The illustration allows the reader, upon seeing head, body, legs, and arms, to identify that they are seeing a representation of a person who is inevitably reporting on a state: running, jumping, resting, talking, lying,... The viewer doesn't need that shape to be perfect. The information needed to conclude that you are facing a person is little. In fact, the imperfect representation of a person opens the door to the communication of abstract sensations that contribute to creating beauty, movement, or hardness. It is the deformation of the figure that opens a first key to play with emotions.

The less detail in the figure, the more identifiable the reader may be. If we give the figure a specific and well-defined appearance, the reader of the image will separate from the figure and identify it as a specific character doing an action. You will not identify yourself with the figure.
