![]() Doodles of ears usually means that the doodler feels they have to listen too much to someone.Īccording to Dr Burns, “if you find yourself doodling pictures of houses, you probably place a high value on shelter and security”. Accentuating or drawing only eyes indicates a cautious, suspicious doodler. Missing parts of the face indicate a person who feels fragmented, not whole, or faceless. The face is important: smiles are desirable, obviously, and frowns are not. In full-proportion drawings, not drawing hands indicates a feeling of being unable to do things no feet indicates a feeling of not belonging or not having roots. Rootless trees may indicate that the doodler feels him or herself to be without roots.ĭoodling only profiles indicates that the doodler doesn’t like the way he or she looks, or feels s/he can’t draw well. Bare, drooping branches indicate depression and lack of fighting spirit. Trees represent our egos and our ambitions, so take particular note of the health of the tree! Trees with leaves and fruit indicate that the doodler associates love, sex, and children together. They reveal a rational state of mind and a desire to see things come to a head. Triangles are the second most common universal doodles. I couldnt doodle in peace anymore, i needed answers. I asked myself WHY? If child art spoke volumes about the mind, do doodles mean anything? Then i searched. There are pages and pages of eyes in my notebooks and papers? Another common thing i doodle are CUBES? I used to be so disturbed my these common doodles that appear on my notebook. BIG BIG EYES, FULL OF EXPRESSION AND LASHES. The common things i doodle, espcially in class, until Zelda got irritated by it, are EYES. Its just doodling! I dont think i could just brush it off that way. So why the drink? Sun gives out light and never needs shading from itself, So why the shades? Could young Sabreena be trying to convey some message? Or were my clouds and sun really being coooool! O, why is my cloud drinking coke? Clouds produce rain, they never get dehydrated. Its weird that my sun and clouds are wearing shades. This is another drawing i clearly remmebered drawing in primary school. Why omit the father? Do children know more than we think they do? Even though, the grandmother isnt living with them. And he would draw all other family members, Mother, brother and grandparents. At a tender age, he is able to comprehend the divorce between his parents. He told me, he never drew his father in his pictures. My friend Florian came from a single parent family. And we can tap into their minds looking at their drawings? And later, they found out that this child was raped by a friend of her brother.Ĭhildren draw out feelings they cant express. There was a particular case where a sexually abused child kept drawing a bed outside a house and kept saying “This is where it happened!”. TEETH JAGGERED?- Jagged teeth frequently indicate a tendency toward aggressive behavior, especially when coupled with other serrated graphic symbols such as spiked fingers, feet, ears, and hair. In a sense, the child is blind to reality EYES- When a child draws “empty” eyes, it may mean that she has difficulty relating to the reality around her. On the other hand, if the child does not draw a mouth at all, it may be a sign of his inability to communicate. MOUTH- An anxious, uncomfortable child may represent the mouth with a long slit. Sometimes the child will draw lines leading to the ears, to demonstrate the abusive tone she frequently encounters. It means that character has importance.ĮARS- Exceptionally large ears, unadorned by earrings, can indicate verbal abuse. But if you find the child’s character floating in the air. If the scribbles were done while a parent or other adult was speaking with the child, it can indicate that the conversation was somehow painful to the childįEETLESS?- If the drawings of the child are feetless. If a child scribbles over a drawing with black lines, she may be trying to erase her drawing or make it invisible. COLORS- If a child who has previously used and enjoyed color in her artwork exhibits a sudden and extended rejection of color in favor of black or gray, she may be in a state of denial or apathy. Not because of abuse, maybe it had something to do with her subconscious?Ī drawing of a house without doors, it usually means the child is insecure. But my sister was fascinated with this particular color. My mother told my sister that black is the color of Satan. That reminds me of what my elder sister Zareena did in her kindergarten classes. If you observe a child’s drawing you are able to tell whether they are being abused. Looking back, i asked myself why do i draw my characters without any bodies? Why do they have no noses? Few years back, i came across a book that children’s drawings speak volumes of psychology. This retarded drawing is a remake of what i did when i was four years old.
