Realistic as in it really looks like a stick figure? Or one that looks like an actual person?





If you want it to look like a genuine stick figure, throw all your artistic abilities out the window (that's what I do) and draw like you did when you were three.





If you want to use a stick figure as a base of a realistic drawing, imagine the person has wire through each limb and draw it (remember to draw it in perspective as this is the base of your final picture). Then, using it as the central guide (for round shapes etc.) draw in the basic shapes of the person. Then attach all these shapes by drawing gentle curved lines where there are gaps between the shapes.





Good luck!
A stick man is a stick man. It's not that hard. And stick men never look realistic.





Just read the webcomic XKCD. If you can't draw like that then you fail.
