CSS drawing is an art of designing a creative object or drawing with only using CSS codes. It is a fun challenge that shows us what front-end developers can achieve with pure CSS.
Sometime, a css drawing is also added with some animation to make it more interesting.
When I first saw CSS drawings, I didn't believe that CSS can be used to create such drawings. I thought it was designed by some design apps like Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw until I saw the codes that it was a pure CSS.
Most of the styles in the drawing use the combination of gradients, pseudo-classes (:after and :before), and css3 animations.
Recently, i saw in Twitter #100DaysOfCode that many developers are showcasing their CSS drawings. There were doing amazing work, but i saw that some of them have lack design inspirations.
Since I am a front-end developer as well, I can understand that sometimes we don't have any idea of what we should make, especially when it is about design or drawing.
I remember that I ever saw many awesome CSS drawings showcased in Codepen. Then, I come to the idea that picking and collecting the best of them will be helpful to provide some inspirations for other developers, especially newbies.
So, in this post, I make a list of the best CSS drawings that you can use as your inspirations. Let's have a look!
