[#AnInchAugust × #DailyMovieSketch — Drawing of @radhikaofficial from @netflix_in’s “Ghoul”] Ghoul (2018)Directed by Patrick GrahamThere haven’t been new drawings here for a while now because I have been really busy with work. I will continue to be busy with running recruitment drives through the month of September, so updates here will be sporadic. Anyway, I got some time now to draw and post this.Over the last weekend I watched this three episode miniseries called “Ghoul” on Netflix. From British filmmaker Patrick Graham, this is a Phantom / Blumhouse production. India has become a police state in the near future. Meghdoot 31 is a terrorist holding / interrogation facility, with holding cells underground and the entire base cut off from the outside world (to the extent of the windows being blacked out so that no one knows the passage of time inside). It is here that a dangerous terrorist is transferred — and there seems to be something supernatural about him. Radhika Apte plays Nida Rahim, an interrogator who has been assigned to that base.I liked the atmosphere that they created, the isolated setting (sort of like a John Carpenter “The Thing” vibe) is quite nice and lends itself well to supernatural horror. Had they trimmed a bit of the backstory this could have easily been a two hour feature film rather than three 50 minute episodes. I liked it overall but there was a definite feeling of familiarity and it was all rather predictable. Worth watching though. There are quite a few memes that have come up recently commenting on how Radhika Apte is in everything that Netflix India has released. Both her and Netflix are also in on the joke. I drew her as Nida, the drawing was done with 0.5mm 2B mechanical pencil on paper and scanned. White highlights were added with a white gel pen. Drawing is one square inch in size (this may be the last one I'm doing for the #AnInchAugust challenge). Like my drawing of @mipalkarofficial I'll post a photo of this on my @karthikabhiram account too. #ghoul #radhikaapte#373 / 30-Aug-18
