I don't know if anyone has seen that 30 minute claymation version of the classic Peter and the Wolf on Netflix, but it was stunning. I was in near tears as young Peter was forced to watch, helpless, as the wolf devoured his pet goose. It's been more than a week and I'm still not over it. The scene where he stares out at the carnage is chilling. I tried my best to capture it... I failed miserably.
Seriously, it was quite emotional.

Oh, the anger!
Good job with this one.
Now, go find a Kleenix.
He looks like he is watching something horrible. I think you captured the emotion well.
Wow! The intensity in his face is extraordinary. Awesome job! Now I want to check out the claymation film.
I had no idea claymation could be so traumatic. I'll just stick to watching "Pingu" with my niece then.
Poor Peter...I can see his fury.
I haven't seen it and now, after reading your description, I'm not sure I could watch it. But I probably will this weekend. =)
Pretty blue eyes. I love blue eyes.
Oh man! Those eyes are amazing.
Is this the one where the characters don't speak? I bought it for my grandson because he looks like the boy. The orignal one has the goose being swallowed alive and Peter still hearing the sounds that identifies her--the orchestral version. Love the drawing.
Peter and the Wolf was always a favorite of mine. I had no idea they made a claymation version of it. Must grab tissues and watch.
I love that movie. The soundtrack narrated by David Bowie is also really well done.
Great image!
Oh, the hummanity!!!!
That is a really great sketch. You can feel his pain in his eyes. He looks a lot like my youngest son when you scold him. Just devastated.
I've seen the Peter and the Wolf. It is my favorite version.
Awesome job on the face of Peter.

I have it marked.
That was one of my favorite stories as a kid. I had the book and everything.
I haven't seen the movie. This picture is really great - you can definitely see the emotion in his face. Uh, I wish I could draw.
great shading! claymation usually rubs me the wrong way, but maybe i'll have to check it out.
you really captured a lot of emotion with this one!
I loved that movie when I was a kid. I made my grandmother sit through it three times--back in the old days you could sit through more than one showing.
