Greetings to all the great artistic masses out there, you have reached The Official My Space Page of “The Art of MONICA DELGADO!†I am originally from New York City and have had the luxury of calling Sunny Orlando, Fl. my home for the last 26 years. Since as far back as I could remember drawing has always been a symbiotic part of who I am never wavering. I am pretty sure I was born with a paint brush in my hand. I spent the majority of my school years captivated and drawing as much fantasy art as I could such as unicorns, dragons, and mermaids etc. Of course as any childhood passion I found myself falling out of it a bit. Only to be recently recharged and invigorated in the last few years amping up my fantasy style to that of a much darker macabre allure. This is very exhilarating as I continue to embrace this and grow as an Artist. I would have to say that several factors have played a great part in developing me as an Artist. For the most part I am a Self Driven, Self Motivated, and Self Taught Artist in the area of Commercial Art & Design. However, I continue to learn everyday though. The day that you stop allowing yourself to grow/learn as a person and an artist you have allowed your ego to take over. That is something that I keep in perspective a great deal never losing site of who I am.
My traditional style is that of Graphite pencils, Berol Prismacolor pencils, Berol pastels, Berol Prismacolor markers in combination of acrylic with my color penciling. I continue to adapt and learn in those tools also. Other areas that I have grown in creatively are in Web Design and Digital Illustration. Through the years I have realized that I'm not really into web design as much although I am no stranger to Flash, Director and Dream Weaver. Mostly, I appreciate the printed medium of Graphic Design more than web. Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator (all versions) has been an amazing staple in my growth as an artist in the Digital Arts. I am forever grateful to these tools as well as to all the artists out there that have gave me their expertise in their particular strengths to help me grow. Thank you… you all know who you are.
