A stick figure, also known as a stickman, is a very simple drawing of a person or an animal, composed of a few lines, curves, and dots. On a stick figure, the head is most often represented by a circle, which can be either a solid color or sometimes embellished with details such as eyes, a mouth, or hair. The arms, legs, and torso are usually represented by straight lines.

Its simplicity and versatility led to the stick figure being used for a variety of purposes: infographics, signage, comics, animations, games, film storyboards, and ...
