[THREE YEARS OF @DAILYMOVIESKETCH!] Inglourious Basterds (2009)Directed by Quentin TarantinoI am one of those old-timer Instagrammers from Hyderabad and India, since I've been active on @instagram from November 2012, on my account @karthikabhiram. On 4-Apr-16 though, inspired by Art Challenges like @inktober, I started a second art account, @dailymoviesketch, for me to post my movie related drawings. I remember thinking at the time, "let's see how long I can keep this up". I did daily sketches for 4 months, which later on (and even currently) changed to one new sketch every 2-3 days.The earlier drawings were rough and quickly done (15-30 min), nowadays I spend a lot more time on them (45-120 min). With my busy work schedule, it's very difficult to draw daily. However, drawing REGULARLY, even if it's in a 2-3 day frequency, has really helped me improve a great deal. There were a lot of bad drawings earlier, that has come down now, I'm more or less happy with most of the work I'm posting. Still a long way to improve though. But, mistakes and all, I'm happy about all the drawings as they've all helped towards practice (350+ hours!). Sincere thanks to everyone who follows this account, for your support! Some of you have been there since the early days (you know who you are), thank you for sticking around for so long! To everyone, old followers and those who discovered this account more recently, I convey my gratitude, and I hope you find my work interesting.This is a drawing of Michael Fassbender as Archie Hickox from the fantastic "Inglourious Basterds". Among the many superbly crafted scenes where Tarantino builds suspense with dialogue, this is the tavern scene later in the movie, where Archie orders 'three glasses' by holding up his fingers like this, whereas the supposed German way of showing three is to show the thumb and first two fingers outstretched. I thought it was clever to reference this for my three year completion!This drawing was done with 0.5mm 2B pencil on A5 @cansonpaper and scanned.I'll be doing a recap on Stories here, of notable posts from this account. Stay tuned for that.#DailyMovieSketch#435 / 4-Apr-19
