Stick Figure Sad PNG & SVG

A sad stick figure drops the shoulders and lets one tear fall. Use it when a plan fails, in the comic panel after the loss, or on a post that needs sympathy instead of a punchline.

All 144 figures below share one pencil style: 143 characters (teacher, student, cat, grandpa…) feeling sad, plus the classic slumped figure. Open any of them for a PNG or an SVG, or place it in the comic maker. Full tears on both cheeks live on the crying pose of each character.

Questions people ask

Can I get a sad stick figure PNG with a transparent background?

Yes. Open any figure, untick “White background” and press Download PNG. The sob versions above are already transparent.

Can I use one when the news is bad?

Yes. Every figure is free for personal and commercial use: memes, slides, videos, books, apps and ads. Credit is welcome but not required.

How is sad different from crying?

Sad is a slump and a single tear. Crying lifts both hands and puts a tear on each cheek. Angry is fists on the hips. Each is its own pose.

Should I download PNG or SVG?

PNG works everywhere: Google Slides, PowerPoint, Canva, chat apps. SVG stays sharp at any size and opens in Figma or Illustrator if you want to edit the lines.
