Grain Character Avatars
50 illustrations elements
50 playful character avatars from the Grain collection, each drawn with bold outlines and halftone shading. Features diverse faces, hairstyles, and expressions designed for profile icons, team pages, and user dashboards. Ships in Illustrator AI, SVG, and PNG formats.
Generic circle-crop photos and bland default avatars do nothing for your interface. This set of 50 hand-drawn character avatars from the Grain collection gives your users, team pages, and dashboards actual personality. Each avatar is drawn with the signature Grain style: bold outlines, halftone dot shading, and intentional imperfections that make every face feel unique and human.
Designed for Real Product Use
These are not just decorative illustrations. They are sized and composed specifically to work as profile icons, team member avatars, user dashboard placeholders, and contact list thumbnails. The circular composition and balanced visual weight mean they look sharp at 32px sidebar icons and 200px profile headers alike.

Where You Will Use These
Notion workspace profile icons. SaaS platform default avatars. Team "About Us" pages. Testimonial sections on landing pages. User onboarding where you let people pick a character. Internal company tools where employees need a placeholder that is better than their initials in a gray circle.
The beauty of a hand-drawn avatar set is that it removes the pressure of professional headshots while still keeping your interface visually cohesive and warm.
