Instruction manual
one
Pay attention to the composition itself - is it a connected plot or several separate drawings? What is the pressure with which the drawings were performed? If he is strong, and the lines are clear, then the person most likely was in a state of some kind of tension. Light strokes, slightly pronounced contours indicate a relaxed state of the author.
2
Pay attention to the colors of the picture. Bright and saturated - a person is excited and active, dark - indifference or depressed mood. The composition is rich in shades, which means that the person’s head is filled with different thoughts, or he can’t decide on something.
3
The placement of the pattern also matters. Visually divide the illustration sheet into four parts. Which of them contains the image or most of it? If it is at the bottom of the sheet, this may indicate underestimated self-esteem and uncertainty of the author. If the picture is located at the top of the page, its author is quite pleased with himself. The image in the upper left corner indicates a rational mindset of its creator, in the upper right - the author is characterized by a figurative type of thinking.
4
What lines prevail in the picture? Circles speak of a calm, balanced state of a person; a square indicates hardness and stability of character; the abundance of sharp corners, figures with more than four corners indicate that the author of the drawing is annoyed with something, cannot decide, something is bothering him. Direct open lines - a person is stubborn and independent of the opinions of others. The house depicted in the figure indicates that its author is busy with thoughts about family and life. If the family nest looks crooked and messy, then our artist is annoyed by the situation in the house and burdened by household problems.
note
An important point is the image of a person who, as it were, hangs in the air or has a support. If he stands on something, then the author feels the ground under his feet. If there is no support, then there is internal insecurity or fear of something.
Useful advice
If the details are well drawn, then for the author of the drawing it is important to receive information, learn something new. If some part is depicted more clearly than the others or differs in large size, then this indicates that a person receives information from what he has heard or seen.
