Open Doodles is a set of free illustrations that embraces the idea of Open Design. You can copy, edit, remix, share or redraw these images for any purpose without restriction under copyright or database law (CC0 license.)
I hope that this kind of resource makes it easier for designers to show the value of illustration in their mockups, or just add a bit of quirkiness to their products. Maybe this will encourage others to create their own kit and share it with the world.
Some of these doodles are direct scans of sketches I drew on my notebook during downtime or meetings. Somehow, doodling while on conference calls help me focus.
Why Open?
I believe in the idea of Open Design. That the knowledge behind our craft shouldn't be kept behind gates but rather freely accessible to the world. By teaching and sharing our skills and best practices, we improve the community and increase the value of design. Openly sharing our work invites people to collaborate, tinker, learn from each other, and grow together.
If you want to go beyond what this collection can do, I encourage you to hire an illustrator to help you tell your story in a better way. I list some resources on the about page: https://www.opendoodles.com/about
Go out and doodle!
@pablostanley thanks for sharing this ! I'm a big fan of your work, always surprising us with creative and unique resources ✌️ I'm curious about the licencing, would you consider it releasing under MIT or a similar license ? Also, sent you an inbox long time ago about one of your works, just in case! (Saludos desde Colombia, estuve en DF hace poco y lo amé)
@pablostanley kudos from the fellow illustrators that launched with you today. Pablo, personally I'm a big fan of yours. Love you released it for free; love your copy; love the collection of links. 🖤🖤🖤
@juanpablosarmi Hey, Juan! I just placed them under the CC0 license, in the public domain, so that others may freely build upon, enhance and reuse the works for any purposes without restriction under copyright or database law!
I added a note about that in the site too ;)
Congrats on the launch @pablostanley 🚀
This illustrations collection is absolutely incredible!
Also, love the "open" attitude of the collection. I saw your hour and a half live stream of how you made the example website using Webflow. And that's exactly what design community needs to share more to demystify the design process because after all, we are all designers in one way or another 🙂
@geek_1001 Yes! Thank you, Ahmed. That's exactly the idea. I see you embracing the same idea with Design Tools Weekly and your list of apps. Thanks, man.

What is your opinion on consumer blindness? Especially when differentiating similar products/brands or voice. With the rise of these reusable illustration styles, popularized by the deeply skilled illustrator Alice Lee (but very common for decades in print publications).
What was unique 5 years ago is now maybe too much of a good thing? Is this possible? I personally love OpenSource, thanks for sharing!
Mix and Match have been your style lately, It is helpful and makes design scratching really fast and easy! Thanks for all the Humaaans, Avataaars and this.

This was such a great newsletter in my inbox today on Open Doodle. I learned so much by following your tutorials and receiving input through your newsletters:)! And they are always fun, too. Thanks for this amazing resource - awesome!!
I love this trend in releasing open designs!
It's like the design community's version of how open source software works for the developer community.
Thanks!
