I found this article so inspirational! I love the creative aspects of incorporating hand-drawn elements into a website. Obviously good artistic hand-drawing skills are required to produce this style of design. I feel the drawing style is often considered for child friendly designs such as Our Wildlife Garden, Clever Craft, and Teresawalsh. However, as shown in this collection the sketched style can be adapted and used for a whole range of design styles for all sorts of websites. Some of my favourite being Bootb Creatividad, Zenzero, Racket, Candc Coffee and Kevadamson Design. Thanks for sharing.
