Drawing Stick People<\/h2>\n

Ever wonder how to draw stick people? Well, it’s easier than you think! As a matter of fact, you don’t even need to be an artist or have a creative background to create cool illustrations with some simple stick figures.
\nA stick person essentially consists of four parts — the head, two arms, and two legs. The key to drawing a good stick person is that the body parts need to be proportionate and the legs should be bent slightly at the knees. Let’s look at the stages of how to draw a stick person step-by-step.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Start with a Circle<\/h2>\n

The basic outline of your stick person starts with a circle. This will be the head and it needs to be the same height as the body. The best way to draw the circle is to use a pencil and compass or any other round object like a cup or jar. Alternatively, you can draw a perfect circle with basic geometry skills.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Add the Body and Arms<\/h2>\n

Next, draw the stick person’s body and arms. The arms should be straight, parallel to each other, and the same width as the head. Don’t forget to draw two lines connecting the arms to the body. The body should be long and straight and should be slightly wider than the head.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Complete with Legs<\/h2>\n

Finally, draw two bent lines for the legs, making sure the knees are slightly bent. Make sure the legs are in proportion with the body and arms. A good rule of thumb is that the distance between the knees and elbows should be the same length.<\/p>\n
