Everything you need to know to draw Tiny Tim Cratchit!

This Time It's Tiny Tim

This Time It's Tiny Tim

It’s Xmas beast draw time boys n girls! This year we’re doing Tiny Tim Cratchit, the wide eyed, small and sickly reminder of the holiday spirit.

For those of you who somehow don’t know the Dicken’s tale, we’ll very briefly summarize… dude had a dick boss and a sick kid. We are never told for sure what ailment said sickling suffered from, but we know it could be fixed with just a bit more money. Dick boss has a series of dreams where he visits the Cratchit family in alternate timelines. Whereupon, he learns that his selfish, uncaring management style, potentially kills his employee’s kid. So when dick boss wakes up, he has a change of heart and buys the Cratchit family a goose and (the still living in this timeline) Tim finishes the tale of with his famed “Let’s eat some f’ing bird!” ok well that’s not what he says… but you get the point… xmas is saved!

reminder

Now there are a couple of ways to play this. You are more than welcome to keep it holly and jolly, but given his questionable path to continued existence, drawings from alternate timelines are totally fair game, so take a slice from the future timeline of doom and show us what killed him, or jump ahead 20 years to see what a long lived Tim has become…. Just make him small enough to be called tiny, English enough to feel bad for and for f*cks sake have him use a tiny under-funded crutch.

That’s what you’ve got! This is our holiday draw so feel free to think of it as your present to me, and if you do, know i like things roughly scrawled and stupid! Know we’ll close off submissions for judgement midnight of Friday the 22nd… As always, We’ll gather the judges council and pick the one we feel most deserving, to win a shirt, so get your asses doodling!

Judgement Is Complete

First Place Tiny Tim DrawingThe Judge’s Council has convened and verdict given! Here’s how judgement for our 2017 Holiday, Tiny Tim, draw played out!

Judge Mona
Uhm, seriously? Without question I give this to Sean for taking on the googly eye challenge without even having a drawer full of ’em! (my wife fufilled my dream of a drawer full of stick on googly eyes for xmas!)

Judge me
Besides it just being great, I have two favorite parts of sean’s (# 8) first that I dont know whether that’s a tooth or a tongue, and second I’m pretty sure he just got a holiday manicure…

Judge Cody
Sean’s for me… the Powerpuff eyes hooked me in.

Judge Ken
i pick itnet (# 2). cool hat, classic hobo style.

Judge Sneurat
Pretty sure Snuerat’s been eaten by wolves, but she cant stop the tide of judgement anyways, so we’re tacking her vote on to ITnet’s too as ken is correct, that is a cool hat! Plus his drawings have never failed to make me smile even the cold and sad ones!

Disagree if you must but know that judgement is law and to the winner a shirt will go…. Thanks to drawers and judges alike. And even though the contest is done we’ll always welcome new Tiny Tim drawings for the archives! So draw on, and remember, 25 beasts drawn earns you a shirt!

You know I’m having a bit of a hard time deciding what with the flags, dissapointment and too long a tie wearing deal makers, whether of not this is a current political message… or my favorite option… the time a short, perm haired Julia Roberts, took her 8th grade field trip to DC!

Haha yesss! so small cold and wanting! I’m especially fond of the frayed… what is that tweed? wool? I’m bad with old timey fabrics it seems!

You know if this came from almost anyone else I’d be afraid of the next frame that starts with “But not today!” but since its from my mom, I think i can pretty safely assume it’s really just a sad kid hoping for a better potential future and not a vengeful, undersized and dead eyed murderer!

I mean as iconically weird as the ukulele playing Tiny Tim was, you knew there’s be at least one this battle! And the explanation “No that’s not a giant cat, Tiny Tim Thumb is gayly singing his manky legged little head off.” Dammit I wish I knew how to, believably, use manky in a sentence…

It’s funny how with that few words, how English that still sounds! Look at how he’s grown! His weakened lil feets replaced with grown man tappers and his orphanly rages swapped in for a damn fine sense of style… I do wonder why his head never grew any larger though 😉

Haha I’m not sure if he’s outgrown his little crutch or if that’s just an old english way of supporting your grotesquely overgrown shoulder! And I really appreciate that from a distance it sorta looks like his legs are plaid too!

If someone doesn’t buy this art to put on a package of japanese shortbread cookies… there’s just something wrong with the world! 😉
