The Sketchy Icon Library.

Original hand-drawn-style icons, built for whiteboard explainers. Every one is drawn from scratch, no traced or copied third-party set, and every one can draw itself on. 561 shipped so far, on the way to 10,000. MIT licensed and free for any use.

Why they are different

Built to draw themselves on.

Every icon is two stacked layers. A black outline strokes on first, one continuous path a pen could trace, then each color region washes in one at a time. That is the whole point: these are not static glyphs, they are drawable. Feed one to any timeline that can animate a stroke and it comes alive the way a whiteboard explainer should.

The library is the visual vocabulary behind every Sketchie video, and it is the same set you can pull into your own work. No attribution required, no license fee, safe for commercial use.

The plan

561 today. 10,000 drawn icons is the target.

A 10,049-concept taxonomy is the master list the library fills over scheduled batches. Every icon passes a contract validator before it ships, so the whole set animates the same way. Watch it grow in the repo.
