Sharpie Empty State Icons

Expressive illustrations designed for UI states, errors, and status updates. Hand-drawn in a playful marker style, these icons bridge the gap between minimal line art and character rich storytelling

Sharpie Empty State Icons is a unique collection of 50 expressive illustrations crafted to visually communicate UI status messages, empty states, and edge-case scenarios. Drawn in the distinct Sharpie line-art style, this pack is perfect for modern websites, Notion dashboards, SaaS platforms, and app onboarding flows where emotion, clarity, and humor matter.

Instead of dull placeholders or stock icons, this set delivers character-driven visuals that help users understand what’s happening — whether they’re seeing a 404 page, a no-results message, or a disconnected app feature. The illustrations walk the line between icons and storytelling scenes, giving you the best of both worlds.

Hand-Drawn Sharpie Style for UI Feedback

Each icon uses bold, clean black outlines with clever use of negative space, designed to mimic a human marker-drawn feel. The style is minimal but packed with personality, making them visually engaging at small sizes while scaling beautifully for larger visuals like modals, error pages, or guide sections.

Sharpie icons are known for their balance between simplicity and expressive energy — these are not rigid line icons, but thoughtfully crafted characters and concepts that invite users to interact, retry, or explore.
