traditionalART - December 07

I’ve been on dA for about a year now, and feel it’s about time I gave something back to the community. This monthly news feature is going highlight some of, in my opinion, the best unseen traditional art out there. I’ll be including 12 different deviants each issue. If you like what you see, feel free to check out the galleries on show, and remember to +fav the article so more people can become acquainted with these stunning artists! They’ve all got different styles, so try looking at something new!

A relatively new artist here on dA, I was lucky enough to catch one of her deviations in the “newest” section. Her work is jam-packed with colour and life, and would be perfect for children’s illustration.

One of the deviants I have been watching ever since I joined dA, I really enjoy natiq's paintings- they have such an interesting ethnic style.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed this selection of traditional artists! It's great to know that there's so much quality out there, I had real trouble cutting it down to twelve. At least it means the next issue will be just as crammed with talent!

Suggestions as to how to improve this article, or artist nominations for next month, are very welcome!

Dussty.
