| Groundhog Teapot In-Progress 3 (most current version) Changes to fur, added teeth, and cleaned up edges to resemble more of a teapot shape. Will go back and add more of the teapot to image, and also add "props" to indicate connection between groundhog and teapot (read more in "My Comments" below) |
 |
| Groundhog Teapot In-progress 2 Added more teapot imagery (left handle, base, and fill line), added more fur to give a uniform appearance, used different groundhog head, made fill line transparent to allow fur to show through. |

| The 1st original Groundhog Teapot from the last Class In-Progress |
My Comments:
The two drafts above are coming along but I still have a lot more to do on them. I have yet to put it in vectors but I will be working on that part this afternoon. The major difference between these two drafts and my first is that I went back and incorporated more of the teapot imagery into my original idea. I added the teapot base and handle, and merged the "teapot fill line" with the groundhog's fur. I also concentrated on making the shape of the groundhog more like that of a teapot (it had a rough, "cut and paste" look to it before, and it still does but hopefully in a much neater format).
I intend to add some "extra props" such as a shadow at the base of the teapot, "spring tea" sitting nearby, a calendar marked with groundhog day, and the prediction of 6 more weeks of winter to come (in which case someone WOULD want a nice, hot, cup of tea from their groundhog teapot). I will continue to work on making the connection between the groundhog and the teapot more obvious (perhaps in more of a commercial-like way) I may need to incorporate some text into my piece to get my idea across.
