With its grim but boyish humour this solitary, solid object shows he is independent, strong minded and not inclined to be pushed around. Rows of straight lines are a sign of systematic work and self-control, but the pointed tongue shows how rude he would like to be, while the crossed eyes and raised eyeline capture his disbelief and scepticism as he listens with one ear only, ready to pull the plug.
Working alone can be lonely, so when his pencil wanders it may be expressing feelings not consciously acknowledged. The face that emerged here is that of a strong, mature and sensitive man who appears to be reflecting on his life as he looks down through the years. To the right is a blank space, as if he would rather not think about the future.
The expression is questioning and anxious, though the eyes are partially obscured, suggesting he may be reluctant to see this in himself. The lips, too, are shaded and hardly open, as if experience has taught him the wisdom of discretion, especially in business. Strong men avoid showing weakness but in later life may find themselves more in touch with their feminine side as they have less to prove. Crossed and circular patterns represent opposite personality traits, so the presence of both in the background suggests this process may have begun.
This doodle grew slowly, line by line, creating a form that took on a life of its own, like an exotic plant or strange bird. Cool, calm and collected is how she is likely to appear, judging by this beautifully smooth and self-contained drawing.
The exceptional control and finesse in this elegant, formal design shows she has high standards and likes to be in control, so takes great pains over preparation and presentation. The sharp points and fine lines dissecting the interior indicate that she has a keenly critical, analytical mind and demands much of herself. And the exterior beak-like shapes, with their dark shading hinting at underlying aggression, show she is determined to succeed.
A highly developed intellect is indicated by this constellation of triangles and stars that appears to float in space. It shows exceptional clarity of thinking, ability to understand abstract concepts and good powers of reasoning, analysis and organisation. The straight lines and heavy infill indicate she also has strong willpower, but can lack flexibility.
The integral spaces reflect the active inner life of an introvert who must have space to think and work. Dealing with people is not her strong point, but the growth of an outer ring to her doodle suggests she has widened her social circle.
Whether she is being held back or is holding herself back is unclear, but a clue may lie in the inner square which suggests security is still a concern for her. Several common symbols appear in this doodle. How about we start with doodles of ourselves. Drawing human figures indicates a successful person: someone with a healthy self-image who connects identity to a complete body. It suggests a person is in control of their emotions and can achieve their goals.
That only shows how much artistic training the doodler has, not the meaning behind it. Faces alone are worth a closer look. Before diving into the hidden meaning of these doodles, you first have to determine whether the doodle represents how the creator sees themselves or other people. In general, beautiful and attractive faces reflect a positive and optimistic outlook.
Ugly faces represent a negative or distrustful view. Pay attention to the eyes and the mouth. Extra detail on eyes could suggest a desire to be noticed.
Lush, voluptuous lips can mean a deep-seated, secret desire. Face shape and style is also telling. Cartoonish face doodles signify a need for attention.
Wide, circular faces mean innocence think of a smiley-faced sun , and neediness. Even the direction of the face is telling; profiles tend to be popular among introverts. Flowers are one of the most popular drawing motifs, ingrained in us from childhood. Flowers indicate a gentle, passive or even fragile nature. Today, flowers are also associated with environmentalism, so people thinking deeply on green issues might find themselves doodling flowers. This kind of doodles typically indicates a person who is efficient, analytical, and in control.
This is doubly true with a checkerboard, which suggests patience and persistence as the doodler weighs every option. Scattered or unconnected bricks indicates a positive association with walls, like planning a new home or the place you met a schoolyard crush. Upward-facing arrows show ambition, optimism or motivation. Downward-facing arrows show dread, pessimism or worry. Always pay attention to what is drawn with an arrow. An obvious example: arrows drawn with hearts are obvious signs of a desire for love.
You already know about the birds and the bees, but what about butterflies, dragonflies and other flying creatures? While they may seem cutesy or romantic, their true meaning is really a desire to be free and not tied down. Doodles of flying animals may crop up more if you feel strained by a particularly frustrating project.
More on those later. Like flowers, houses are a common motif instilled in us during childhood. Consider the mindless doodling that involves filling in all the closed loops on a printed page with your pen. Then he could enjoy five days of comparative leisure, doodling in the studio, reading, riding, rowing, and spending the evenings with male friends.
The doodling seemed to fit. This was helped by our process of meeting and doodling , followed by one or other of us drawing something up for the other to comment on or develop further. Donna's doodling corresponds neatly with this phase. The paper is covered in a series of doodlings.
From the Hansard archive. Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3. If a local authority official spends more than ten minutes on this piece of paper, he will be doodling to pass the time.
I believe that it came from a member of the press who was doodling. I recall a child who produced what was thought to be scribbling and doodling but which turned out to be most accurate mirror-writing, though in a rather shaky hand. It cannot be argued that for the past three or four years that number of people have sat in the council's offices doodling on their blotters.
