Most web designs starts off with a pen and paper before its taken over by Photoshop. However, we’ve noticed a new trend (probably not too new) where designers are bringing back sketches as a form of design. Without a doubt, hand-drawn art is one of the popular styles adopted into web designs. Nothing is better than using these sketchy designs to convey and reflect individual styles.
In this post, we’d like to show you 50 great examples of how hand drawing and web design can fit beautifully together. Full list after jump.

Hand-drawn design looks very cool. I think that most important thing in such project is to not overdo with the number of details.Too many elements can distract potential user.
