Stickman is a 2D animation tool that is supposed to make animated cartoon creation much easier. And I say supposed because I’ve faced great difficulties when testing this program.

The upside to Stickman is that it includes a vast catalog of ready-to-use backgrounds, figures and all kinds of elements. Being an online database, we strongly recommend that you download it to your hard drive so that it’s always available for you.

But in spite of that, I personally didn’t find the program that easy to use. There was no default scene included to begin working with and I couldn’t even put a single character onto a background scene. Luckily enough, Stickman includes video tutorials and very complete documentation, so after struggling with the program for a while, I was able to produce something. My advice then would be to be patient and read the documentation carefully if you want to take advantage of Stickman’s possibilities.
