@bob-szesnat Thank you. I'm going to see how I can tweak that.
@tyson-ranes if you have the svs subscription Will Terry just did a video series about color and story telling. It helped me so much with defining things in my paintings with color. you might want to check it out.

Awesome, thanks @bob-szesnat
Just my opinion, but I think it looks really good as a black and white piece. I would consider keeping it that way and maybe redoing it on nicer paper. I guess it all depends on what you want to do with your work and your portfolio.
Don't get me wrong, I also think it works as a colored piece. I would amp up the shadows on the colored version to create the moody feel you're aiming for.
Can't wait to see where you go with this. It seems like you have really strong drawing skills!

@tessw Thank you! Especially on the shadow remark, it helped a bunch. My strong suit is just pencil color is a struggle for me. Here is newest update hopefully one more session with it or 2 and I'll be done. (piece still in messy sketchy mode at the moment)
I love your illustration too. Others have given good advice.
Here is an update open for critique> I initially did this with the thought in mind of the oval so the outer drawing was always mean to be trimmed but now I'm not sure. Help me pick which might be best Im considering putting it in my portfolio.
@tyson-ranes I like the oval the best.
I like the oval one too, especially with the ears and feet breaking the oval. Maybe if you fade the whole edge of the oval you get a more dreamy feeling, as that's the message you want to give? Also your signature is way cooler on that one haha.
Oval one. And just a thought. . .adding steam rising from the mug might give it a bit more mood.
Great work, Tyson!
