Open Doodles

What Open Doodles is

Open Doodles is a web-based set of illustrations, compositions, and animated GIFs for designers and other creators. Its illustrations are available under CC0, and the site says they can be used for personal or commercial purposes without credit or a separate license. The free Open Doodles plan is priced at $0. Illustration downloads include SVG and PNG files, with GIF links for some illustrations; compositions are available as SVG and PNG. A linked generator offers Theme and Create sections, ink and accent color inputs, a background input, and a Download Pack option. The illustrations page also links to Blush for editing, while individual assets and source files can be downloaded on Dropbox. Open Doodles credits Pablo Stanley. The site describes the collection as a way to demonstrate illustration in mockups, including as placeholders before hiring an illustrator. Its creation process involved sketching on an iPad in Procreate, vectorizing in Illustrator, organizing in Sketch, and exporting as SVG and PNG.

Who it suits

Open Doodles suits designers who want illustrations for mockups, including placeholders before hiring an illustrator. It also suits people seeking assets they can adapt and use in personal or commercial work under CC0.

Verdict
