The Matrix (1999)Directed by The Wachowskis“What if I told you… the line “What if I told you…” doesn't actually appear in the movie?”I’m trying out three different things with this artwork!First — this is an early entry for @tiny.sharma10 and @meghalika’s challenge @aninchaugust which is due to start on Sunday, but I thought I’lol do one now itself.Second — it’s also a meme based artwork, for my own art challenge this month, to create artwork based on memes. I haven’t been able to do as many works as I thought I would, but it’s fine I suppose.Third — @instagram has recently introduced a feature where two accounts can “collaborate”, where the same post would appear on both accounts and the engagement parameters would be shared. About a year ago, I moved to posting all my work on my @karthikabhiram account only. Previously, I used to put up my movie related sketches on my @dailymoviesketch art account, but then I thought it would be simpler for people to consume the content if they were on one account only. Going forward, I’ll make these art posts on both accounts.This is a drawing of Morpheus from “The Matrix”, which is an undisputed science fiction classic! This frame was used in several memes with the caption “What if I told you…”We’re getting a Part 4 hopefully this year, keeping fingers crossed for it. It’s in one square inch size and was done with 0.5mm 4B mechanical pencil on A5 size notebook from @themedschoolstudent.store. You can swipe to see a scanned version.@apple #iphone12mini #shotoniphone#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #createwithkarthik#aninchaugust #aninchaugust2021#pencil #pencildrawing #pencilart#miniatureart#thematrix #thematrixmemes #whatifitoldyou #memes #meme #memesimade #morpheus#598 / 29-Jul-21

iPhone, Pixel, DSLR — Yesterday, I put up a little game on Stories, where I had posted Stories from both my phones and asked people to identify which was posted from Android and which was from iPhone. The devices can be told apart because of the fonts. Also in captions, iPhone generates the curved quotes and apostrophes whereas on Android it’s the straight ones by default (“ is iPhone and " is Android).I thought it would be interesting to do another experiment, this time with photos. For still photos, both the Pixel and iPhone cameras are fantastic but each handles the same scene in different ways and has a different approach to portrait mode.So, here are a set of 6 photos, two shot with DSLR (Canon 5D Mark III, 50mm at f2, shot in JPG as I always do), two with iPhone, and two with Pixel 2 XL (phone photos were shot in Portrait Mode). Can you identify which is which?All the pictures had exactly the same edits applied in VSCO.This is not intended to be a scientific comparison and I also don’t mean to say that one is better than the other! All of these are terrific cameras and I enjoy using each one of them.The burger and fries were ordered through Swiggy from @marleysjoint (interesting name).#karthikabhiram#iphone12mini #pixel2xl #canon #5dmarkiii #50mm #50mmphotography#teampixel #capturedoncanon #shotoniphone#cameracomparison#vsco #vscohyderabad @instagram @apple @googlepixel @canonasia#hellofrom Hyderabad India #hellohyderabad

Masters of the Universe: Revelation Part 1 (2021)Created by Kevin Smith"Masters of the Universe: Revelation" from Netflix is a sequel series to the classic 1980s "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe". The show comprises two parts, each with 5 episodes. The first part was released yesterday and I watched it, and loved it.As a kid I used to watch the "He-Man" show and also bought the toys and comics. There was even a brand of chocolate called Fudgy which I used to buy just because they gave "He-Man" comics with it! So, I was excited for this show. The voice cast includes Luke Skywalker and The Joker (from "Batman" the Animated Series) himself, Mark Hamill, playing Skeletor.I won't be able to give any story details as it would be considered spoilery. But I was surprised at the direction the show took, with its story and the characters (they used so many characters from the original show). Certainly not for everyone but I liked it and I can't wait for Part 2.The animation details, action scenes, visuals were all well done. The music was epic (had a hint of "Conan the Barbarian" for me) but I missed the original series theme. The show is darker in tone.The font used for the end titles and the episode names is ITC Serif Gothic, like in the original Filmation show.Evil-Lyn in the show is voiced by "Game of Thrones" actor Lena Headey, and I drew her as the character. I haven't actually watched "Game of Thrones", but used a reference image from that show, for this drawing. The drawing was done with ballpoint pens on A6 sketchbook. You can swipe to see a scan of it.@apple #iphone12mini #shotoniphone#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch#mastersoftheuniverse #heman #mastersoftheuniverserevelation#evillyn #lenaheadey #motu #moremotu @masters @thatkevinsmith@iamlenaheadey#ballpointpen #ballpointpenart #ballpointpendrawing#597 / 24-Jul-21

Early entries for @aninchaugust #aninchaugust #aninchaugust2021 — This challenge is one that I look forward to, every August! @tiny.sharma10 and @meghalika started this in 2018 and the goal is to make artworks that fit in the space of an inch. Photographers can also participate by posting macro photos. This year they have introduced daily prompts as well, and I am eager to make miniature art for the challenge. Anyone can participate, all one has to do is post the artwork and tag appropriately.I had made two early entries for this challenge, one of which is featured in the promo video they have posted. I had not posted them before, so, putting them up now. There’s one ballpoint pen drawing that looks sort of abstract, it is actually an attempt to draw water from one of the photos that cycles through as Windows 10 Lock Screen wallpaper.The second one is a drawing @a_street_cat_named_benson, I found the reference photo very stylish and so drew it. This was done with Brustro colour pencils.You can swipe to see scans of both the drawings.@apple #iphone12mini #shotoniphone#karthikabhiram#miniatureart #pencil #ballpointpen
