stick figure
noun stick figures · stickfigure
- A line drawing with a circle for the head and straight lines for the torso and limbs. The first thing one notices about the painting is the striking difference in style between the human figure and the animals; the animals are rendered in the naturalistic style of the other figures at Lascaux, but the man is a mere stick figure and is so stylized as to seem some sort of mediation bet
- An outline, with a more realistic body shape, commonly used on warning signs, bathroom doors, and in other such symbols.
-
A skinny person.
Similar: skin and bones, thin person
