I will draw a stick man

A stickman, or stick figure, is a universal symbol depicting a human or animal with a minimalist approach. The drawing typically consists of a circle for the head and straight lines for the body and limbs. Due to their simplicity, stickmen are instantly recognizable and can convey a wide range of emotions and actions through pose and context rather than facial features.

This simple visual language has been used for various purposes throughout history, from early cave art to modern infographics, signage, comics, and animation. Stick figures are known for their flexibility, appearing in different styles and complexities depending on the medium. Some iterations, like those in the online Animator vs. Animation series, even become complex characters with unique personalities and abilities, transcending their simple form.
