Hey dudes, there might be some mistakes in the following text, plx ignore them ;D
How ive read there are 2 ways to create a stick figure:
1.With the brush tool
2.With the line tool
With the bursh-tool-animation I redraw the stick every single frame, right?
So i dont need a layer for each part of the body.
But how is it with the line tool?
I watched some tutorials but i didnt understand it.
I need for every part a layer do I?
can anyone make a short explanation for me ?
In love, undeather

When you use the line tool, you draw your stick figure once, then use the selection tool (press V) to move those lines around each frame. if your lines cross over each other, you will need to re-draw them because they can become distorted this way.
the other option is to make each joint in to a group (example: select the forearm and press [Ctrl] + [G], deselect, then select the upper arm and press [Ctrl] + [G], select the torso, etc...), and then use the free transform tool (press Q) to move and rotate the joints around, while avoiding stretching them. This way you can move them around each frame, while maintaining their size and shape.
