An online game made by Google helped discover interesting patterns in how people from different countries draw things.

In 2016 Google launched an online game called Quick, Draw! where players had to draw a picture of an object while the program’s neural network attempted to determine what the drawing represents.

LA-based artist Kyle McDonald sifted through millions of images accumulated by the program and discovered that people from different countries tend to draw certain things differently.

For example, it turns out that people in some countries in East and Southeast Asia tend to draw chairs in perspective, while the rest of the world tends to draw this piece of furniture from the side.

​Smiley faces drawn by people from some Asian countries tend to smile with their eyes as well.

​A French 'candelabra' sits on the table while an English 'chandelier' hangs from the ceiling.

​Images of a house drawn by Russians usually feature windows instead of doors.

​Snowmen drawn in Asia usually consist of two parts instead of three like in other countries.

​Which way fish and ducks face also often depends on where the drawing was made.

​And it appears that the best indicator of where you live is the way you draw a power outlet.
