Before learning how to draw stick figures: some fun facts before starting sketching!
- Stick figures are very popular in the world of icons and clip arts.
- They are usually drawn by hand with a minimum of lines and details.

Yes... I know! This is a tutorial on... drawing stick figures! Easy? Very easy! But
why? Why do I dedicate a whole page of my website for this?

Simply because you can make a fantastic comic strip with stick figures! You just
need to know how to draw them in an original way.

So original that it might even become a successful strip! I don't need to tell you
how they are made. You already know.

So, let's see how you can draw one that is more original. First, draw a circle for the head and a rectangle for the body. Add
some legs and arms to your character. Notice how I made the hands and the feet with a small oval shape.

You can now sketch the eyes, the mouth and some lines to form the shirt. Now you have it! A simple stick figures with
personality!
Look at all those characters below. Some are really simple (2)(5). Others have big eyes (7)(11). One girl has even a small breast
(9)! The lesson here is simple.

You can draw stick figures with more attitude by adding details like big eyes, clothes, hair or any other things that you might
think of. They don't need to be like the drawing on top of this page. You know... straight lines with a big circle for the head and
dots for the eyes.

Many artists are able to make a living simply by drawing comic strips involving some nice stick figures. Sometimes you might
even think that they were made by a seven year old girl!

Being original is the key! Now that you know how to draw cool stick figures, try to create one... a never-seen-before one!

Proportion in Stick Figures


Proportion is the comparison of the relative size of one thing to another.
When you draw stick figures as the basis for real life drawings, you use the head as a unit of measurement.
You use "heads" as a unit of measurement. A "head" is the distance from the top of the skull to the tip of the chin.
Children vary considerably in proportions at different ages.

Stick Figures and Balance


A figure out of balance looks like it's falling.
In the above drawing the stick figures have no "visible means of support". But see what happens when a means of support is
added:

As a general rule, if a vertical line is drawn from the feet upward, and half of the figure lies on each side of the line, the stick
figure will appear balanced.
Victor Perard's stick figures use a combination of cirles (for the head, chest, pelvis, hands and feet), and lines (for the neck,
shoulders, legs and arms).
Practice drawing these stick figures until you can draw them from memory.
This will help in training the eye to observe proportions, and expressions of figures in action.
After that, draw stick figures in other poses.
Let your imagination go wild!
