Dumb and Dumber (1994)Directed by Peter Farrelly1994 was Jim Carrey's year, the actor becoming a comedy superstar with three hit movies being released all in the span of those 12 months. "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective", "The Mask" and "Dumb and Dumber" were hugely popular and I loved all three movies. For @mangopenciler's #drawwithmango #90snostalgia last year, I drew Jim from "The Mask", so this time I drew him as Lloyd Christmas from "Dumb and Dumber". The drawing was done with @staedtler ballpoint pens and Gelly Roll pen on A6 sketchbook and scanned.#dailymoviesketch #karthikabhiram #jimcarrey #dumbanddumber #ballpointpen#519 / 8-Mar-20

Speed (1994)Directed by Jan de Bont "Pop Quiz, hot shot — there's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do?" 𝙎𝙋𝙀𝙀𝘿 (1994) is a thoroughly entertaining, fast paced action film, starring Keanu Reeves as Officer Jack Traven, who must stop bomber Howard Payne, who has planted a bomb on a bus. I watched this movie dozens of times during school days on VHS, and I love it. So, when @mangopenciler announced the return of #drawwithmango #90snostalgia, I picked this to draw. The 1990s gave us several fantastic movies, and I intend to make more drawings based on those.This was done with 0.5mm 2B mechanical pencil and scanned.#dailymoviesketch #karthikabhiram #pencil #pencildrawing #miniatureart #aninchaugust #518 / 5-Mar-20

The Batman a.k.a. The Batman: Vengeance (2021)Directed by Matt Reeves𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝘼𝙏𝙈𝘼𝙉 — Costume Test Footage — A couple of days back, a short video was posted by Matt Reeves, a camera test for Robert Pattinson's Batman costume from "The Batman" (2021). This movie is apparently going to follow Batman's Year Two. Should be interesting. I drew Batman from the video, the drawing was done with red and black ballpoint pen on A6 sketchbook. #dailymoviesketch #thebatman #karthikabhiram #ballpointpen #mattreeves #robertpattinson#516 / 18-Feb-20

The Haunted World of El Superbeasto (2009)Directed by Rob ZombieRob Zombie has made some interesting movies. His best work in my opinion is the revenge story "The Devil's Rejects", the sequel to "House of 1000 Corpses". In 2009, this very curious effort — an adult animated comedy was released. This follows the adventures of El Superbeasto (voiced by Tom Papa), a former Mexican wrestler turned pornographic filmmaker, and his sister, superspy Suzi X (Sheri Moon Zombie), as they try to prevent Dr Satan (Paul Giamatti) from marrying a woman with the devil's mark, which will give him the powers of Hell.I liked this movie a lot, and feel it's underrated, and didn't get the attention it deserved. But then again, it probably appeals to a more niche kind of crowd. A lot of it is inspired by old school horror movies, Zombie's own characters and non-mainstream 70's/80's animation. The animation style is colourful, cartoonish and suitably slapstick. It's based on a comic book series that Zombie himself created, and I appreciate it because it's obviously his vision on screen, there's nothing like it elsewhere. It has cartoonish violence, nudity, and songs with vulgar lyrics, and it goes by quite quickly (just 77 min). One might think the storyline is a bit thin and the whole thing could have more substance, but then again considering the type of movie it is, I think one should not have those expectations and just enjoy it. The filmmakers obviously had a good time making it (though I believe it took a considerably long time in production). One of my favourite characters in the movie is the stripper Velvet Von Black (voiced by Rosario Dawson, who I thought was excellent). She is the woman with the devil's mark (666 on her butt). I drew Velvet, the drawing was done with multi colour ballpoint pen on A6 sketchbook and scanned.#dailymoviesketch #ballpointpen#515 / 13-Feb-20

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)Directed by Joe and Anthony RussoThis is an entry for the @inktober #inktober52 #inktober2020 prompt 'hammer'. Yes, Thor was the first that came to mind but rather than draw Mjolnir I drew Groot completing the Stormbreaker axe/hammer from Infinity War in that epic scene. The drawing was done with Uni Pin 0.1 fineliner and Gelly Roll pen on A6 sketchbook and scanned. This is about an inch square in size and done in stippling style.#dailymoviesketch #karthikabhiram#penandink #stippling #groot #avengers #avengersinfinitywar #miniatureart@neme.art #findartfeb2020 #findartfeb#514 / 9-Feb-20

This is from the 1989 “Batman” movie directed by Tim Burton, the scene where the Joker organises a parade at Gotham City’s 200th anniversary, with huge balloons and promising to give away money to people. He starts then gassing the crowd with his Smylex gas! Batman then gets rid of the balloons with the Batwing.The drawing was done with @staedtlermars ballpoint pens and Gelly Roll pen.

𝘽𝘼𝘿 𝘽𝙊𝙔𝙎 𝙁𝙊𝙍 𝙇𝙄𝙁𝙀 — I'm a fan of Michael Bay's "Bad Boys" and "Bad Boys II", both old school action movies, the kind you don't get to see much these days. They star Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as Detectives Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett of Miami PD, and both movies had the cops going against drug dealers. Part 3 comes from directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, and sees the Bad Boys coming back into action when an attempt on Mike's life is made by an unknown assassin, and when others from a past case are gunned down. Part 3 comes 17 years after Part 2 (which itself was released 8 years after the first). I initially was skeptical about how the movie would be. But reviews said the movie was surprisingly good, and I share that opinion – it's far better than one would expect. It continues that blend of action and comedy, the action scenes are good. Will Smith is as charismatic as ever, the two leads work well together in both the comedic moments as well as the dramatic ones.I was so happy to hear Mark Mancina's original theme music recalled here. Apparently Michael Bay wanted a more generic beats oriented score for Part 2, so the theme didn't come back, so it's nice to hear it in Part 3.I felt that the original two movies were more fun than this one. The tone was a bit inconsistent here, I felt it leaned more towards drama than the comedy and was a bit more serious. I thought it overstayed its welcome a bit also, with its last act set in Mexico City going on for too long.But nevertheless I liked Part 3 a lot and look forward to the fourth, which apparently has been fast tracked, so we won't have to wait till 2044 for it. I read that the title for Part 3 is a kind of missed opportunity – they could've called this just "Bad Boys 3" and the fourth "Bad Boys 4 Life". This is the first entry on the Anticipated Movies of 2020 artwork I'm working on, I drew Will Smith as Mike. The second square is John David Washington from "Tenet". They're one inch square in size, drawn with Prismacolor pencils on Canson paper.Note: There's a reference to dyeing one's beard here, something I never thought I'd see in a movie!

Drawing Will Smith from "Bad Boys for Life" and John David Washington from "Tenet". Both of them one inch square. I messed up the recording of both, Will Smith the worse one. But still, posting them. They took around 50 minutes to draw.

Ebola Syndrome (1996)Directed by Herman YauIf you are in the mood for watching an exploitation film, you could check out this 1996 Hong Kong movie. It stars Anthony Wong as Kai a perverted chef, who contracts the Ebola virus after molesting a tribal woman with the disease. He is immune to the effects though and ends up spreading it all over South Africa and later Hong Kong.While I wouldn't say this is a very good movie (there are viral outbreak movies that have been done much better, but that's not really the point of this movie), it's certainly entertaining and well worth your time, for this sort of material. It has enough of violence, blood, gore and offensive content to justify its Cat III tag (the Hong Kong equivalent of an adults only film or an NC-17 US rating). Anthony Wong is excellent as the disgusting and perverted lead character.The movie is on YouTube, which is where I saw it, I had posted a Story on my @karthikabhiram account with the link (it's in Highlights). I drew Kai from the movie, the drawing was done with @staedtlermars ballpoint pens on A6 sketchbook and scanned.Also tagging this as #uncensored, an entry for my series of sketches celebrating movies that have adult content. #dailymoviesketch #karthikabhiram#uncensored #ebola #ebolasyndrome#catiii #videonasty#ballpointpen#512 / 30-Jan-20
