Hand-drawn design therefore is a perfect contrast to the Web 2.0 design. So, if you’re tired of the Web 2.0 style and want to try the hand drawn style, here’s a list of hand-drawn icon packs that you can use for free.You may also use these icons to complement your other hand drawn elements in your design to project a more organic feel or to add a human touch to whatever you are working on.
