New Drawing: The Bourne Ultimatum (plus, two older pictures)

Monday · 15 Oct 07 · 04:15 AM IST | Posted by Karthik | Category: Art

The last week was a busy one at work, and I really wasn't happy about that... it's definitely not a pleasant thing having to stay in office for more than 15 hours a day, yet, that was what happened on Thursday and Friday.  This line from Fight Club — "This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time" — seems very relevant when describing one's feelings in such a situation.  Anyway it was really good to have the weekend free, and I relaxed through it, waking up late each day and just relaxing otherwise.

On Saturday I re-watched Saw II and later in the evening, watched The Bourne Ultimatum.  It was an awesome movie, essentially a two-hour long chase!  Very nicely done.  So, when I was looking for something to draw for this weekend, Varun suggested I do this movie's poster.  That being a very detailed image, I was hesitant to attempt it, but gave it a shot anyway, and ended up with a drawing I'm very happy with.

The Bourne Ultimatum — Drawing by Karthik Abhiram

You can click the image above, or this link to view the full-size drawing.  As with my previous drawing, there is a detailed write-up on both the drawing as well as the movie, with "behind-the-scenes" images as well.  Have a look, and do post your comments.  But wait, that's not all — I also added two of my older drawings (from 1998 and 1999), which are similar in style (both are faces done in black and white).  You should have a look at those as well —

  • Total Recall — This picture I drew in 1998 (I believe it was during the holidays after First Year Intermediate) is one of Arnold Schwarzenegger from the movie poster.  I was quite proud of this one at the time.
  • The X-Files: The Cigarette Smoking Man — A drawing of William B Davis as "The Cigarette Smoking Man" a.k.a. "Cancer Man" a.k.a. "C G B Spender" from The X-Files.  This is from 1999 (I believe it was during the last days of Intermediate Second Year), and I was very happy with it because the shading came out very nicely, considering it was done directly with black ballpoint pen.

Well, that took longer than expected, and I really need to go to sleep, so I will conclude this post here.

Apart from the "Fight Club" line, one more comes to mind, and this is from the game "Blood II: The Chosen" - "You will die a slow, slow death!" :)
