Are there any resident pyscologists amongst us ? Particularly with a gift of analysing a drawing and getting some idea of the personality behind it.
From the little Psychology I've picked up from the OHs degree. If anybody says they can analyse a single drawing and understand the personality of the person who did it. I would suggest they are talking b

, but I have a few, not just one.I'm not so sure about it being bks.
I used to work at a school and a class of 8 year olds were asked to describe love and add a drawing too.
One of them said "My mummy loves me, my daddy loves me and my step dad loves me." and then the drawing was of a little girl on a chair crying.
Didn't take a genius to sense there's something going on there.

This is PH. Of course, it's bks. I used to work at a school and a class of 8 year olds were asked to describe love and add a drawing too.

Post itks no matter who you find. The only difference is whether the bks will be convincing or unconvincing.The Stuntman * said:

What is it you're hoping to understand from said images?
Just the state of mind of the artist and whether the drawings reveal anything about their character.If you're thinking that brush strokes are going to tell you anything then you're probably barking up the wrong tree.

Ah but that's a picture with context. If you were shown the picture with no context what would it mean? It could well mean someone has been asked to draw a picture of a child crying on a chair.ks.

I was suggesting a picture with no context is next to useless in this instance.

What's the subject matter? That's probably the only indicator.

OK, a few are of an erotic nature, semi clothed revealing breasts and nakedness but certainly not pornographic or distasteful. These are self portraits of the person who drew them. In addition, the title of the drawings would perhaps help an analysyst with their analysis.If you're thinking that brush strokes are going to tell you anything then you're probably barking up the wrong tree.
Others from the same artist are fictional characters with a darker side to them.

If I were Freud, I would say that she wants to sleep with her father/brother/mother and the self portrait is in fact how she wishes others to see her. Naked.
Drawings don't really tell a lot about an individual, contrary to popular belief.
They could of course show some of the basics, but often a psychologist isn't needed to see if a picture comes across as 'dark' or has a theme
What can be determined however, is the development of a child. Simples things such as circles, triangles, the angle of a chimney on a roof, the way children always draw ponytails on the side of a persons head, the first 'people' they draw which are circles with legs (combined body and head (awsome)) etc.

Now THAT'S fking freaky.Is this merely guesswork or do you have some solid basic foundation to your analysis?
ETA - would you share Freuds views if this was his interpretation ?

Carl Jung would probably see this as being less about how she wants to be seen, and more about her participation in the collective unconscious ... if you like, it's her take on the way she expects others to perceive her. If she depicts herself with a partially exposed breast, it's because she thinks others see her as a bit of a tit.
