Favourited. Really nice work and impressive landing page.<p>Would love to have an online tool for this also, as others have said.<p>The style of work really reminds me of undraw [1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;undraw.co" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;undraw.co</a>

Something&#x27;s fascinating to me. Clearly there&#x27;s a lot of diversity. But there also isn&#x27;t. I don&#x27;t associate with any of it. Not because I&#x27;m a green space monster. But where&#x27;s the potbellied, grizzled 55 year old welder? Or the &quot;I hate kale, more bacon please&quot; mother of three? Everyone looks so... Chic and young and modern and... Silicon Valley.<p>Is it the art style? Is that the point? Is that what the robotic &quot;HUMAAAAN&quot; is teasing? That these aren&#x27;t anything like real humans?

Nice! This came at just the right time for me too.<p>I find the general attitude in this comment section curious, though; lots of people are arguing about the skin tone choice which is notably brown. Yet I feel that if it were lighter in shade, there would be much less grumbling and criticism about not including every single possible body shape?

OT: The word &quot;Humaaans&quot; makes me think of the Ferengi from Star Trek.<p>E.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scifi.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;63716&#x2F;why-do-the-ferengi-pronounce-human-the-way-they-do" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scifi.stackexchange.com&#x2F;questions&#x2F;63716&#x2F;why-do-the-f...</a>

Interesting how I did not notice any issues with the library until I came to the comments and there were several mentions of implicit racism. There is some projection going on here.<p>Upon reviewing the site again, there are some lighter skin tones that I would identify with as a pale white man, if I really cared.

Is it possible to add beard to the drawings?<p>Is there an online version that is posible to use without installing the library in my machine?

This looks like the generic &quot;people&quot; artwork you see in so many places.

What would be an interesting side-project would be to apply some machine learning, so a user could describe the kind of person &#x2F; activity in a sentence and it would be generated using this.

This is a quick and easy way to add a humane touch to a landing page and other similar content with the added benefit of being free (CC Attribution 4.0).

This is awesome. Going to add it to a project that I was working on a new landing page for today.<p>For a bit of constructive criticism, the name makes the project really difficult to discover. I remembered having seen this on HN a couple of days ago, but when I went to look it up, I remembered it as &quot;Humans with a few extra A&#x27;s or U&#x27;s,&quot; and I had to Google five or six variations before I found it. One too few or one too many A&#x27;s will not bring up your project. I&#x27;m not sure if this is a lack of SEO, or a function of how Google treats misspelled words.<p>Other than that, looks like a beautifully designed library, and looking forward to putting it to work.

Nice little Daft Punk easter egg in the panel with the &quot;Nothing Found&quot; example page (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;genius.com&#x2F;Daft-punk-digital-love-lyrics" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;genius.com&#x2F;Daft-punk-digital-love-lyrics</a>), and the ending statement &quot;We are humaaan after all.&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Human_After_All" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Human_After_All</a>)

On a Windows PC, what (free, open source) drawing program would I use to create illustrations using these pieces?

I&#x27;m using this on my landing page. The illustrations are beautiful and the way Pablo Stanley organizes all the assets in Sketch is amazing. Also note, Humaaans is under CC 4.0

This is really neat! Reminds me of the style Airbnb, Stripe and Dropbox uses.

Looks like the artwork used on Google Fi website.

This is the new version of stock photos for lazy and conformist people. But instead of having some young attractive models smiling at the camera with a flipchart in their hands, now you get a fast-food-style illustration, devoid of soul and personality, identical to the other designs used by some other startup, that&#x27;s going to age like milk and will require a rebranding in two years. tl;dr — it&#x27;s a fad.

This is great, and I really, really love the inclusive-by-default approach.

where are the white humans? and the yellow humans? and the jet black humans?<p>I feel like the 1 skin tone is meant to be provocative, possibly be a deliberate troll, maybe start a discussion.<p>does the author wish to weigh in?<p>as a white human I feel excluded. maybe I&#x27;m attaching too much importance to skin tone as a part of identity. I think partly that&#x27;s in our brains, partly it&#x27;s emphasised by the media to divide us and create outrage, for power and engagement.
