Overall impression:
the 6 years old male child have not fully developed a repertoire of graphic equivalents or symbols for the Human Figure Drawing (HFD). The HFD , draw a person have a clearly differential head and trunk with arms and legs palced in appropriate locations, but details such as clothing, hands, feet, fingers, nose, and mouth some are not receive attentions.

this figures is looking like advanced stage "tadpoles" symbols. The head is too small while the body/ the trunk is big. the fingers is sharp but with no special pointing downward. in the article "Young in Art, a developmental look at child art" by Craigh Ronald 1990, 2006, page 6 on Art and self-image: Head is drawn larger by  child because of its importance to the child (it's where eating and talking goes on). In this HFD, the mouth is not exist, and head is tiny, is there any speech and language difficulty?

no mouth, no ears, and no hairs represent in this figure drawing.  what is happenings to the head and face? is incomplete.

what happens to his intellectual ability? is this a special needs child?
the way figures standing positions is looked likes unstable, left leg is smaller, the right  feet is bigger and with different height and width.

is this consider poor self image?
what is the meaning if i m giving 24 points for this HFD?
