Sc is pretty boring.
This is an interesting tree!
Drawing style: It's mostly single stroke lines, which suggest a a determined and self-assured person. You shouldn't have too much anxiety in general. You used pink as a colour, not sure if you had others available, but this is a deliberate choice. Might mean you're striving to be feminine?
Positioning: Dead centre, so can't gather too much from it. But is it REALLY dead centre? I'll go on a limb and say there's supposed to be 25+ of those rows in a page, and I can see only 20 here, which would make the tree be positioned on the upper side of the page. So that means you're more likely to plan for the future, than to be concerned about the present/past.
The soil-line would indicate that you're more of a pragmatic person, liking to focus on facts rather than abstract ideas.
That shape for the base of the tree suggests a need for stability in way, and a tendency to take things "slow and steady". If that's musk/spider-web, then it suggests some past that you've put behind, and distanced yourself from.
The trunk is normal. A good sense of self, realistic view of oneself. There's a hole in it though. That's always interesting. Holes always mean trauma that had a lasting effect. In this case, the trauma should've occurred around the middle of your life, so in your hs years I guess?
The branches are a good extension of the trunk, so your interaction with the world is genuine, you're not fake. They are however protruding from the crown. This suggests that you have pent-up hostility and aggression that you're holding in.
The crown is a classic cloud-shaped crown, this sort of crown suggests that the person has a tendency to hide more about themselves.
All in all, it's a pretty normal-looking tree. Not a lot of extreme traits to it. Which is a good thing.
Accurate, inaccurate?
A shadow not so dark.

Very interesting. Accurate I'd say
Sc is pretty boring.
Hmmm. Sorry bout the fold lines. ^ ^
It's quite an artsy tree
Page Positioning: It's central and well balanced, so that's normal, nothing to be said on this really
Drawing style:
The lines are not single stroke which means you've got a greater deal of anxiety than usual
Roots/Soil line: Completely missing, which indicates you're quite a dreamer. You really like imagining situations and day-dreaming rather than being pragmatic.
Trunk: Now this is where it gets interesting. I'm not 100% sure how to interpret it, it's usually meant to represent your ego and how you view yourself. Larger trunk meaning more egoism and thinner more altruism, but you've got multiple smaller trunks! I'd say it's clearly more on the altruistic side, you making sacrifices for others. But the fact that there are different trunks, and they're interleaving would suggest you're a bit confused as to who you really are, what you really want and stuff like that. As a note, potential multiple personalities?
Also at the trunk, you have those 2 black spots, usually, if there's a hole in the tree it would represent trauma. If it's not a hole but rather a wood knot it's an ingrained lesson you've learnt. The position on the trunk would show how recent the trauma/lesson was, closer to the branches would be closer to present, and closer to the soil, would be childhood.
But they're not exactly holes or wood knots, so I don't know. They could be 2 traumatic episodes that happened in your life.
Now for the branches: the more connected to the trunk they are, the more honest you present yourself when you interact with other people. In your case they seem to be connected naturally, extending the trunk, which means you're an honest person.
You don't have a lot of leaves going, except for the top parts of the branches, usually empty, wavy branches, indicate depression and being under pressure, especially if the branches are arching downwards. In your case, you've got some signs of that, but nothing too major. Since their general direction is upwards, and you've got leaves on them at the end, this would probably suggest that you get through depression/pressure successfully and optimistically.(depressed people almost exclusively draw weeping willows trees that are completely devoid of leaves)
Now here is another thing I'm not quite sure how to interpret: if your branches interleave one-another, then that's a sign of internal conflict. But for you, it's the trunks that interleave, and the branches stay separate, so it would seem there's not much internal conflict, but more confusion as to what you actually want. Interleaving like that is also a sign of sadism.
Leaves: Leaves generally refer to your level of satisfaction with life/interacting with others. Since they're concentrated at the end of your branches, this would suggest you keep people at an arms length and are quite careful with who you trust, but since they're abundant, you're have very cheerful relationships with the people you do choose to trust.
Having an animal, or something extra drawn like you did, being attracted by the tree, suggests some sort of lost innocence, and an inner kindness that you have, or just a general altruistic nature to anyone really.
Since you've got a bit more tree to the left side, I'd say you're more nostalgic.
Hmm so yeah, that's about all I can think of
Since the tree is not very usual for any area really, it would indicate you feel kinda out of place with your current surrounding, like you don't belong.(not sure if this is the case, maybe trees like that are common where you live, a good example of this is if someone from northern europe drew a palm tree, stuff like that)
A shadow not so dark.
This is something interesting. Wouldn't straight up call it a tree, but I think it still works. Looks kinda like the thingies on the old french flag. The blue with yellow patterns one. If I click on the image I get a different one, I'm guessing it's the same.
Drawing/painting style: It feels extremely controlled. A very inhibited personality. It's further outlined by the fact that the images are slightly different. This preview one has had its imperfections corrected so that's also pointing to it.
Positioning: dead centre so by itself, it doesn't say much, however, if we're to consider the context of symmetry then it will just serve as further proof of the traits.
Tree is very abstract, and floating in the ether in a way. This shows that you are not a pragmatic person. Day-dreaming and working with abstract ideas are definitely preferred.
The drawing shows a meticulous personality. Extreme symmetry in a tree shows ocd traits.
There isn't really a soil line, but rather a separation line, with a strange type of "root" structure, that's actually just the reflection of what's above. This actually suggests living a "double life". SC on weekdays and wife and kids in the weekend as an example, with the wife and kids not knowing about SC and with SC not knowing you have a wife and kids.
Crown is "layered" in a way, and really symmetrical. This indicates someone that's the archetype of the model employee, rigorous, and playing by the book, being strict about respecting rules. Strict upbringing/ tendency to discipline themselves.
It not being an actual tree per say can mean one of two things. I'm inclined to believe it's the first: Being opositional, like blanc. Not wanting to heed instructions on principle, rebellious. If the tree has bits of it that are different objects and not a tree, that would be an indicator of schizophrenia. I don't exactly know if that's the case here or not, might just be a really abstract kind of tree.
The "branches" would extend the tree in a pretty natural way, so I'd say you're genuine in your expression in the world.
The ends are kinda pointy. And you do have those things on the sides coiling around, so I'd say those are indicators of hostility/aggression and sadism.
That's all I can gather so far. Accurate, inaccurate?

Yeah, I figured you might want the one I drew by hand before I treated it in Photoshop.
The line work is still pretty blurry from using my webcam to upload it, but for uniformity's sake I kept the fill in lines only horizontal and vertical. I can try taking a photo of it again if it matters, as the scanner's in bad shape.
Drawing/painting style: It feels extremely controlled. A very inhibited personality. It's further outlined by the fact that the images are slightly different. This preview one has had its imperfections corrected so that's also pointing to it.
I used tracing paper and it still wasn't perfect, plus with pencil I couldn't do bright lines for the roots that I'd seen in my head.
Positioning: dead centre so by itself, it doesn't say much, however, if we're to consider the context of symmetry then it will just serve as further proof of the traits.
It was on a piece of tracing paper that I folded down to the size of a card.
If I screw up, I have a ton more folds to do drawings on (it was like my fifth attempt).
Tree is very abstract, and floating in the ether in a way.
The line represents the soil, but crops off at a point to make the entire design form an implied diamond shape. It'd also be easy to repeat it as a side by side pattern to imply multiple trees.
This shows that you are not a pragmatic person. Day-dreaming and working with abstract ideas are definitely preferred.
I'd figure that making it a symbol would have lent towards some sort of streamlined abstraction.
I'd been mostly blaming graphic design courses and some studies on runes and symbols.
The drawing shows a meticulous personality. Extreme symmetry in a tree shows ocd traits.
I even used tracing paper to try to make the lines more similar.
There isn't really a soil line, but rather a separation line, with a strange type of "root" structure, that's actually just the reflection of what's above. This actually suggests living a "double life". SC on weekdays and wife and kids in the weekend as an example, with the wife and kids not knowing about SC and with SC not knowing you have a wife and kids.
I share SC with everyone though. At most for a double life there's me handling crazy-me and sane-me, but that me is something I warn people about well in advance and have otherwise had built numerous systems, checks, and balances around to ensure stability when it's otherwise lacking for me.
With enough external work, things can be structured no matter how unstructured I become. If I build my own fences, my own prisons, my own seals, then I can function within them regardless of me. Names, titles, everyone uses these sorts of seals in daily life, but somehow they get swept up by them instead of noticing them plainly for themselves.
I figured it showed a sense of balance through the existing differences, and implied the unseen through not being filled in (the roots), but this symbol basically flashbulbed to me as a tree as opposed to being something planned so there's more room for interpretation. I probably should have colored in the ground, but I wanted to stick to a simple symbol that got the message across more easily.
By keeping it simpler, yet suggestive of possible meanings, it evokes more about them, while making it too busy makes it more about me. I otherwise like to keep things quick and simple so that it's easier to translate towards other things, but I guess making it like that still makes it kinda complicated through it's room for interpretation.
I in general err towards "Less is More" for symbols, and struggle to do so with words. When I try speaking in less of them, they come out strange and symbolic, prone to reference and other callbacks.
It saves me so much time to have a symbol that says everything I want it to, much like an emoji, or using an emotional gif to display a broader concept. While I am not a fan of the abuse of it, I am prone to pictography, referential symbolism, and how it cross-translates with everything else that came before me.
Crown is "layered" in a way, and really symmetrical. This indicates someone that's the archetype of the model employee, rigorous, and playing by the book, being strict about respecting rules. Strict upbringing/ tendency to discipline themselves.
That's not wrong, but drawing a symbol for this exercise isn't really "playing by the book" in the conventional sense, is it?
It not being an actual tree per say can mean one of two things. I'm inclined to believe it's the first: Being opositional, like blanc. Not wanting to heed instructions on principle, rebellious. If the tree has bits of it that are different objects and not a tree, that would be an indicator of schizophrenia.
Indicator of schizophrenia that believes it's own hype, and I am not being defiant, this is a tree to me. When I see any tree I look at it for it's function and how it's liable to grow, and the symbols show the directions it's liable to go and a rough sense of ideal proportions.
I'd think that my trying to avoid it denotes an aim towards simplicity and control. It's super busy up there, so keeping the designs simpler makes it easier on everyone.
Simplified designs and symbols help me translate all the chaos up there into a single direction, and meanings can be applied to it (one of the only principles behind Chaos Magic Runes that has a basis in reality). Look at the McDonalds golden arches and the basis of how it works is right there.
I don't exactly know if that's the case here or not, might just be a really abstract kind of tree.
I tend to err more towards simpler designs that evoke or imply more ideas than the number of strokes it took to make it.
I like to invite the imagination in a practical sense, play on our ability to discern meaning from symbols.
It's similar to my use of emojiis, they say more about the sentence that I attached it to in a lot less time, and it has more spirit behind it than "---, and that makes me happy".
The "branches" would extend the tree in a pretty natural way, so I'd say you're genuine in your expression in the world.
A genuine double life? :V
The ends are kinda pointy. And you do have those things on the sides coiling around, so I'd say those are indicators of hostility/aggression and sadism.
Sadism/Masochism tend to be similar symbols don't they?
Sadism or the desire to hurt tends to be spikier going outwards, while more masochistic designs tend to have it cutting through them or otherwise shrouding them in ways that imply a prison of passion and comfort. A rose for example is a masochistic symbol, while a needle is more sadistic.
The fact that it curves inwards I think gives the semblance of a possessive mindset, as if it wants to coil or grasp around something.
That's all I can gather so far. Accurate, inaccurate?
It's up for interpretation, but I have a fun book I got while I was still in college on symbols and signs with entries on the cultural impacts of some basic shapes if you'd like for me to copy that small section into this topic.
