Animating and creating stickfigures aren’t the same thing so your skill for one will not miraculously transfer over to the other.

You just need to practice and use references images off the internet.

In my opinion animating and Stickfigure creating are two different skill sets.

I say this out of experience.
I can make figures that look alright without any complications.
Animating on the other hand is something I just can’t do.

Same vice-versa.

It’s a matter of learning and getting a good feel on how to create figures.

I recommend downloading figures. Inspect them to learn some good techniques.

Keep in mind that i’m saying this out of experience. So what I just have said might not be true to everyone.
