My Stickmen look like a 5 year old (possibly younger) drew them

If you have seen any of my research it heavily involves crazy little stick figures or badly hand drawn stick figures or horses. Sadly after 3 years of PhD my ability to draw via a computer or by hand has not improved as demonstrated by some quality stick figures that when are aged will go into my current project.
Often it feels like maybe someone with some natural artistic ability should be working on the topic of Sketch based Retrieval. For now though I will have to do!
