step 1 of 16

Extract the stick figures from original source by using magic wand (as they are solid colour) and duplicate them. By duplicating, I will retain the original source in case something goes wrong and I need to revert to my original source. As the figures are white colour, having black layer for the background will enable me to see the figure clearly
