The Suicide Squad (2021)Directed by James GunnIt's October and that also means it's @inktober #inktober, where anyone interested is encouraged to make ink drawings during the month. There is a prompt list on the Inktober page, and like past years, I'm doing sketches this year as well. I actually did the complete challenge in 2016, with 31 drawings, one for each day (all of that you can check on my @dailymoviesketch art account), but in subsequent years, due to being busy at work, I did how many ever sketches I could. I did 17 last year.Let's see how many I am able to do this time. Like before, my preferred medium to use would be ballpoint pen. Here's the first sketch, for the prompt word "fish", a drawing of King Shark from James Gunn's upcoming "The Suicide Squad". Drew this with Bic multi colour ballpoint pen. Swipe for a scanned version.I am looking forward to the movie, we got to see a preview of it at the #dcfandome event some weeks ago. It has a huge roster of characters and a great cast, and James Gunn is great at making a film with an ensemble cast. So let's see how it is.Also, in the picture is something I placed an order for months ago, and received now only. It's a CD of 4 tracks inspired on "Mission: Impossible". In 1996, I had bought an audio tape of this and listened to it often. Track 4 was a piece of music not based on the original Lalo Schifrin theme. I was looking for an MP3 of it all these years, to no avail. Some months back I found a listing for an actual disc of this online, and ordered it. You can search for "Peaker Limits Mission Impossible".I haven't listened to it yet, since it's been years since I've used an optical drive! I have an external DVD drive, must look for it, connect it up and listen to this. I will probably rip the tracks off the CD.#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch #pixel2xl #teampixel#dcfandome #kingshark #thesuicidesquad@jamesgunn @thesuicidesquad#inktober2020#ballpointpen#555 / 2-Oct-20

[Drawing of @nameisnani from #VonPrime]V (2020)Directed by Mohanakrishna IndragantiThis movie was released on @primevideoin earlier this month and I watched it. It's an action thriller from the director of Nani's earlier film "Gentleman", with Sudheer Babu as a cop trying to catch a killer (Nani), who is leaving him clues. The movie was pretty interesting, and I liked it. It moved fast and was engaging. It had stylish cinematography and I liked the darker and violent tone. They should have probably gone all out and made it an 18+ movie instead of a 16+ (these are the Amazon ratings). I did see some criticism of the movie online but personally I enjoyed it. The acting was good and Nani had a strong screen presence.One of the shots when his character was introduced was very stylish, with cigarette smoke, so I thought I would draw it on toned paper. So here it is, done with Uni Pin 0.1 fineliner and 05 and 10 Gelly Roll on @strathmoreart Toned Tan A5 sketchbook.Swipe to see a scan of the image, and a couple of video clips while I was drawing it. I was trying a 'scribbling' kind of technique to get the shades, there are other pen artists that do this to achieve great realism on a large scale drawing (much larger than this though).#karthikabhiram #dailymoviesketch#nani #gentleman#tonedtan #inkdrawing #penandink#554 / 20-Sep-20

The Mandalorian Season 2 (2020)Created by Jon FavreauI loved Season 1 of this "Star Wars" based show, "The Mandalorian". The production values were superb, it was a space western with great action, humour, and was very entertaining all around. Season 2 is coming up on October 30, and I can't wait! They released the trailer for it yesterday and I couldn't help but draw something based on it. I drew The Child (called "Baby Yoda", but since this show is set after the events of Episodes IV, V, VI, this is not actually Yoda but a child of the same species). Who else is waiting for the second season?One fascinating aspect about the production is the use of virtual stages using a technology called ILM Stagecraft. I'd highly recommend looking that up if you haven't already. And I also love the music by Ludwig Goransson. It feels like Star Wars, but at the same time it has its own identity. The drawing was done with multi colour ballpoint pen on A5 sketchbook.

The Boys Season 2 (2020)Developed by Eric KripkeI enjoyed Season 1 of this very entertaining show based on a comic book series (that I've not read). The show involves superheroes, and is darkly comedic. Season 2's first look had this scene from Episode 3, with our protagonists in a boat. The Deep (this Universe's Aquaman-type hero) summons a whale to stop them. But, Butcher (Karl Urban) speeds up and rams the boat into the whale, in a very graphic but hilarious way. Poor Lucy the whale.I drew this shot, this was done with multi colour ballpoint pen.
