Those that continued drawing in their teens will include more involved patterns and complex symbolic representations, while people who maintained an interest in creative expression may create intricate doodles and complete drawings. She's famous for her unique graphic style, iconic cover takeovers and client work with amongst others Adidas and Apple. London-based artist and illustrator Hattie Stewart is the undisputed queen of doodle art. People who stopped drawing very early will tend to limit their doodles to repetitive geometric forms and the learned symbols from their childhood. Hattie Stewart designed this wraparound cover for Computer Arts magazine. In the early teens, when realistic expression and detail become important, children keenly feel an inadequacy in their ability to draw realistically, and stop drawing. They might add more complex forms later but rarely learn observational drawing. Children learn a set of formal symbols: the face, house, sun, moon, flower, tree, bird, fish, and basic geometric shapes that are established in early primary school. Usually, we have a limited visual vocabulary that we have at our disposal depending on the age at which our artistic development stalled. When we are otherwise occupied - on the phone, in a meeting or lecture, writing a list - basically, any moderately engaging mental activity with a pen in our hand the censor in our head can be turned off, and we allow ourselves to express the ideas that are locked in our head.
