Everyone was so kind in their comments about the first collection, I put together another one. I am creating these for myself anyway, so I thought I'd share them in case anyone was interested. They are all transparent png files. I have also drawn some "object" sketches in the same style (things as diverse as an island, paintbrush, pencil, light bulb, speech boxes, etc). If they would be useful to anyone, I can try to post them as well.
Wow, this is great! And so generous of you to share, thank you! Not sure yet what project I can use them on, but looking forward to finding theright opportunity.
I would definitely be intersted in the object sketches you've done, too...
Thanks for sharing these with everyone. Can I ask what program you used to create these....I am a veterinarian and I would love to attempt to draw some dog and cat figures and the style you have created would work perfect for an idea that I have....
@Heidi - My pleasure. I'm glad you find them useful.
@Bret - I kept it simple. I used 53's "Paper" for iPad. Drew them with my stylus then emailed them to myself through the Paper interface. You can insert the picture in PowerPoint; get rid of the off-white background by setting the color to transparent; then crop it to trim the edges. I have virtually no artistic talent whatsoever, but Paper makes my rough sketches tolerable.
There are two batches of the stick figures in case anyone is interested. I have some additional ones, but I didn't know whether anyone would find them to be of any use.
Greg - the files are just PNG files, so they should work in any image viewer. The collection, I believe. is in a standard "zip" file, so you just need a program (many are free) to unzip it and the files should appear in the opened folder.
These are fabulous! We've used a whiteboard template for a training course and are getting ready to do a chalkboard one. I cannot wait to try these out! Thanks!

Randy.. I am in love with your stick figures
Thanks Randy!
thanks for sharing
this is valuable !!
Thanks Randy,
Bravo! That's great!
I love the stick figures and use them when I need a friendly, non-didactic character to jump into a slide or scene and make a point for me.
These look cool. Can you zip in a Windows-based zip file?
These are such fun! Lighten things up a bit.
Thanks
Very cute and nice. Glad you shared and I hope to find good use for them soon.
Thanks Randy. Sorry to be slow, but what program can we use to open the files?

7_Zip is free. Works fine. You can find it here: http://download.cnet.com/7-Zip/3000-2250_4-10045185.html
If you use a Mac - as I do - you might try RAR Expander for Mac:
