To celebrate the occasion, I'm showcasing a fellow TradArtist here on dA.
~ImperfectArt333 is an artist with more than technical skill. She's got a brain for art - and that's less common than you might think.
Check out her page:
And check out some of my favorite works of hers:

^A great anatomy closeup. Also check out "Yellow Bones" in her scraps.

^These are two hands demonstrating a very high level of technical skill - but they both fade into sketchy unfinished drawings as you travel up the arm. Great effect.

^Two similar self portraits from a series she did. Both very differently, but very effectively, use texture to indicate form.

^And, finally, a truly disturbing and somewhat Dali-esque figure here. Full view is required for full impact.
So, check out the gallery, and feature a traditional artist in your own journal for Traditional Art Day!
