@aninchaugust × @karthikabhiram Roundup — Since 2018, I have been participating in this Art Challenge initiated by @tiny.sharma10 and @meghalika, where the idea is to create artworks within the space of an inch. I have always enjoyed it and my excitement for it is the same as it is for @inktober. This year, I've done 26 artworks (I think it's more than any previous year). Had a great time attending the #aninchaugust event on Sunday as well. Keep swiping on this post to see the works done this year and other related highlights. #aninchaugust #aninchaugust2022 #karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #pencilartwork #ballpointpen (at Hyderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch7a3H9rYcK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Latest sketches for @aninchaugust — I have done 25 sketches so far, for this year's #aninchaugust challenge. I had earlier posted a collage of the first 16 drawings, here are the remaining 9. I am planning to do one more sketch and that post will round up the challenge for this year. The ones featured here are movie related sketches and other ones. • @arunvijayno1 as Rudra from the web series "Tamil Rockerz" which was quite entertaining and an interesting take on movie piracy in an action thriller mold • There was a bonus 11th episode of the show "The Sandman" released recently which contained two stories, this is a sketch of a crow from "Dream of a 1000 Cats", the character being voiced by Neil Gaiman • Gulab Jamun for the prompt 'delicious' suggested by @vamshibhasham • A shot from "Nope", a movie which I really enjoyed • Abhradeep Saha a.k.a. @angryrantman whose movie review videos I like, he has a unique presentation style and makes good points • Live drawing during 28-Aug's event, using the same reference as @quaintessential_, for the prompt 'reflections' suggested by @reshma_heartworks • The two maneating lions from the movie "The Ghost and the Darkness" which I rewatched after many years • @officialslystallone from the movie "Samaritan" which was quite good!

Karthikeya 2 (2022) Directed by Chandoo Mondeti It's hard to believe the first "Karthikeya" movie was released all the way back in 2014 and @avinashseye and myself had watched it in the theatre then. I don't remember the details of the movie now, should rewatch it, but I liked it (with the heroic lead character being named Karthik, how could I not). The sequel has the character Karthik going to Dwaraka and several other places in India in pursuit of an artifact belonging to Lord Krishna. I felt the movie was a bit overlong and a bit heavy handed in the way it approached the spiritual elments, but I enjoyed it overall. As per Wikipedia the budget was just ₹15-30 cr, and it's surprising what they achieved, the movie has an epic scope with great visuals (cinematographer Karthik Gattamneni) and looks much more expensive. This reminded me of two things — an Indiana Jones adventure and a Tintin book. Imagine these two titles — "Indiana Jones and the Lost Treasure of Krishna", or "Tintin and the Lost Artifacts". I drew Anupama Parameswaran as Mugdha from the movie, this is done with 0.5 mm 4B mechanical pencil on A5 Brustro sketchbook. You can swipe to see a scan. This is the 16th drawing for @aninchaugust #aninchaugust #aninchaugust2022 and I've included a collage with the drawings done so far this year. @anupamaparameswaran96 @chandoo.mondeti #karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #pencilart #pencildrawing #miniatureart #miniaturedrawing #sketch #karthikeya #anupamaparameswaran #687 / 19-Aug-22 (at Hyderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChbRsBoLyWD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Entry for the @aninchaugust #aninchaugust #aninchaugust2022 Weekend Prompt "Vivid" suggested by @aestheticpraani — this is a one inch square ballpoint pen drawing of a painting by Bill Sienkiewicz based on the fantasy character Death Dealer by artist Frank Frazetta. Both are legendary artists and their works can be seen on @frazettagirls and @billsienkiewiczart. Since the sketches I have done for the challenge so far have mostly been pencil black and white ones I thought I'd do something in colour for this prompt and I liked this painting's use of colour. This is on A5 Brustro sketchbook.

The Boys (2019-) Developed by Eric Kripke Of late I have been seeing these memes featuring The Deep from the show "The Boys", so for @aninchaugust #aninchaugust #aninchaugust2022, I thought I would draw these frames myself and make a meme template. So, here it is! This was done with 0.5 mm 4B mechanical pencil on A5 Brustro sketchbook. You can swipe to see a scan, a meme and the blank template too. The show is brilliant, I love it for its dark humour, the extreme violence, blood and gore and adult content. It's also very well written, especially in Season 3, I felt each episode had surprises for us and you never knew where it was going. Actor Chace Crawford does really well as the character The Deep, I think it's not that easy playing this character as he is essentially an idiot. #karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #theboys #thedeep #deepthoughtswiththedeep #miniatureart #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #686 / 13-Aug-22 (at Secunderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChO7rZcrsRc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Weekend sketches for @aninchaugust #aninchaugust #aninchaugust2022 — I watched "Bullet Train" and "DC League of Super-Pets" on Thursday and Friday, so made sketches based on them. Also, @aninchaugust announced Weekend Prompts for sketches, and this weekend's was 'Monsoon' suggested by @rad_art_1, so I drew water droplets for it. And, I watched the show "The Sandman" over the weekend so drew that too. These were all done with 0.5 mm 4B mechanical pencil on A5 Brustro sketchbook. You can swipe to see scans and other related pictures. Bullet Train (2022) Directed by David Leitch I liked the movie, it was flashy, colourful and a lot of fun. The action scenes were very nicely done. The story elements are familiar, but it's engaging enough and the convoluted plot probably means that one would enjoy it better on second viewing. There were a lot of laughs and some creative kills and violence, which was much appreciated. #683 / 6-Aug-22 DC League of Super-Pets (2022) Directed by Jared Stern The movie was amusing and cute but I didn't find it as funny as say, "The Lego Batman Movie". The voice cast is interesting and the animation is good, but overall the movie wasn't remarkable for me. Also I think if one doesn't have a background of the characters, one would appreciate it even less. #684 / 6-Aug-22 The Sandman (2022) Developed by Neil Gaiman, David S Goyer, Allan Heinberg This 10 episode series is an adaptation of the comic written by Neil Gaiman. Out of the 75 issues of the comic I have read some 20 issues years ago. The series is a faithful adaptation while still being its own thing, the production values are amazing and it's very dark and engaging. The cinematography is interesting, it looks like they shot it with wide anamorphic lenses but the frames seem more squished vertically and have a softer look to them. I loved the show! #685 / 7-Aug-22 #karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #pencilart #miniatureart (at Hyderabad) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg_FA9LrtJj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
