Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Pear-shaped teapot body
Start with a big pear shape that is a little narrower at the top. Draw the left side and bottom as one curve, then add a short curve on the right side, leaving gaps for the lid and handle to fill in later.
Step 3: The lid and knob
On top of the body, draw a curved dome for the lid and a flat curved line across its bottom edge. Add a small circle on the very top for the knob.
Step 4: Spout and handle
On the left, draw a spout that starts at the body, goes up and out in a slanted line, and ends in a little flat tip. On the right, draw a big thick curved handle like a letter C that joins the body at the top and bottom.
Step 5: The flower
In the middle of the teapot, draw five round petals in a circle like a puffy cloud. Leave a small circle in the center, and fill the petals in.
Step 6: The front teacup
At the bottom right, draw a wide flat top line, then curve the sides down into a bowl shape. Add a small loop on the right side for a handle, and a short slanted line going up from the cup toward the teapot.
Step 7: The saucer under it
Draw a flat oval underneath the cup, so the cup sits right in the middle of it.
Step 8: The left teacup and saucer
At the bottom left, draw a wide flat top line and curve the sides down like a bowl. Then draw a flat oval saucer under it.
Step 9: Steam and shine
Draw wavy, curly lines floating up above the spout and above the left cup to show the tea is hot. Add one short curved line on the teapot's shoulder for a shiny spot.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a teapot with teacups
- Draw the pear-shaped teapot body first and make it big. The cups are much smaller, so they are easier to place once the teapot is there.
- The flower is the trickiest part. Draw five round bumps in a circle with a small circle left open in the middle, like petals on a daisy.
- For the steam, draw slow, wiggly lines that float up. Keep them light so they look like they are drifting.
