Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the composition itself - is it a related plot or several separate drawings? What was the pressure with which the drawings were made? If he is strong, and the lines are clear, then the person was most likely in a state of some kind of tension. Light strokes, weakly expressed contours indicate the relaxed state of the author.
Step 2
Pay attention to the colors in 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 a person's head is filled with different thoughts, or he cannot decide on something.
Step 3
The placement of the picture also matters. Divide the illustration sheet into four parts visually. Which one contains the image or most of it? If it is located at the bottom of the sheet, this may indicate low self-esteem and lack of confidence in the author. If the drawing is located at the top of the page, the author is quite pleased with himself. The image in the upper left corner speaks of the rational mindset of its creator, in the upper right - the author has a figurative type of thinking.
Step 4
What lines prevail in the picture? Circles speak of a calm, balanced state of a person; a square indicates firmness 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. Straight open lines - a person is stubborn and independent of other people's opinions. The house shown in the figure indicates that its author is busy with thoughts about the family, life. If the family nest looks crooked and sloppy, then our artist is strained by the situation in the house and are burdened by everyday problems.
