Question

How can I make the stick figures do something?

Community Answer

You can draw their arms and legs in different positions to give the illusion that they're moving, running, jumping, etc. You could even make a flip book if you wanted to watch the figures move.

Question

How do I draw hair for these figures?

Community Answer

Just draw lines going down the head for long hair, or spikes coming out of the head for short hair. Try wavy lines for curly hair, or coloring it dark for darker shades of hair.

Question

Can I give the stick figures nipples?

Christopher

Top Answerer

No. Stick figures aren't meant to show much - if any - real detail outside of expressions on the figures face.
