As your skills grow, you may want to evolve your stick figures into more complicated forms. For example, check out this group of fleshed-out stick figure drawings.

Cooking Stick Figure

Draw your basic stick figure with its line limbs, circular head, and irregular hands and feet. Beside one hand, draw an oval.

Draw a line across it to form the skillet. Inside, draw a circle with a wavy line around it - the fried egg drawing. Enclose a small oval on the opposite side of the hand, and draw the eyes and mouth to one side so the figure is looking at the pan.

Fighting Stick Figure

Draw your standard stick figure with its arms bent at tight angles, one crossing over the torso. Give special attention to the hands, detailing the thumb and fingers to make a fist.

Draw the facial features on one side of the face so that he is looking at an opponent. Use downturned lines for the frowning mouth and furrowed brows.

Thinking Stick Figure

When you draw this figure, place one hand on the hip and the other on the chin. Add extra details to this hand - its thumb and pointer finger should be spread across the chin.

Draw one eyebrow downturned and the other arched. The mouth should be a squiggle with one upturned and one downturned end. You will find a similar expression on this thinking face drawing.
