribbles and look for the outlines of some figures (it’s better to immediately outline them with a thicker pencil). This could be a landscape, there could be individual figures or silhouettes on general theme(sea inhabitants, space).
Step 3. We paint the figures, add details to them and decide their fate: you can cut out the silhouettes and stick them on a blank sheet of paper or make a collage, or you can paint over the rest of the space as a background.
