Happiness is a Warm Mug

For the Figaroo Mini Contest. [link]

My first attempt to ink with a sable brush (aka paint brush). I find it difficult, because it requires a lot of concentration with the hand and the arm (no shaky hands, plz). Took me 39 minutes to sketch, pencil work, and ink. My advice is not to drop the brush at any circumstance .

It took me 1 hour and 26 minutes (I thought it will take me 30 minutes) to paint digitally and once again, with a mouse. However, unlike other digital works of mine, this one leans on towards simplicity. Didn't really emphasize on texture, but the neatness of the content.

I hope you like it, ! ^^

The title is obviously inspired by the song "Happiness is a Warm Gun" from The Beatles. Here's the partial lyric that I used from the actual song for this image.

When I hold you in my fingers
(Ooooooooohhh, oh yeah!)
And when I smell my sweetest coffee
I know nobody can do me no harm
Because happiness is a warm mug, momma
(Stir Stir Sip Sip)
Happiness is a warm mug
(Stir Stir Sip Sip)
-Yes it is, it's a warm mug!
