An excellent resource!

One of my favorite art publications with lots of great advice, great profiles and really amazing art. The second issue was even better than the first.

A magazine for begginers and professionals

The first time I saw this magazine I found it quite interesting because of the content. At the beggining I thought that it was a magazine only for characters creators, but It's not. The magazine itself contents a lot of usefull interviews with professionals, in which they give you some interesting details about their work, their creative process and tips to design a character. This is very useful as much as if you are a professional because you can see what's going on in others artists minds and what they are working on, or if you are just interested in the field and want to know a little more about concept art, illustration and specifically character design. I also want to add that the presentation and print quality as of the materials used is excellent.I won't doubt to suscribe again.
