Daredevil (2015-18)Created by Drew GoddardI had asked for suggestions on people to draw for @dailymoviesketch, this one comes from Shrusti @shrusti_mohanty @mohanty.shrusti.She suggested Elektra from Marvel's Daredevil Season 2. I thought it was a nice suggestion! I love the show, and was sad that Netflix has cancelled it (especially following a stellar third season). Anyway, it's business decisions I guess, since Disney is coming up with their own network and hence would want these properties to move away from Netflix.About Elektra herself, I've said this before, I somehow felt the show dragged during the scenes with her and Daredevil. Especially when there was such a compelling character in Frank Castle / The Punisher, the Elektra and The Hand storyline paled in comparison.I drew Elodie Yung as Elektra, this sketch was done with Bic black and Reynolds red ballpoint pen on Brustro A6 sketchbook and scanned.#daredevil #elektra #elodieyung #marvel #netflix#DAILYMOVIESKETCH #ballpointpen#ballpoint #pen #ink #biro #dibujo#397 / 30-Nov-18

Pulp Fiction (1995)Directed by Quentin TarantinoSo there's Papa Tomato, Momma Tomato and Baby Tomato walking along the street. Baby Tomato starts lagging behind, and Papa Tomato starts getting really angry. So, he turns around and squishes Baby Tomato and says, 'Ketchup.' I had a poll here yesterday asking for suggestions on female characters to draw. @shyam792 suggested Uma Thurman from Pulp Fiction and I thought that was a great suggestion (the very first #DailyMovieSketch drawing was of Uma Thurman from this movie, as it's one of my all time favourite movies). Here's Uma as Mia Wallace from the scene where she tells Vincent Vega her Fox Force Five joke.The drawing was done with Bic black and Reynolds red ballpoint pen on Brustro A6 sketchbook and scanned.#pulpfiction #umathurman #miawallace #foxforcefive #puns #ketchup #ballpointpen#396 / 30-Nov-18

A Serbian Film (Srpski Film) (2010)Directed by Srđan SpasojevićThis is one of those notorious movies you'll see on lists of disturbing or difficult to watch films. Because of its content it was banned in several countries or only released in a cut version.The movie is about Milos (Srđan Todorović), a retired porn star who is now struggling to make ends meet and provide for his wife and son. He is contacted by a mysterious filmmaker named Vukmir (Sergej Trifunović), who is willing to pay him a huge sum of money to participate in a film that he is making for very specialised clients. Milos reluctantly accepts, and soon finds himself part of increasingly disturbing and sinister situations.The filmmakers here seem to be trying to top themselves with each scene in disturbing the audience, and I think they succeed. I would suggest not looking at this movie as a commentary on the pornography industry or anything more profound, just watch it as a taut thriller, and you will appreciate it more. It's certainly well made and quite creepy, though at times you will feel guilty about what you are watching. And if you're sensitive in the slightest bit about watching sexual violence on screen, this movie is not for you. The performances are good, and I especially liked the music which adds to the creep factor.I'd actually watched the movie a few years before and now it was mentioned in some article I was reading, so I re-watched it (you can find it online). I drew Vukmir from the movie, the drawing was done with an Artline 0.1mm pen, Pigma Micron 0.8mm pen, white gel pen on Brustro A6 sketchbook and scanned.#DAILYMOVIESKETCH #aserbianfilm #srpskifilm #pen #ink#395 / 28-Nov-18

The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018)Directed by Fede AlvarezI was looking forward to this movie after watching the slick trailer, and got to see it yesterday. The film is a follow up to David Fincher's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", itself an adaptation of the first book in Steig Larsson's Millennium Trilogy. Apparently the studio wanted to reboot the series so this is based on David Lagercrantz's book and has a new director and cast. The story has Lisbeth (Claire Foy) being contacted to steal a piece of software that will allow one to have access to any nuclear weapon across the world. She goes through with it but is attacked only to have it stolen from her by a mysterious syndicate, and she has to get it back.The movie is different from Fincher's take, much more accessible and toned down. With four seconds cut, a couple of bits blurred and few swear words muted, it has a U/A rating in India (a PG-13 equivalent). Lisbeth and the tech the way it's portrayed here seem to have superpowers and some parts require you to stretch belief. Also, the plot is quite forgettable I thought, a standard people after a MacGuffin type story.That's not to say it's not entertaining, however — it's a real credit to director Fede Alvarez who keeps everything moving, and engages your interest. He also managed to achieve a very polished look to the movie on less than half the budget of the original (I checked Wikipedia). Claire Foy also is great as Lisbeth Salander. I loved the cinematography and music too. Overall, would recommend.There's a lot of Sony product placement in the movie, Lisbeth has shifted from Apple to Android and Sony gear here. This is a quick sketch of Claire Foy as Lisbeth Salander, it was done with an Artline 0.1mm pen and a red gel pen, on Brustro A6 sketchbook and scanned.#thegirlinthespidersweb #dragontattoo#lisbethsalander #clairefoy#DAILYMOVIESKETCH#394 / 26-Nov-18

Taxiwaala (2018)Directed by Rahul SankrityanSaw two movies this weekend, this one at Prasad's Screen 4 (the one with Dolby Atmos) and "The Girl in the Spider's Web" at INOX GVK One. Did sketches of both — will post the other one here too, today. "Taxiwaala" stars Vijay Deverakonda as Shiva, a man who after trying out different jobs decides to become a cab driver. Helped by his friends Babai and Hollywood, he buys a vintage car and restores it, and for a time all seems to be going well in his new job, but soon, some mysterious things start happening around this car, and he suspects it may be haunted.The best thing I can say about this movie is that it's very easy to watch — entertaining and fun, a nice blend of comedy and horror. The 2.5 hour runtime went by quickly. The filmmakers have tried to create a stylish character in the Taxiwaala — with the jacket and glove (I can just imagine this being a character out of a 1970s or 1980s cult Hollywood B movie — the "Driver"), which Vijay pulls off really well. I loved the music by Jakes Bejoy too. There are some aggressive guitar bits, some John Carpenter-esque synth cues in the score, and the songs are good too. The movie has a slick, polished look, with nice cinematography and lighting (by Sujith Sarang) — loved the set design emphasizing neon tones. The opening titles are also nicely done.A criticism that I had, was that the explanation of the haunting could have been cut down, I think it didn't need to be dealt with in detail. The female lead also didn't have much to do at all, and didn't make any difference to the plot. Some of the comedy scenes and even the scares felt kind of predictable and routine. Nevertheless, I had a good time watching the movie and would recommend it.I drew Vijay Deverakonda from the movie, the drawing was done with 0.5mm 2B mechanical pencil on a small sketchbook and scanned.#DailyMovieSketch #Taxiwaala #Taxiwala #VijayDeverakonda #pencilart#393 / 25-Nov-18

Flatlay picture after yesterday's Charcoal Drawing Workshop. Yes the lighting in this cafe created these harsh shadows but I think this is a nice photo anyway. My Deadpool sketch in Brustro book can be seen, and @tiny.sharma10's sketch in the exact same type of book, and @thedormantartist's work. @vineelreddy took us to this place and all our hands are seen. #vsco #google #pixel2xl #teampixel #DAILYMOVIESKETCH #flatlay #chai #chroniclesofchai #chaiisafeeling #chaivibesonly #iranichai #bolochai #handsinframe

Once Upon a Deadpool (2018)Directed by David LeitchA few days ago, the trailer for "Once Upon a Deadpool" was released. This is a PG-13 version of "Deadpool 2" which is being released in theatres in the US at around Christmas time (I don't know where all they will release it, and whether it'll be released in India or not). This version contains some new footage especially shot for it, as can be seen in the trailer featuring Fred Savage (Kevin from "The Wonder Years"). It'll be nice if I could get to see this version, I loved "Deadpool 2" and it'll definitely be on my list of Best Movies of 2018.This sketch was done with my 0.5mm 2B pencil on a new A6 Brustro sketchbook (first page!) and scanned. The colour was added in Photoshop.You can see a photo with the actual sketch on @karthikabhiram.#deadpool #deadpool2 #onceuponadeadpool#DAILYMOVIESKETCH#392 / 22-Nov-18

Early this morning there was the news of Marvel Comics' Chairman Stan Lee's passing at the age of 95. Ever since I was a kid, I've heard his name and though I read more DC comics as a child than Marvel ones, his name unmistakably left an impression (it sounds like a superhero name right?). It was always a joy to spot him in his brief appearances in Marvel movies (MCU or otherwise), and regardless of the quality of the film he always brought that touch of dignity to it. I've shared some Instagram posts on my stories on @karthikabhiram, from artists and celebrities who worked with Stan Lee or have been inspired by him. It's very inspiring to see, and teaches us that one should live their life in such a way as to be remembered like this.This is my @dailymoviesketch drawing of Stan Lee (from March 2017), I posted this along with another photo on my @karthikabhiram account. What I wrote above, is also from that post..#vsco #google #pixel2xl #teampixel #DAILYMOVIESKETCH .#stanlee #ripstanlee #handsinframe.#pmgridchallenge for the autumn colours

The Haunting of Hill House (2018)Created by Mike FlanaganI'm on Episode 6 of this show now, and enjoying it greatly. It's very well done. The only thing is, it's really scary so I have to stop watching it in spurts and switch to a, say, @petermckinnon or @mkbhd video on YouTube, so that I don't get too involved in it!The scares in the show are totally earned and don't come across as cheap at all — and since you care about the characters, it makes it much more effective. The acting and writing is all top notch, and so is the direction and technical proficiency on display. A lot of the scenes are filmed with smooth Steadicam / gimbal type camera moves, and they build suspense and tension very well.Particularly in this episode, there is a long stretch done in what appears to be a single take. It's not, obviously since the sets and the actors change, but it's pulled off so well that it appears seamless, with the aforementioned smooth camera moves guiding the viewer through it all and making one wonder how they executed it.Story wise, there is a lot of mystery that's set up and the non linear way in which information is revealed keeps you constantly engaged. I'm looking forward to finishing it. I suppose at this point (just past halfway), things will start getting even more interesting as they'll begin to wrap up the story threads. Once I complete it, will post my final thoughts. But this is a very highly recommended show from what I have seen so far.I drew Carla Gugino as Olivia from the show. The drawing was done with 0.5 mm 2B mechanical pencil on paper and scanned.#thehauntingofhillhouse #netflix #mikeflanagan #carlagugino #DailyMovieSketch #pencilart #pencil#391 / 13-Nov-18
