Help Creating Stick Figure

Question

Hi,

I am trying to make or copy a stick figure playing a violin. See the attached pic. I am trying to replicate in Photoshop the figure shown. I am making a custom t-shirt with some stick figures.

My approach here is to make a layer path for each 'segment' of the body; truck, one for each leg, a path for each arm, etc. Does this approach make sense?

I am having a tough time getting the feet correct.

ANY ADVICE on the feet?

Although I haven't started the violin yet either - any advice on that?

Thanks in Advance!!

Yes, that's exactly how I would do it. Use work paths to shape the lines, and stroke the path. Using a fully hard round brush keeps the corners under control. The big advantage of using the Pen tool is it is so easy to edit the shape of your stick person, and stroke it again.

I do like to use Real Life as a guide, and don't forget we have Generative Fill now to create our templates. The young lad below came via Google and not Firefly, so there is nothing artificial about 'his' intelligence.
