One of the most peculiar things about the WikiHow website isn’t really the how-tos but the actual illustrations. They’re colorful, but despite being relatable, they sometimes present a distorted view of reality. You wouldn’t assign their style of cartooning to any other site, which makes it uniquely their own. From a dog that weirdly possesses human features to a stick figure struggling to tie shoelaces, the artists know how to add humor to even the most mundane tasks.

Chris Haldey, WikiHow’s vice president of operations, confirmed this information. He shared that the company’s shift towards commissioning original art began in response to Google’s algorithm. Custom images reached a wider audience than recycled ones. The drawings still remain in secrecy, as the freelancers have to sign NDAs (non-disclosure agreements, aka confidentiality agreements). Haldey commented on this, saying that their idea was new and they needed to keep it special, so they asked people to keep it private. Over the years, maintaining the mystery has been part of the fun, which has gained a lot of traction.
