Entry for @instagram's Weekend Hashtag Project #WHPreflections. This is also a drawing tip, something that I found helpful. When drawing a face, if you want to check whether the proportions are correct, just hold it up against a mirror. The flaws will become more noticeable and you'll be able to correct them. Pictured here is the "Breaking Bad" drawing that I did for @dailymoviesketch. There's another similar photo I posted at @karthikabhiram. #VSCOCam #Canon #5DMarkIII #50mmf14 #dual_composition #handsinframe

The Hunt (Jagten) (2012) Directed by Thomas VinterbergI watched this movie last Friday, as part of a Cinephiles Film Club screening. This month is the Denmark retrospective, so there's a selection of Danish movies being screened. The previous week, Thomas Vinterberg's "The Celebration (Festen)" was screened. "The Hunt" stars Mads Mikkelsen as a kindergarten teacher, Lucas. Lucas is a lonely man, separated from his wife and fighting for custody of his son, finding solace only in the company of close friends and the kids at school. Everything comes crashing down when he is accused of indecent conduct at the school. The mass hysteria that follows is almost terrifying, as Lucas becomes an outcast from his own close-knit community. I thought this movie was brilliantly well done. I liked it far more than "The Celebration". Once the central conflict of the movie was established, it just didn't let up, and the script and direction ensured that an intense tone was maintained. The cinematography was great and the acting from all was stellar, especially Mads Mikkelsen who obviously had to carry the film since he is on screen for a majority of the runtime. Highly recommended to watch, I would rate it a 9/10. This is a sketch of Mads as Lucas, it was drawn in pencil and scanned. #258 / 17-May-17

Alien: Covenant (2017)Directed by Ridley Scott [Birthday Special Drawing] "Alien: Covenant", initially titled "Alien: Paradise Lost", is the sequel to 2012's "Prometheus". That movie ended with the survivors of the "Prometheus" mission, Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) and the synthetic human, David (Michael Fassbender), taking a ship to the homeworld of the Engineers, the aliens who created life on Earth.Fast forward 10 years later – the "Covenant", transporting 2000 colonists in stasis, is on its way to the planet Origae-6, seven years being left on their journey. Their trip is interrupted by a freak accident, which brings the small crew out of hibernation. The synthetic on board the "Covenant" is Walter (also played by Michael Fassbender). A mysterious transmission from a nearby planet, seemingly human in origin, makes the "Covenant" crew stop to take a look – what they find is a desolate paradise, inhabited by David. But is this place safe, or incredibly hostile?I liked "Alien: Covenant" better than "Prometheus". Like its predecessor, it has gorgeous and stunning visuals (same cinematographer – Dariusz Wolski). Fassbender owned the screen every time he was on it. I loved the interaction between the two synthetics and the themes reminiscent of "Blade Runner". As you'd have seen in the trailers, we do get to see the xenomorphs we all know and love. When it came to the Alien stuff, this movie did well, and one appreciated the good amount of blood and gore that was in this. This movie does answer some of the questions raised in "Prometheus" while raising some new ones. Looking forward to the next (one or two?) entries in the series, that'll bring this up to "Alien". There were several nods to "Alien" here, the way the titles appeared on the screen and the music (with themes from the original). We got to see the movie a week earlier than in the US, I watched it on Sunday. Overall I'd give it an 8/10, it was very well done. This is a sketch of Michelangelo's Statue of David. David, my favourite character from the film, takes his name from this Statue in the fascinating opening scene. #257 / 15-May-17

3 Breaking Bad posters. The layout is the same, and they all use my pencil drawing of Walter White / Heisenberg. I put some of my favourite dialogues from the show on these. This picture of Walter is based on one of the promotional images for Season 5. The series of portraits of the cast are interesting – they all appear to have been shot with a wide angle lens, giving an interesting (slightly distorted) look to the faces.

The great Bryan Cranston as Walter White / Heisenberg from "Breaking Bad". I thought people would want a closer look at the artwork itself, so here you go. Apart from the "Ozymandias" poster which I posted previously, I'm planning to make two more designs (with only the text differing). They'll feature two of my favourite dialogues from the show. This is a pencil drawing that was scanned. #256 / 10-May-17

Breaking Bad (2008-2013) Created by Vince Gilligan I finished watching this incredible show on Netflix a couple of days back. "Breaking Bad" is one of the most critically acclaimed TV shows ever, and for good reason. The acting, writing, cinematography in the show are all fantastic. In the recent trailer released for "Alien: Covenant", there is a line from the poem "Ozymandias" by P B Shelley that can be heard. This was referenced in the graphic novel "Watchmen" as well, which is one of my all time favourite works in that genre. "Breaking Bad" Season 5 Episode 14 was also called "Ozymandias", and the trailer for the episode has Bryan Cranston reading out the poem. So, I thought I'd make a poster based on this. I drew Bryan Cranston as Walter White / Heisenberg, in pencil, scanned it, and then put together this poster in Photoshop. The logo is from Wikimedia, and the poem I took from Wikipedia. #256 / 10-May-17
