The thing is – all you’ll ever need to create a stick figure is a circle and five straight lines for the body, the legs and the hands (00 min 05 sec). You can go with different combinations and even use two curves for the body and the limbs. It all depends on your imagination and, let’s say, your capabilities.

This how to draw stick figures tutorial is all about artistic freedom and going after what your heart desires. Boys, girls, men, women, and even animals – create whatever you want and have some fun with it all! Everything usually starts with the head – a circle (00 min 18 sec). Ovals work as well, but we recommend keeping the ovals vertical. Unless, however, you’re going for an animal or a cartoon character.

The body comes next (00 min 28 sec). Don’t make it too long and keep in mind that if you curve it, that will give the impression that your hero is sad. The legs are the easier, yet, the most important part (00 min 40 sec). They should be longer than both the head and the body. Regardless of the position, the legs must always be longer.

Well, don’t overdo this because then you’ll create something like an alien or the Slenderman. Those are the basics of this how to draw stick figures tutorial. The arms are pretty straightforward. One line should suffice, but if you want something more realistic, experiment with their separate positions. The faces can be unique; yet, we usually just draw two dots for the eyes and a curve for the smile :).
