Overview
Each issue provides detailed tutorials on creating diverse characters, enabling you to explore the processes and decision making that go into creating amazing characters. Learn new ways to develop your own ideas, and discover from the artists what it is like to work for prolific animation studios such as Disney, Warner Bros., and DreamWorks.
Character Design Quarterly celebrates reaching 40 issues with a special 'redraw' cover by acclaimed artist Beatrice Blue. Beatrice recreates her previous cover for CDQ in spectacular style, sharing how her career and art style has progressed since her earlier appearance. Gabriela Niko, aka Doodle Traffic, chats with us about becoming a full-time artist and her love of sketchbooks, and also shares a collection of some of her favourite pieces in an in-depth interview. Elsewhere, Lidia Cambon shows us how she creates her elegant characters with alcohol markers in a full 15-step tutorial, and speaks to us about how to grow a following online. The issue also features tutorials by Sascha May, Matt Owen, John Gagne, Jack Teagle, Samuel Schultz, Gabriella Szendry, and Requinoesis.
