Drawing Style

When I first started working with four year olds I was so surprised to find that each of them had a recognizable drawing style. After a couple of weeks I could not only tell who made which picture but I could tell who made which scribble. I’m fascinated by how this is possible. How is a four year old able to make drawings that are so consistent enough for everyone to recognize?

The kid who drew this series had many more scenes of “This Guy” who was screaming or crying in different places.
