25+ beautiful examples of hand drawn elements in web design
With the advent of new paradigms in graphic and web designing in the recent times, designers have realised that if the websites(blogs) have to stand out among others, then something unique and creative must be imbibed to them to make sure they don’t expose the banality underneath. The best way to do this is to decorate your website with brilliant hand drawn illustrations. Illustrations are a nice way to give to your site a less formal style and a more authentic look. With hand drawings, the style gets even less formal and also it gives to the site a super unique feel, allowing the designer to show off his/her skills.
This type of element can be used for small details or even for the whole site layout. One thing is for certain, hand drawings will make your site looks more friendly and creative, however it’s very important to find the balance and make sure that they fit with the theme and subject of your site. Make sure you do not overdo it, and ruin the contemporary website style.
In this post I will show you some beautiful hand drawn websites. They push the style close to the perfection. If you look deep enough, you will notice a distinct style; whether it is the attention to detail or it is the relevance to the content, it sure it very illustrative.

Nice roundup. I would have to say however that while these examples are beautiful, they don’t all look hand-drawn, for instance, Web Designer Depot. :)
Anyway, still a good round-up.
