i found all of theseusing definitions from google and i have an idea for a story now which i will be writing up later as i am still linking scenes together and making the story better.

as for research i found a load of images for teapots and i got some ideas from beaty and the beast as i watched the film. here are some of the images i have found,
these images are in no particular order.



the image above i chose because it could be an idea to add feet and arms to the teapot to make movement easier.

i chose this teapot as an idea because of the facial attributes which i could use to add character to my teapot.

this gave me an idea for my character teapot.


i added this image from a tutorial on drawing and animating fish and i thought is could help me with my teapot drawing.



i added this image because it was a good animation set from disney on bringing an inanimate teapot and cup to life which has been a big help with my project idea.
