Lines that wobble
Every border, icon and doodle looks like it came from the same marker. A little shaky, totally on purpose.
psst. this whole page is drawn in it
Make your site look like a real person drew it.
Wobbly lines, paper cutouts, bits of tape and big handwritten headlines. It's the feel of a sketchbook, turned into a website people actually want to scroll. And under all the doodles, everything is still tidy and easy to read.
loved by zine makers, illustrators, teachers and tiny shops
What it is
So what is hand drawn design?
It's a style where everything on the page looks drawn, cut out and stuck down by hand. Lines wobble a little. Boxes sit a bit crooked. Colors are flat and bright, like construction paper. The result feels warm and human, like there's a real person on the other side of the screen.
same pen for everything. that's the whole trick.
Paper you can almost touch
Tape, torn edges and chunky flat shadows make the screen feel like cutouts spread across a desk.
Handwriting in the right spots
Big hand-lettered headlines up top. Calm, easy text underneath. Nobody has to squint to read your page.

Try it
Every piece has its moods
Buttons, switches and boxes all know how to look ready, picked, pressed, asleep or a little upset. That's where this style really shines. Go ahead, poke them.

Who it's for
Made for anything with a heart
Great for
- Portfolios and personal brands
- Creative studios and small indie products
- Journals, schools and anything for kids
- Landing pages that need to stand out from all the lookalikes
- Events, communities and tools for creators
Maybe skip it if...
- You need to feel corporate or super high-tech
- Your site is mostly giant tables of numbers
- Your crowd wants sleek and shiny above all else
(there's a calmer setting for dashboards, though)
Flavors
Three ways to draw it
Same hand, different mood. Pick the one that sounds like you.
Sketchbook Collage
Warm and crafty. Cream paper, tape everywhere, torn edges and little ink drawings.
Cut-Paper Pop
Bright and bouncy, like a toy box. Candy colors, chunky shapes and stripy shadows.
Ink Doodle
Mostly pen on paper, plus one bright marker. Witty, simple and full of scribbled notes.
The first person who saw my new site asked who I hired to draw it. Nobody. It was just me and this style.a very happy illustrator
Grab a pen. Make your site look like you.
