The looks02

Look
Front

Fastening specialist: a short graphite work jacket and wide indigo trousers with one knee panel. Tightens the flat strap on a personal closed cylindrical tea caddy at the hip. A single patch and contrasting stitching convey repair work; the figure is not covered in tools.

Look
Front

After the workshop: a pale striped waffle-knit sweater with a dark elbow patch and soft rusty-ochre trousers. One paw supports a small tilted teapot, the other its seated lid, with no pouring water; the travelling tea caddy has been removed.

Character starts with form.

A narrow, upright cocoon-shaped tea head with a broad, soft lower cheek and a continuous dark-tea surface. A pale face area, long flexible paws, a narrow body and heavy oval feet. Attentive golden eyes with a slight squint.
