Haha! I love the concept. Teapot head, mug hand, teabag jacket. It's great!

Critique:

The mug looks off-kilter. It looks like a leaning cylinder, because the sides are not perpendicular to the base.

The neck looks too thick, and the left shoulder is smaller than the right one, so I suggest using a human reference image to work out proportions in this regard.

The pencil strokes are clearly visible, especially in the background, and are jarringly all in different directions. The pencil work should be more lightly applied, and either in one direction, or in a spiral-motion to leave no marks at all.

The tone could be made more 3 dimensional by adding other colours. e.g. for the green areas, blue to add shade, and yellow to add tint.

Here's some tutorials I found that might be helpful, since I'm not much of a pencil colourist myself:

This is awesome! Even though I'm not much of a tea person ('cept for Oolong Tea), I do enjoy the concept. :lol: :+fav:

in regard to what renegade-hamster said... i dunno... i really like your style of colouring and i'd hate to see you change it. it's part of your drawings charm and rawness, being able to see the pencil marks. but i agree that the image could be realised better- again, using a human reference could help. also, maybe changing the composition would help? the fact that you can't see his elbow meant that you had to guess where his "hand" is positioned, meaning it doesnt look very believable. i think part of the humour of the image is that he should still look almost-believeable, but with these fantastical growths on his head and hand.

anyway! it's still a great idea- just the technical side could do with some tweaking. great!

this is one of my favorites. And the very things that some find could use improvement are the things that I find most dear. He is off, just a little, as we all are. He is magnificently realized, I think. Spoon tie, teehee.
:iconmechanixmilitia:
WTF! WHY DOES HE HAVE A BLUE COLLAR!

Awesome as always dude. Your colouring skills will be consumed by me in due time..
