Expressive Stick Figures

The purpose of this activity is to get you more

comfortable with using the pen tool, simple shapes
and the stroke palette.
Using only the pen tool and at least one of the
available shape tools, create either:
- a common stick figure in multiple poses, or,
- a group of unique stick figures interacting.
Create at least 6 stick figure drawings. Show the
stick figures in a variety of expressive poses, relying
on the shapes in the figure for expression (ie. limit
facial expressions).
Create your stick figures using as few anchors as
possible, and experiment with different stoke end
and corner styles.
You may also create props for your stick figures to
use or interact with (eg. vehicles, weapons, etc.).
