Walking stick figures signal that it's OK to cross the street.
Basic 2-dimensional forms are used on signs all over the world. Stick figures easily communicate basic human actions and activities through their universal and simple construction. From counters that represent quantities of populations in statistical reports to guides that help you decide whether it is safe to cross the street, stick figures pop up all over modern society. Draw your own walking stick figure to indicate to drivers that pedestrians are nearby, illustrate a simple story or just to practice your basic drawing skills.
Instructions
1. Draw a circle for the head. Try to make the circle as round as possible.
2. Draw a straight line down from the head. Make the line 2 to 3 times longer than the diameter of the head of the stick figure.
3. Draw an arm that first angles down and then up on the stick figure. Begin at the place where the body line meets the head and draw away from the body.
4. Draw an arm that first angles up and then down on the other side of the stick figure. Keep the arm angles small so as to depict a walking posture instead of a running posture.
5. Draw straight legs that start together at the base of the body line but widen and move away from each other.
6. Draw small lines for feet on the end of each leg. Point the feet in the direction of the arm that angles down before angling up.
