Advice on making an animated flipbook (discuss.tchncs.de)

I want to make a flipbook to animate a stick-man as a gift. I want it to be a hardcopy (not online) but I am okay with making it online and printing it. An online tool may even be preferable since I don't have drawing skills or any drawing material, this is gonna be a first for me. Do you have any advice on which kind of pen and paper, or software I can use?

For the physical version the only thing I’d recommend is making sure all your pieces of paper are the same size. Thinner paper (100gsm or less) will be easier to flip but the thinner you go the worse the drawing surface.

Digital-wise you could give https://flipanim.com/ a go. It’s pretty easy to use and emulates the physical construction of a hand made flip book nicely.

In order to save what I did in flipanim I must have an account. I tried to register but it asks for an invitation code. I googled it a bit, according to some user comments in flipanim I believe they closed new account registration at the moment.
