Notes:

Two actions here

1. Attach drawing to object

Attach the drawing representing yourself to the right object (maybe a tin can or kitchen roll), using a rubber band or something. This is now your "character" in the scene.

2. Place character on stage

Place your character front and centre on the stage, facing in to the action, to approximate the real thing as much as possible.

Add element(s)

If you need to add an inanimate element or elements to the stage along with your character, then click that link after placing your character on the stage.
