A Comprehensive Dive into Creative Excellence

"Character Design Quarterly" is my go-to source for creative inspiration and skill enhancement. The magazine's diverse showcase of styles and genres never fails to ignite my imagination, making each issue a delightful journey into the world of character design. The interviews with industry professionals offer a peek behind the artistic curtain, while the step-by-step tutorials cater to artists of all levels.

A must have for any illustrator or character design artist

It's honestly the highlight of my week whenever the latest magazine arrives! The artwork inside is absolutely stunning and the magazines are useful for any type of artist, from beginner to pro! It's always fascinating to see how other artists work and how they decide on everything from their colour schemes to the shapes used to build a character. I usually get about 3 pages in before the inspiration to draw strikes! I've recommended this subscription to so many of my friends and fellow artists, and I will continue to look forward to each and every new addition to my collection!

So happy with it

I was so excited to get my first issue of this magazine and it did not disappoint. It's always beautifully designed, simple to understand and full of useful tools and tips. Will continue to repurchase.

Doesn't get better than this

As someone who has been collecting books on illutrators' and designers' interviews and processes for a couple of decades now, I can easily say that CDQ do it best.

Each book is carefully laid out and well crafted. Every artist review is a pleasure to read, and that's not even mentioning how good they are just to look at!

I'd recommend these to anyone who is interested in character design, and if that's not enough to tickle your fancy, they also give out sketchbooks! Occasionally even handing out insightful booklets with drawing tips, which have been much appreciated to date :)

So if you've read this far and are clearly contemplating on subscribing to the magazine for either yourself or a loved one, subscribe! You won't regret it.
