Illustrator & Instructor

Jonathan
DeLoca

Jonathan DeLoca is a professional illustrator, storyboard artist, and figure drawing instructor based in Norwalk, CT. With nearly 20 years of commercial experience, he has created licensed artwork for major entertainment properties sold at retailers including Target and Hot Topic, and has worked with clients across advertising, editorial, and publishing.

Jonathan currently teaches figure drawing and digital illustration at Silvermine Arts Center in New Canaan, CT, where his Quick Sketch program introduces students of all levels to a structured, gesture-first approach to drawing the figure. His teaching method is rooted in the Frank Reilly drawing system — simplified and made accessible for today's artists.

He trained at the School of Visual Arts (BFA, Illustration), the Watts Atelier, and the Art Students League of New York — a foundation that shapes both his commercial work and his approach in the classroom.
