The Suicide Squad (2021)Directed by James Gunn"Who knows why mad men do what they do."It's about a month to go, for James Gunn's "The Suicide Squad" to be released. Apart from the initial adult audience targeted Red Band trailer, there were a couple of other trailers released recently, which serve to build the excitement for the movie. I personally am really looking forward to it, this is an R-rated film and apparently, the studio didn't interfere in the making, which means this is an unadulterated James Gunn film. With his "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies for Marvel being really entertaining, it will be interesting to see how the "team up" approach would work when applied to the DC Universe.I really loved this one frame of @margotrobbie as Harley Quinn from the movie and wanted to draw it, so I did. This was done with 0.5mm 4B mechanical pencil on A5 notebook from @themedschoolstudent.store. Swipe to see a scanned version.Despite what anyone may say I really liked 2016's "Suicide Squad" though I actually expected that to be R-rated, and I really loved Harley from the movie (and I did a few drawings of her too). "Birds of Prey" was notable for nice action scenes too. This appears to be a sequel and a "soft reboot" as well. Let's see how it turns out.#pixel2xl #teampixel#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch#pencilart #pencildrawing #thesuicidesquad #harleyquinn #margotrobbie@jamesgunn @thesuicidesquad@instagram #hellofrom Hyderabad India #hellohyderabad #thisweekoninstagram#bornoninstagram#596 / 8-Jul-21

#CreateWithKarthik — Meme Based Art — Obama giving Obama a Medal"What it feels like to participate in your own Art Challenge" Another entry for my challenge to create meme based art, is a drawing of this popular meme. There's not a lot of history behind this — apparently this was a photo of then US President Barack Obama giving a medal to rockstar Bruce Springsteen. An unknown user Photoshopped it to make it look like he was giving a medal to himself. This picture never fails to bring a smile to my face, and I was laughing while drawing this too, very happy with my idea!The drawing was done with 0.5 mm 4B mechanical pencil on A7 size @menorah.stationery sketchbook. Swipe to see a scanned version and also a 1 min video clip in real time, while I was drawing this. I will probably use that in a Reel too.#pixel2xl #teampixel #karthikabhiram#meme #memes #memesimade#obamamemes #pencil #pencilart #pencildrawing#miniatureart

#CreateWithKarthik — Meme Based Art — Hide the Pain Harold / András AratóMy first sketch submission for my own art challenge to create meme based art, is this very well known face. This is András Arató, a 75 year old Hungarian retired Electrical Engineer, who went viral as a meme in 2012. Stock photos of his were used world over in memes, and he came to be known as "Hide the Pain Harold". He talks about this in a very nice TEDx talk, you could look it up on YouTube. From that video, he seems like a kind gentleman, who embraced the fame that comes with becoming a meme, and tried to be a positive influence to all.The drawing was done with multi colour ballpoint pen on A7 size @menorah.stationery sketchbook.

𝙎𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙣 𝙋𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙝𝙮 𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙨 — Last week, I had posted about an initiative I was thinking of, which is that I would do a Session on Photography Basics, on Google Meet. The session would be open to anyone interested, however the thing that I would want in return, is that the participants contribute to Covid relief in some way.Here I'm announcing the session, which is this Sunday, 30-May-21, at 4 PM. It will be about 1-1.5 hours long and the Registration Link is in my bio. Please fill up the form if you would like to register, and I will subsequently send the participants the Google Meet Link on the day of the session. I promise to make the session as informative and useful as I can!For the contribution itself, I suggest a minimum amount of INR 200, and the contribution could be to any fundraiser, charity or it could be even to support a known person/family who needs it. You need not disclose the particulars while registering, all I would want is that a contribution be made.In case you don't have any particular fundraisers in mind, you could look at Give India, Goonj or Hemkunt Foundation. You can look them up online and make a contribution.@karthikabhiram #karthikabhiram

𝙎𝙐𝙋𝙀𝙍 𝘽𝙇𝙊𝙊𝘿 𝙈𝙊𝙊𝙉 — Today (26 May), there was supposed to be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, and it was also a Super Blood Moon. In Hyderabad, I looked up that it was possible to observe a partial eclipse between around 6:45 PM to 7:20 PM. I did go upstairs at that time, however, there were clouds so I wasn't able to see the moon. The clouds cleared up at around 7:30 PM or so. So, while I was not able to see the eclipse (had there not been clouds, I guess it would still have just been a faint shadow on a part of the moon), I did take some interesting pictures of the full moon. Thanks to the clouds and the glow around the moon, it was something different from the pictures I've posted in the past, which pretty much all look the same.These pictures were shot between around 7:30 PM to 8 PM. The pictures in the carousel are not in chronological order, the second picture without any clouds is actually the most recent one (the more the clouds covering the moon, the earlier the picture was). All but one of these shots are with Canon 200D, 55-250mm lens. Various settings were used depending on the lighting. The last one in the set is a phone picture with Pixel 2 XL in Night Mode.#canon #200d #55250mm#supermoon #bloodmoon #superbloodmoon2021 #moon#lunareclipse#pixel2xl #teampixel#karthikabhiram

𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐅 @khaby00 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐋𝐀𝐘 — Recently, this person Khaby Lame became viral for his videos that poke fun at things being done in a needlessly complicated way. Since I like drawing memes, I thought he would be a good subject to draw so I did. The drawing was done with multi colour ballpoint pen and Gelly Roll pen on A6 sketchbook. You can swipe to see a scan. I think I may have gone a bit overboard on the shading which makes him look older than he actually is.I also took this opportunity to post an entry for @zuvamart's Quarantine Flatlay Challenge with the theme #bookstagram. I am not one who reads books (used to, as a kid, but not now). So, I don't have any books that I am reading currently to arrange in a flatlay. I could have probably used my copies of "Watchmen", but I have already done that a couple of years earlier. So I decided to use sketchbooks instead. You can never have too many sketchbooks!That is coffee and not tea in the photo. Also, after watching "Army of the Dead" I thought I'll shoot these pictures with 50mm lens. These are at f2 though, and that's the aperture that I always use on the f1.4 lens. Maybe I should post some shot at f1.4, let me see. The last picture is a phone BTS.#canon #5dmarkiii #50mm#karthikabhiram#khabylame #memes #memesimade#zuvamart #flatlay #flatlayindia@instagram #hellofrom Hyderabad India #hellohyderabad #thisweekoninstagram #bornoninstagram#ballpointpen #ballpointpendrawing

New shirt, so took some pictures. These are all shot on phone and edited in VSCO. I also watched Zack Snyder's "Army of the Dead" yesterday and loved it, and had posted Stories based on it, so sharing them along with this post. I will plan to draw something based on the movie too. #pixel2xl #teampixel #karthikabhiram #armyofthedead

Entry for @zuvamart's Quarantine Flatlay Challenge with the theme #handsinframe. Been a while since we had a challenge like this so today I took this shot. Swipe to see the setup for the photo, and some trial attempts. I am drawing @khaby00 who went viral recently with videos making fun of how people do things in a needlessly complicated way. You can see a work in progress shot also. The BTS photos are with my camera, others are Pixel 2 XL pictures. You can see the two most used sketchbooks of mine (A6 pad and @menorah.stationery A7 book), along with Menorah Black Sketchbook. #pixel2xl #teampixel #karthikabhiram @handsinframe #zuvamart @hellohyderabad #hellohyderabad #flatlay
