It's like you put a label on this person and say that this person is mine. Of course, it may not be all about control, it may also be a sense of belonging, that is, this person belongs to me, or in turn I belong to this person.

A person who is a little older likes to draw children after giving birth to a child. Of course, this is relatively rare, because at the age when you give birth, it may be more important for you to raise children rather than draw them. You don't have time to spend a lot of time painting, but at least you can take a photo of your child, which is easy to deal with.

Of course, we are very easy to take photos now. Children pick up their mobile phones to take photos of their mothers and save them, which is also very easy to save. But the process of drawing can allow you to experience the emotional connection between you and the person you are drawing in this process.

So is still very important to draw another person's image. This is the most effective and easy way for us to experience our love for this person and express our love for this person. There is another opposite situation. Sometimes we hate someone in particular, and we can also draw him. By drawing him, we also gain a sense of control over this person.

Especially after drawing, you can also vent your negative emotions towards this person and express your anger towards him by destroying this painting. For example, you can draw a painting of a certain person and then write "XXX, it's a big turtle..." next to it, or you can paint the face on the painting of this person and paint it with a lot of black colors. Or you finish drawing a certain portrait, tear off the portrait of this person, put it on the ground and step on it to vent your anger.

The ancients would be superstitious and believed that after doing this, it would be really harmful to the person being painted. In fact, the reason why the ancients had such an idea was that they hated someone in their hearts, and then they drew it, and then they tortured the portrait of the person they hated. During this process, their anger was vented, and after he vented it, he felt much better. When he felt much better, he thought why I felt much better? It must be that person, because I did this, he was really hurt. The ancients had such an inner activity that made them believe that doing so was useful.

The ancients' ideas were of course unscientific, but let's think about it. Although it is not scientific, it makes this person's mood improve. Why can't it be done? Wouldn't it be better if he can't really be useful and can't really harm the person being painted? Avoid escalation of war.

To sum up, I think We have two important functions to draw portraits of other people, one is to express love, and the other is to vent hatred. The former is to draw images of people we like and protect them well. The latter is to draw images of people we don't like and to destroy them. From a psychological point of view, this is good for our mental health.
