In their own words
Open Doodles
Open Doodles is a free web collection of illustrations, compositions, and animated GIFs. The images are offered under CC0, and the site says they may be copied, edited, remixed, shared, or redrawn for any purpose. Commercial and personal use do not require credit or a separate license. Downloads include SVG and PNG files for illustrations and compositions, with GIF links for some illustrations. A generator provides Theme and Create sections, controls for ink, accent color, and background, plus a Download Pack option. The illustrations page links to Blush for editing, while individual assets and source files are available through Dropbox. Open Doodles credits Pablo Stanley. The project describes the artwork as useful for showing illustration in mockups, including placeholders before hiring an illustrator. The listed plan costs nothing. The artwork was sketched in Procreate, vectorized in Illustrator, organized in Sketch, and exported as SVG and PNG.
Openclipart
Openclipart is an online collection of more than 180,000 vector graphics, including clipart and icons. Its search function helps visitors find artwork, and clipart pages provide SVG downloads with instructions for Mac and Windows. Since the graphics are stored as SVG, they can be scaled, edited, or printed without deformation. Artists release uploads under the Creative Commons Zero 1.0 Public Domain License; the site says the artwork can be used for unlimited commercial purposes, including manufacturing products. Users may modify graphics and upload the results as remixes. Openclipart is free to use, and a free account is offered for donations. The Fabricatorz Foundation hosts and fiscally sponsors the project. Patrons receive ad removal when logged in, usage and copyright feedback, earlier feature access, priority email support, and vanity addresses. Developers can try the v2 API, which is in beta; its tutorial demonstrates authentication, app creation, and clipart search. Founded in 2004, the collection is available on the web, macOS, Windows, and through an API.
