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

Entry for @mangopenciler2.0’s #drawwithmango challenge to do a self portrait as a human-animal hybrid, inspired by the show @sweettoothnetflix. About a month back I posted my first entry for the challenge and I thought of doing one more. Now rather than just do another drawing based on my own face I had this idea to use @faceapp’s AI generated female face as a reference. Maybe a weird idea but I thought it’s something different so I went ahead. Also this time I was not able to think of anything great for the animal part so I just added these antlers like one sees in the show promos (I have not watched it). What’s the flower on the page, you may ask — so, @rad_art_1 and her dad have started an Art Academy at Hyderabad (@masterclassartacademy) where they are offering offline as well as online art classes. On Saturday I had the opportunity to be part of a demo session and drew the rose as part of that. Both the drawings are done with ballpoint pen on A5 notebook from @themedschoolstudent.store. Swipe to see a scan. In the scan I moved the rose so that it’s centred, I think it makes for an interesting composition. The last slide has some of Faceapp’s scarily realistic outputs. The AI keeps getting better and better! #shotoniphone #iphone12mini #vsco #karthikabhiram #sweettoothfanart #sweettooth #ballpointpen #ballpointpenart #ballpointpendrawing

New acquisition — iPhone 12 Mini! You could say this is a belated birthday gift for myself. I had been considering getting a new phone last year itself but didn't do it, now, got this one. My Pixel 2 XL from 2018 is absolutely fine and right now, my SIM card is still in that phone. I'm planning to use both phones. The new one, more for video. #canon #200d #iphone12mini #karthikabhiram

Pizza and tea! Yesterday I was part of an Instagram Live session hosted by @travellingwiththelens where we talked about all things Instagram and building a community. The discussion is there on her page on IGTV. During the session I also drew one of her pizza pictures as an impromptu challenge and that's what you see here. @mangopenciler2.0 and @artbyamala also drew the same picture. Swipe here to see a coloured version on the scanned image and the scan as is. #pixel2xl #teampixel #karthikabhiram #pizza #tea #flatlayindia #zuvamart
