Description
Here's Alex from "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess. The book was amazing although a bit hard to read. The movie was good, too, but I prefer the book.

This is the scene where the "doctors" are showing him films of violence while playing classical music in the background. They show him footage of Nazi concentration camps and in the background Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is being played. Beethoven's Ninth is Alex's favorite piece of music. Meanwhile they've been giving him medicine to make him nauseous when viewing the films, thus conditioning him to hate violence. But now he's feeling nauseous while listening to the music. So he starts screaming out "It's a sin! Beethoven never hurt anyone! He just made music!" but the doctors continue to play it making it part of the conditioning. So now he can't listen to the music he loves.

I really liked this part because it's just so powerful, you know? The emotion in both the book and the movie are amazing and it really affected me. So for a school project, when my teacher asked us to illustrate and discuss a part of a book, movie, poem, song, etc., I instantly knew I was going to do this.

The shading and lineart could probably be better, but I kinda had to rush it since it's late and I still haven't showered. But I still really like it.
