Smells Like Chocolate Body Paint to Me: Alex Ariza's Student Watercolor Paintings

I got to scan in some images from the watercolor sketch book Bil Donovan told me to fill up. Filling up a sketchbook isn't as hard as you think it is. Just do it damn it!

Here are some pieces that I'm somewhat happy to show.

I did these at the New York Public Library...you know, the big one famous one with the lions at the entrance.

Some chick was studying, so I decided to draw her too.

These few below I did for Bil Donovan's class. The lady model was dressed in a skimpy skirt with a wonderful view of her ass hanging out. I wish I had more time to draw her.

I stayed after school tonight to draw some nudes thanks to one of our teachers, Peter Emmerich.

Watercolor and Black Color Pencil Drawing of Woman 2009
This piece would be my favorite if I didn't fuck up the woman's hand. It annoys the hell outta me, but I posted it because I liked how the rest of it came out. Very Egon Schiele inspired.
