Eiffel 65 • Blue (Da Ba Dee)Since @instagram has introduced this feature of adding music to static Feed posts, I had this idea to make sketches based on songs and post them with the music. This is the 1999 song Blue by Eiffel 65, which I fondly remember from that time, the early 2000s. The track appears on the soundtrack of “Iron Man Three” as well. There’s an interesting video by @vice on YouTube about this song!The drawing was done with ballpoint pen on A5 notebook and this is a scan.#karthikabhiram #ballpointpen #ballpointpenart #ballpointpendrawing #eiffel65 #bluedabadee

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013-2021)Created by Dan Goor and Michael SchurI was watching a few videos on YouTube yesterday covering Top 90s songs, which was really nostalgic! Since Instagram has now introduced a feature where one can add music to a static (single image) feed post, I had this idea where I could do sketches based on songs and have the respective track playing in the background.This is one of them — from one of the opening scenes in the show "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" with Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) singing "I Want it That Way" by Backstreet Boys. The scene is a very famous one.The drawing was done with Bic ballpoint pen on A5 notebook and this is a scan.#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch#ballpointpen #ballpointpendrawing#brooklynninenine #b99 #jakeperalta#backstreetboys #iwantitthatway#memes #b99memes #627 / 26-Nov-21

One more picture with a moody feel, inspired by @petespiratelife. From the Photo Walk organised by @passionographer_ and @rizwan26 a couple of weekends ago. Few asked where this was — this is Chor Bazar just near Charminar itself. @apple #iphone12mini #shotoniphone #karthikabhiram #hellohyderabad #streetphotography #vsco #petespiratelife @petermckinnon

Old coins at Old City. 🪙 From the Photo Walk organised by @passionographer_ and @rizwan26 a couple of weekends ago. I edited this one to have a darker and more moody vibe, inspired by the pictures on @petespiratelife (the style is very different of course but that was the inspiration). @apple #iphone12mini #shotoniphone #karthikabhiram

Eternals (2021)Directed by Chloé ZhaoI started this drawing of @gemmachan from @eternals a few days back, got around to finishing it yesterday. I scanned it and thought I’ll shoot a couple of photos to post as well. However, I’m making this a single image post (posting one of these after a long time!) because @instagram has introduced this feature that’s under testing, where you can add music to a feed post. It appears to work on single image posts and not Carousels so, posting this scan. The drawing was done with 0.5 mm 4B mechanical pencil on A5 notebook.About the movie, I wrote my thoughts in an earlier post. I liked the movie. #karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #pencil #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #eternals #gemmachan #626 / 21-Nov-21

Cosmos (2019)Directed by Elliot and Zander Weaver"Cosmos" is about three astronomers who go out into the woods one night, and come across a mysterious signal. Most of the movie is just the three characters in the one location, but thanks to the character development, the writing, acting, music, cinematography and the restrained way it's made, it's very engaging. The movie may not be for everyone, some may find it slow moving. Perhaps it could have benefited by being a bit shorter, nevertheless it had me onboard throughout and I enjoyed it. I love this kind of conceptual science fiction stories, and this was very nicely done.My appreciation for the movie went up further once I watched a behind the scenes video — it was actually made for "no budget" which means none of the crew or actors got paid, all gear was borrowed, and the crew was just a handful of people performing all the roles on set. It was five years from conception to the final release. It comes across as a very accomplished movie! I've seen other indie movies that tend to go crazy with colour grading, which make them look amateurish, this one was very professional all through and it looks far bigger budgeted than it actually was. A labour of love from all involved, one certainly has to appreciate it. I highly recommend searching for this movie and watching it. I watched it on @tubi where it's available for free.I wanted to make a sketch and write about this, but rather than having to draw all three characters, I thought I'd draw one of the caps they wear — with the name of their astronomy group. Since the text on the cap is written in white, it would be difficult to draw around it (or I'd have to write with Gelly Roll), so I decided to make an invert drawing. Found an image of the cap online, inverted it and used it as reference. This drawing was done with ballpoint pen on A6 sketchbook. Swipe to see scans.@apple #iphone12mini #shotoniphone#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch#ballpointpen #ballpointpendrawing#invertart #cosmos#625 / 20-Nov-21

A flatlay picture showing some recent art related acquisitions! I received a custom designed postcard from @abujoist, ordered @sketchedup20’s comic book “The Call of Kallisto” Issue 1, and ordered the May-June Issue of @idreamwithwords’s zine “Dances with the Daffodils”, which has some of my artwork featured in it as well! Do check out the creators I mentioned to see more of their work. @apple #iphone12mini #shotoniphone #vsco #karthikabhiram #flatlay
