Graphite Critters

Just sharing some of my drawings ^^

[isalealart]

Hello there!! :D

My name is Isaleal. I’m an Brazilian artist who loves to draw animals, creatures, dragons and make occasional fan arts of my favorite games. 

I make most of my art in the Infinite Painter app with custom brushes that I made :)

You can find most of my work at my Instagram and Cara | Portfolio. I also have a few timelapses in my Youtube Channel.

Some of my work :)

[isalealart]

A few sketches testing out different ways to draw Hornet :D

The first thing I wanted to do was to keep her overall silhouette the same, but change her clothing so she wouldn't need to raise her entire "dress" to move her arms and fight lol.

So I gave her a cape. This way, her arms can stay mostly hidden, appearing to be coming from beneath her "dress", but I think it's a little more functional for her :)

I also gave her a necklace with Hallownest dreamers, cuz I thought it would look neat, specially in the first game when she is the princess protector and try stop you at first (keeping her father's plan in motion). But maybe she only wears her mother's mask later on.

I wanted to give some details or carvings to her mask inspired by the Hunter's crest. But that's still something that I'm working on lol. I even tried making something combining the hunter's crest and the masks you collect in the game. I also gave her small chelicerae, but they would mostly be hidden behind her collar? The part of her clothing that covers her neck XD. English isn't my first language lol

I also made her a little fluffy, cuz I saw some people drawing her like that, and I LOVED it XD

I also tried making a few versions of her clothless, testing out how much spidery she would look like. But tbh, I didn't like any of them and ended up discarting the idea for now lol.

A few more enemies from the Silksong :) I was thinking about maybe sketching most of the creatures of the game, but well... this was back in December, and only drew these guys and the ones I posted a few days ago XD But I did make a bunch os sketches of Hornet that I'll be posting next lol.

[isalealart]

A few sketches of the beastlings. Idk why, but I was struggling quite a bit to sketch them right XD

[isalealart]

I decided to draw some of the enemies from Moss Grotto ^^ (plus massive mossgrub, just cuz they are mossy too XD)

[isalealart]

Quite happy with how this drawing turned out :)

[isalealart]

Just added some color to these sketches, I might keep working on the later ^^

[isalealart]

A few sketches I made the other day, later I want to color them ^^

I've finally 100% Silksong and got the true ending!! :D

Omg, I really loved the game!! It was amazing!! And I'm already planning to make another run. Especially cuz I finally got more free time right now :3

What crest did you guys use?

Idk why, but I tend to stick with only one "type of weapon/ attack" in games. And for Silksong, I just used the Hunter's crest from beginning to end XD

I only switched it for maybe 2 bosses and the flea challenges. And man, when I discovered that you could UPGRADE IT!!! Omg, why I took so long!! I just kept collecting memory lockets and not using them, cuz I wasn't using the other crests lol.

Later I want to try other crests too. I also liked the architect and shaman crests, plus I'm curious about the witch and beast crests.

Hornet and the Bell Beast :)

I painted this to use as a wallpaper on my phone ^^

Download in my Ko-fi!! I'm really enjoying the game (even thought it keeps breaking my heart in act 3 lol), and I just loved this little guy from the start. They are so cute and they have been such a great companion in my journey through Pharloom!!

I painted this just before getting to act 3, and a friend of mine (who already 100% the game) commented that there was something missing in it. Finally discovered what it is, and it's such a nice surprise :33

I'm still in the beginning of act 3 as far as I know, so please, no spoilers XD

Crittertober day 5: Scissor

My favorite critter so far :3

I used the scissor prompt mainly to design the head. At first I was thinking about making some kind of bird, but then I changed it midway to a dragon, with the idea in mind to use the scissor handles as a inspiration for the horns. After a few sketches, I ended up really liking this guy's head and made a body for him :)

I ended up liking him so much that I kept working in this drawing a lot longer than I planned to lol. Later I might make a little scenery for him too, who knows.

Idk, I just really like drawing dragons lol

[isalealart]

Crittertober day 4: Mask

This one was kinda straightforward. I made a simple mask, as I had just made a detailed skull mask for my previous creature, and then added a little body lol.

I think it ended up been more of a warm-up for the next one, which I really took my time to make, and is my absolute favorite for now ^^

[isalealart]

Crittertober day 1: Fluffy

My first little critter for Crittertober :)

It was kinda fun to make this little guy. What I had in mind was completely different lol. Something more insect like, inspired by silk moths. But then it just changed as soon as I started sketching, and here we are.

I think my first poses for this little guy were a lot better, more expressive and curious looking. But I guess I got lost trying to think about its anatomy and ended up if a more stiff pose. I don't dislike this pose either, it just conveys a completely different character than the previous ones :)

[isalealart]

I'm pretty late to this XD, but I made a prompt list to draw in this October!!

I was doing this mostly for myself, as I've been kinda lost on what to draw lately, but then I decided to share this list :) . I haven't drawn a single thing yet, so feel free to tag along if you feel like it lol

The challenge:

You have to draw a new critter everyday inspired by the word in the list! It can be any type of creature: original, imaginary, mythical, fantastical, from a movie or game you like, etc. It can also be an animal with some magical attributes to it :)

The main objective is to have fun and sketch everyday!!

Some Hollow Knight fanart ^^

I'm playing Silksong, and I'm loving it!! I can't believe that it's finally here, I've been waiting since 2019 lol.

Later I also want to play Hollow Knight again. The last thing I did was finally finishing the Pantheon, and man, it was so frustratingly difficult that I never touched the game again. And this was in 2021 according to Steam XD

Little fox I made on Infinite Painter :)
