Simply because you can make a fantastic comic strip with stick figures! You just need to know how to draw them in an original way.
So original that it might even become a successful strip! I don't need to tell you how they are made. You already know.
So, let's see how you can draw one that is more original. First, draw a circle for the head and a rectangle for the body. Add some legs and arms to your character. Notice how I made the hands and the feet with a small oval shape.
You can now sketch the eyes, the mouth and some lines to form the shirt. Now you have it! A simple stick figures with personality!
Look at all those characters below. Some are really simple (2)(5). Others have big eyes (7)(11). One girl has even a small breast (9)! The lesson here is simple.
