Little People Basics – Printable Templates – PDF (English)
A printable resource to practice sketching simple but characterful stick figures in different poses
I created this resource for everybody who wants to get better at drawing people and is looking for inspiration on how to practice this skill.
The main PDF contains 120 illustrations of friendly and expressive stick figures in different poses (standing, sitting, lying, walking running and jumping in different ways).
You can copy the postures for your personal practice or start creating your own variations, characters and stories. The download also contains a 10-page PDF with ideas for how to play with the little people and turn them into your own versions.
All 120 illustrations are available in two versions.
The first version is the full stick figure with a basic facial expression. Use this version as a template to practice by copying the poses and expressions.
The second version is a light-grey line drawing without any facial features. You can either simply trace the lines so your hand can gain more confidence in drawing the shapes or you can draw your own variation of the pose, adding more details and your own facial expressions on top of the underlying ‘skeleton’.
For those you like sketching digitally, the grey line templates are also available as JPGs to easily import into the sketching tool of your choice (like Procreate, Adobe Draw or Affinity).
