Title goes here, if I remember correctly…
I’m not going to apologize, because by now most of you realize that this blog, albeit fun, is not high on the totem pole of my priorities, and suffers a bad case of neglect from time to time. However, this past bout was particularly bad (over a month… yikes!), so I took a few spare moments today to whip up a quickie sketch. Not only that, I filmed it and did a time lapse sort of deal, so you can check out the sketch, and also watch me sketch it. I thought it might add an interesting spin to a throwaway sketch (next time I’ll zoom in more). Enjoy!

What song is that in the vid and who is it by? (probably a really stupid question I know but I had to ask since it sounds
vaguely familiar liek i heard it in passing a while back but cant place it…)
Will you be doing more of these, I love seeing stuff like this.
What is the name of the song in that movie?
Like Injulen said, it’s ‘Machinehead’ off of the album ‘Sixteen Stone’ by Bush.
Swap it round, Bush by Machine Head
Um…nope, it’s actually Machinehead by Bush. Bush is the name of that band, and the song is called Machinehead.
Machine Head… by Bush… album is Sixteen Stone, one of my favorite songs. An i loved the video that is a really good idea.
As always, cool sketch, and the video is cool too - one question: Is that a pen or a pencil you’re using? I couldn’t quite tell.
It looks like a RemedyXâ„¢ 0.9 mechanical drawing pencil to me. I’m just guessing, because it looks just like the kind I use
Thanks, the video is a really good idea.
I’m lovin’ all these videos you’re making now. First the video updates for premium members, and now smaller stuff like this.
It’s just fun to see you explore different mediums.
From a fellow Tim and a big fan:
Your artwork is supurb, and matched by few, whilst exceeded by none.
You are a god among artists.
Continue doing what you’re good at.

I have to say dude, after watching that, I realized I move my paper around a lot when drawing my stuff.
It would take me much longer to draw something without twisting the paper to the right or left. I love the idea of the sketch video as well. I’m happy to see you’re taking full advantage of the You Tube.
Again, sweet stuff dude. I’ve got some more fan art coming your way as well. I’m putting a little more time into this one then the last ones I did for you. Hope you’re going to like them!

That was a cool video and i gotta admire your skills with the pencils.
I can’t draw straight line and near 0% artistic skills but i have still always wanted to be able to draw.
My sister was only 3 years old when she started to beat me with a pencil and i forsee that she could become a very good artist
if she would pursue it.
Also i was wondering, is that just some character you cooked up or is supposed to be someone your drawing?
- Egill
You’ve got a very steady hand there, a nice working pace. I should get my drawing pace up, practice makes a good medicine for that.
Sketch looks good, kinda reminds me of a Skrull from Marvel lore.
Nice song in your movie, ‘Machinehead’ by Bush. ‘Sixteen Stone’’s a great album, with ‘Glycerine’ as my fav. track.
Hope to see more of these movies, they’re inspiring to do more sketching myself.

whoa. its great to see u bck tim. im loving cad and wow ur just really gud at drawing!
Hey, as lone as you keep updating CAD, you can keep doing whatever the hell it is you do when not updating CAD.
I like the video BTW. Keep up the good work!
-Sam
Thanks to all who answered!
P.S.
Forgot to mention it before in my haste (yes, first time posting here): Tim, your art is amazing, I absolutley adore it. Kepp up the good work and the great comics!
Dude, wicked sick vid, AH!! It was awsome to see the one and only Tim at work. You are A GOD!!!!
Hey-ah,
Yeah, i thought i’d post my bit as well, even though its echoed by justabout everyone whose posted on this.
Its good to see ya back in the journal hotseat, and that video is real good to watch (and love the song too, its now a part of my music collection).
I’m agreein with zack in that u barely move ur paper at all, when i’m sketching in my pad i twist n turn the thing like crazy, and i can barely ever pull a sketch without rubbing something out and re-drawing it, lol. But yeah, lovin the artwork, for some reason everytime i take a look at the journal artwork, it gets me in the mood to sketch something, call it inspiring if you will. Keep the cad and everything up man, its definately good stuff.
Adios,
Shade
Tim, you really are amazing with a pencil and paper…
oh yes and about that song….
90’s alternative FTW!
Hi,
just love your art; your really amazing; I wish I could draw like that, really
I have a webcomic of my own, not very big, only 11 episodes so far; and I’m actually learning to draw (never learned it when i was a kid)
so, if you got any tips; I’d love to hear ‘em
lookin’ good!
I don’t mean to be an ass…but what about the WoW sketch?
you should film yourself drawing a comic that would be fucking awesome anyway keep up on the great work
he turned a 5 minute sketch into a minute vid.
If he films it at the same speed, (the comic estimating takes 4 hours) the video will be
48 minutes. And even with a very fast internet and computer, that takes a while to post on youtube (if i am correct).
Im not sure Tim is going to post a vid of him making a full comic just yet, he said he wasnt going to do a full one on CadPre, let alone public.
DAMMIT MAX YOU PREMIUM SNOB!
sompeople in this world just dont have money goddammit. I like his art but i have rent to worry about.
That’s more of Premium content. Not the whole process, but little sneak peeks. :]
Beautiful work, Tim.
OMG, you have a ‘livestrong’ bracelet!
nice drewing. I would like seeing more of this type of videos, they’re realy nice.
You bring joy to those who have none, and fulful my fantasy of giving idiodic customers hell.
May the light of the Information Age shine on your sketch pad.

Nice music pick! Not quite what I was expecting as background for a sketch, but a good song. My volume was turned up loud and I got a good shock.
Awesome…just one beef (well, not even really a beef now that I think about it…just that beef seemed like a good descriptor at the time…) FEET, man! We want more feet! How am I to know what that guy has below the panel?…He could be some freak octopus for all I know! Not that I have anything against freak octopuses, if there are any reading, but I’d still like to SEE the freak octopus foots…er..feet? tenti? Anyway, great work, and woOt for updates!
Are you going to put more of these videos on this Blog, or were you just testing it for premium members?
oh, the life of a webcomic designer. It seems that you’re way more precise than I thought! It’s really cool to see how it goes into the making. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the latest videos. The one here, and the one on CAD. And you seem to have a great taste in music!
Don’t worry about neglecting the blog, it’s actually nice to have one big update than loads of small ones.
The video your recently made on CAD is amazing. I loved the little peek at the animated series.
I’m really concidering joining!
NICE taste in music, you’re awesome.
Highlights? New development?
Heh.
You’re crazy with that Cintiq, man! One of those would be amazing but I’m guessing it probably costs more than my house.
i joined cad cause i saw that zeke wallpaper on the cad page realy every one join cad premium its great and it suports tim and all of that come on
Yeah, I would love to join CAD prem. but you need a creditcard…
and that’s problemo for me…
Nice video, and a good handywork too…
guess that’s why my sketches never goes as planned…
Nice Video!
I will check out that song when I get home….very nice.
Your artwork is great and I enjoy reading the comic.
I went through the archive twice because it was so funny.
Keep up the good work!
I LOVE IT!!
Really.
And, after seeing this video I know how to draw the basic lines for my own drawings… thanks!
Can you bring more Chef Brian and players 1 and 2 back into the comic more? I’m beginning to miss them
Hey, interesting idea to film while sketching. Anyway, I saw that other video where you use the Cintiq. Man, got so jealous. I want one!!
Anyhow, I’m a huge fan of CAD. Good luck.
Awesome as always Tim. Was nice to watch you in action. keep up the great work.
Im probably the only one who noticed this but, totally digging the flower pants man.
PS: Have my babies?
look at poor Lauren who commented above… tsk… she just wants more of her favourite characters….

ROB?
