This awesome little Sketch Library lets you mix and match components like clothes, hair, accessories, colors and even emotions to create a personalised (and super cute) avatar. Pablo’s taken advantage of Sketch’s nested overrides to allow for easy customisation so it’s really easy to create your own Avataaar right now. Download the whole Library [here](. In case you were wondering, we did the math, and this Library allows you to come up with about 70,614,415,872,000 different Avataaar variations... and there’s even more to come! 😵 [avataaars.com]( [How to Use the Pen Tool in Sketch - Master in 3 Easy Steps]( [How to Use the Pen Tool in Sketch - Master in 3 Easy Steps]( This detailed guide by Chima Okehie, of [designcrispy.com]( teaches you everything you need to know to master the Pen Tool in Sketch 🖋️.

[designcrispy.com]( [Gif.me Plugin]( [Gif.me Plugin]( This plugin has been totally blowing our minds at Sketch! 💥It was one of the winning plugins at at the recent Design Tools Berlin hackathon (keep reading the newsletter for more!) and we can see why. The Gif.me plugin allows you to add gifs and videos to Sketch files and play them while you work on your designs. Kind of nuts, really. We thought they explained the plugin best in their own words: “Have you ever been working in Sketch and thought ‘this page could definitely use more cat gifs?’” 🐱 Bonus points for having an absolutely awesome website too! [sketchgif.me]( [Apple Device Templates for Sketch]( [Apple Device Templates for Sketch]( We’ve featured Robbie Pearce’s Apple device templates in the past but we wanted to let you know that these absolutely gorgeous templates have been updated to include the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and, of course, the iPhone X.
