A stick figure is a very simple type of drawing, generally of the Human form, although stick figures of other types of Animal s are possible (for example, a stick figure Dog ). In a stick figure, the Head is represented by a circle, sometimes embellished with details such as Eye s or crudely-scratched-out Hair . The Neck , Arm s, Leg s and Torso are all represented by single straight lines (thus the name). The neck and torso are different segments of one straight line. Generally, stick figures are drawn by hand with a pen or pencil and have hard, defined edges. Though not displaying very much detail, what is drawn is generally required. For instance, if one was to draw a person, the person's Eyebrow s would generally only be drawn to provide a sort of Facial Expression , be it of anger or shame. Stick figures have proven effective as a source of Advertising , Entertainment and as a form of Storyboarding and practice for Filmwork . This is especially crucial for creating "animatics", as a film Special Effects team is then able to visually display the outcome of a scene by using stick figures, but saving in money, time and effort of providing a completed shot, but only having to have the necessary information provided.
