U Turn (2018)Directed by Pawan KumarI was really busy with Campus Recruitment when this movie was released in theatres, so missed it. Fortunately, it recently came out on Amazon Prime, so I could watch it.This is a Telugu remake of director Pawan Kumar's own Kannada movie "U Turn" (2016). That film is available on Netflix, and I'd seen it last year, and thought it was a very well made and interesting movie. So I was interested to watch the remake. Apparently this was shot in Tamil as well (I don't know if it's just a dubbed version or if there were scenes re shot for that version). The movie is about an intern journalist, Rachana (here played by Samantha Akkineni, and by Shraddha Srinath in the original), who is doing a story about a flyover where motorists move the divider blocks illegally and take a U Turn. When one of the people she intends to interview turns up dead, a police investigation ensues, and there appears to be a mysterious link between people taking this U Turn and a set of murders.It's an interesting blend of different genres and it's a well made movie. Recommended watching. It's interesting to watch this remake after watching the original since you know everything that happens. For me it was like watching the movie a second time. This is almost a scene for scene remake (Wikipedia says the last act is different but from what I remember of the original, it's exactly the same here too). The police station (and flyover) mentioned in the movie is quite close to where I stay, should probably go there once — maybe next time I visit Coffee Cup Sainikpuri!I drew Samantha as Rachana from the movie. I was thinking whether to use pencils for the drawing or not, ultimately decided to do it in the style of my #Inktober2018 drawings, with black Bic ballpoint pen and a red ballpoint pen. This is from a scene in the movie where Rachana wears a red top, so black and red suited this drawing. This is a scanned version. I'm not 100% happy with the way the drawing turned out, but anyway putting it up.#uturn #DailyMovieSketch #samanthaakkineni #samantharuthprabhu#390 / 11-Nov-18

A photo from the Open Studio event from a couple of weeks back, which I did not post till now. @tiny.sharma10 gave me a print of one of my favourite artworks of hers — this sketch of L from “Death Note”. Also in the frame is my first charcoal drawing (thanks to @the_onyxmethod for the materials), of Wilson Fisk from Daredevil. I had posted the scan of the drawing but it got messed up a bit after I sprayed fixative on it, I think it looks better in this photo. #vsco #google #pixel2xl #teampixel #DailyMovieSketch…#L #deathnote #marvel #daredevilseason3 #daredevil #handsinframe #charcoal #charcoalportrait #flatlay #fromwhereistand

The Haunting of Hill House (2018)Created by Mike FlanaganI started watching this show on Netflix after hearing a lot about it. People said it's scary and atmospheric so I thought I'd watch. Perhaps not the right thing to do now since I'm alone at home for now, but I couldn't resist. I just finished the first episode, and thought it was very well made. Of course, coming from Mike Flanagan (who made the scary "Oculus" a few years back, which I really enjoyed), it's expected. The production values are high, and the storyline seems interesting, about a family haunted by events that happened many years ago, at an old house.I won't say who this is a sketch of, just so that spoilers are avoided.This drawing was done with a charcoal pencil that was given to me by @the_onyxmethod at the Open Studio art meet-up some days back. It's actually quite fast to sketch with this, I should use this more!#thehauntingofhillhouse #netflix #charcoal #pencil #pencilart #charcoalportrait#DailyMovieSketch#389 / 11-Nov-18

Both the Daredevil drawings that I'd posted earlier are done on the same page. I scanned them and posted them separately. #google #pixel2xl #teampixel #snapseed #DAILYMOVIESKETCH #INKTOBER #INKTOBER2018 #daredevilseason3 #daredevil #ballpointpen

[#DailyMovieSketch × #Inktober]Marvel's Daredevil Season 3 (2018)Created by Drew GoddardI'm tagging this for #Inktober2018 though I actually completed it just now, because I started this sketch in October itself. It was along with the other Daredevil sketch I posted, on the theme "weak", for this is where Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is at his weakest.I already wrote about how much I enjoyed Season 3 of this show, it's really very good. This is a sketch of Matt, it was done with Bic black ballpoint pen and a red ballpoint pen on paper and scanned.#netflix #marvel #daredevil #daredevilseason3#DailyMovieSketch #ballpointpen#388 / 6-Nov-18
