Drawing Spirals

Postby Chris » Mar 23rd, '10, 16:46



Ok so when Im bored or day dreaming I draw Spirals...what do you draw and what do you think it means?

Placement
On the page, where is your doodle?
If the doodle is on the left side of the paper, the doodler is oriented in the past. This person is private minded, reserved and cautious, an introvert. They will take longer to warm up to others and reveal who they are in public places.
If the doodle is in the center of the paper, the doodler is oriented in the present. This person is said to be professional, an extrovert, someone who seeks the limelight.
If the doodle is on the right side of the paper, the doodler is oriented to the potential or future. This person is public minded, outgoing and socially motivated. They are more concerned with the future than the past or present. They are progressive thinkers who function best as a team player.
If the doodle is placed on the top of the paper, the doodler is said to be a postive enthusiastic thinker. This person is an innovator and consistently devises new approaches, concepts and solutions.
If the doodle is placed at the bottom of the paper, the doodler is a negative thinker with a low level of enthusiasm. They are less willing to share or come forth with any ideas at all.

Pressure
The amount of pressure you put on your doodle tells even more.
Heavy pressure says that you are responsive and have controlled aggression. This doodler may reveal a temper when treated in a manner they perceive as unfair or
incorrect.
Medium pressure says that you have a well balanced nature.
Light pressure says that you are a receptive and sensitive. This doodler is someone who is easily influenced.
Erratic pressure says that you are emotionally unstable. This doodler is someone whose temperament fluctuates and is considered unreliable and untrustworthy.

Practice
Repeating the same doodle, shading the doodle, placing the lines of the doodle, and using color in your doodle also tell you about yourself.
Repeating the same doodle over and over on the same page are in a mood that rules the moment. This doodler is being emotionally and mentally compulsive. This is not the time for the doodler to make serious or impartial decisions where others are concerned.
Shading the doodle states that you have differing anxieties such as fear. You are in a state of negativity.

Coloring your doodle tells you even more about the doodler. Using the color blue states that the doodler is in a calmer reflective mood. Red shows the doodler in a heightened mood. Green shows envy or resentment. Yellow shows financial or health concerns. Brown shoes a need for security. Purple shows inconsistency or self importance. Gray shows impartiality or indifference. Black shows anxiety or pessimism.
Placing a line under your image shows that you are seeking balance while placing a line over the image shows that you are seeking refuge.
When your doodle is composed of various designs, this shows that you have diverse talents, have a good imagination and varied interests. It shows that you are not stuck in the moment or are mentally compulsive.
But a dominant design or pattern will often reveal the source of an issue.

Images
If your doodle is an image, they can be as revealing as the above.
Doodling flowers indicates usually that you are a woman. They show that you have a gentle personality, a love of nature, a childlike innocence. They represent the passive aspect of nature. Doodling roses with sharp thorns though show a betrayal of love.
Doodling faces depends on whether or not the face represents you or someone else. A smiley face says the doodler has a happy-go-lucky nature. Beautiful faces are usually drawn by girls and are usually idealized self portraits and that you are a people person. Ugly faces show a dislike of people and a bad temper. Note: cartoons are artworks rather than doodles.

Doodling parts of faces: If you doodle eyes you are showing a frustrated artistic talent and a wish to be desirable. Staring eyes or eyes shown through keyholes show that you have a feeling of being watched and your privacy is being invaded. Doodling voluptous lips indicate a frustrated desire

Doodling people: If you doodle stick figures you are showing an artistic developement that was stalled very early. Interpretation of people doodling depends on the amount of detail, who the figures are, and what they are doing. More complex figure drawings require a lot of thought and actually leave the doodling art and actually become conscious drawings and artwork.

Doodling houses represent home life. A nice neat house shows you are happy at home. But doodling homes with aymetical shapes, untidy lines or no windowns shows you have an unhappy home life. Smoke coming from a chimney shows a welcoming fire and warmth.

Doodling shapes: Doodling regular geometic shapes shows an organized and efficient mind. Doodling triangles which is a geometically stable shape also shows direction and a sense of purpse. Doodling circles shows a form as an eternal whole. There is no beginning or end and also represents the universe. Doodling squares shows a formal, mathematical, scientific order, and shows you are earthbound. Doodling random or abstract shapes: if you have a wandering line that is not closed you are shoing aimlessness and distraction. A purposeful or closed line indicate unease. Doodling stars show an ambitious person and a desire for self-promotion. Little stars show optimism while asymmetrical stars show excess energy. Doodling mazes show a feeling of being lost with nowhere to turn or being unsure of which direction one has to take. Doodling hearts generally shows you are in love or have a romantic disposition.

Doodling boxes or perspective forms shows an advanced stage of artistic development. Simple 3-D boxes show an order mind and a love of routine and a good sense of spatial relationships. Stacking those boxes indicate great stress especially if that stack is in danger of toppling. Complex 3-D boxes are usually done by artists and designers or anyone who uses technical drawing. The doodler of these are motivated to experiment with design.

drawing spirals tends to mean ... An expression of an imprisoned mind with a high sense of hopelessness.


The tighter and intricate the spirals, the more complicate and difficult the situation.

I dont doodle, well, if i do it tends to be cartoon faces, or ideas for an Illusion...

you're like Yoda.you dont say much, but what you do say is worth listening to....

Yes I read that about Spirals...means Ive got issues...Although it always seems rather more peaceful and hypnotic drawing them so I think its something else...thought this would be an interesting thread since us entertainer types minds are usually always playing with something as to what we all doodle...

I draw geometric solids and shade them with cross hatching. The thing is, I think in pictures, so I'm probably doodling all the time.

I used to doodle a lot, but not much any more. My typical doodles are either monsters, animals, or carefully mirror-symmetrical branching tree-like things, in that order.

That's assuming I'm not trying to think about anything in particular.

i'd say your spirals indicate that you over-think things too much and end up "going around in circles" all the time...never settling on anything for too long before you're off again onto something else...

bet you say "never enough hours in the day" a fair bit...

it'll also mean that you'll have trouble settling on a theme, and you'll find yourself drifting off or over complicating an idea that you have...

Nah, drawing spirals mean you are a married man, have an interest in the darker/ghostly side of magic, and enjoy using the "ou-to-lunch princple" (in both magic, and with the wife...though not as much with the wife)

Depending on which direction you draw them, it means you are either successful at your day job, or unsuccessful.

It also means you are part of equity.

Did I hit much? :D

Love

Chris

I can't say I buy much into the analysis side of things, but I'd be interested to know what people make of this...

...I sometimes "doodle" in AutoCAD when I want a brief break from work. One thing I sometimes do is draw 2 boxes 1mm by 1mm and next to them a 2x2, then a 3x3 and then a 5x5 and so on through the Fibonnacchi sequence... then I join them all up with a series of curves to produce a perfect Fibonnacchi spiral (approximating a golden spiral).
Sometimes I leave the boxes in and sometimes I take them out. Sometimes I mirror either the boxes or the spiral so they make a non-symmetrical mirror image (if that makes sense, a mirror line with the spiral on one side and the boxes on the other).

The thing is - I don't even buy into all the stuff people read into the spiral or the sequence!

OK, what's all this then? I don't know the first thing about psychoanalysis but I'll have a go.

You are probably right handed.

Light pressure says that you are a receptive and sensitive. This doodler is someone who is easily influenced.
Erratic pressure says that you are emotionally unstable. This doodler is someone whose temperament fluctuates and is considered unreliable and untrustworthy.


You are definitely right handed. Try holding the pen or pencil in your right hand instead of your left. That should make it easier to doodle and sort out your pressure problems.

Practice
Repeating the same doodle, shading the doodle, placing the lines of the doodle, and using color in your doodle also tell you about yourself.
Repeating the same doodle over and over on the same page are in a mood that rules the moment. This doodler is being emotionally and mentally compulsive. This is not the time for the doodler to make serious or impartial decisions where others are concerned.

Practice makes perfect. Leonardo Da Vinci wasn't born a artistic genius you know.

Green shows envy or resentment. Yellow shows financial or health concerns. Brown shoes a need for security. Purple shows inconsistency or self importance. Gray shows impartiality or indifference.

This means you don't have colour blindness which is good to know.

This means you have no artistic ability whatsoever. I would look at career in accountancy if I were you. Sorry.

Doodling parts of faces: If you doodle eyes you are showing a frustrated artistic talent and a wish to be desirable. Staring eyes or eyes shown through keyholes show that you have a feeling of being watched and your privacy is being invaded. Doodling voluptous lips indicate a frustrated desire


You have some drawing skill, but don't give up on the accountancy just yet.

Doodling people: If you doodle stick figures you are showing an artistic developement that was stalled very early. Interpretation of people doodling depends on the amount of detail, who the figures are, and what they are doing. More complex figure drawings require a lot of thought and actually leave the doodling art and actually become conscious drawings and artwork.


What did I tell you about holding the pencil in your right hand?

Doodling houses represent home life. A nice neat house shows you are happy at home. But doodling homes with aymetical shapes, untidy lines or no windowns shows you have an unhappy home life. Smoke coming from a chimney shows a welcoming fire and warmth.


This means you are only four years old. Aaaah... sweet. We'll stick it up on the fridge shall we?

Doodling shapes: Doodling regular geometic shapes shows an organized and efficient mind. Doodling triangles which is a geometically stable shape also shows direction and a sense of purpse. Doodling circles shows a form as an eternal whole. There is no beginning or end and also represents the universe. Doodling squares shows a formal, mathematical, scientific order, and shows you are earthbound. Doodling random or abstract shapes: if you have a wandering line that is not closed you are showing aimlessness and distraction. A purposeful or closed line indicate unease.

You're a Trekkie. Harmless, but can get a bit annoying after a while. The original series was the best. Get over it.

Doodling boxes or perspective forms shows an advanced stage of artistic development. Simple 3-D boxes show an order mind and a love of routine and a good sense of spatial relationships. Stacking those boxes indicate great stress especially if that stack is in danger of toppling. Complex 3-D boxes are usually done by artists and designers or anyone who uses technical drawing.

You have a real flair for dimension and perspective. Ever thought about starting a career as an artist? :D

I can help with your practical/personal or relationship problems too you know? :wink:

That means at times you want to reach goals but you find these keeping you within boundaries and then you must use fairy dust to set yourself free like a butterfly and then your good ideas will come through. :D

The left/right side of the paper does have a lot to do with handedness. Being left-handed, I naturally start at the right and work my way leftwards. Even more so if I'm using a bound or spiral notebook, since it's hard to rest the hand in the binding.
