Character Design Quarterly is a lively, creative magazine bringing inspiration, expert insights, and leading techniques to professional illustrators, artists, and character design enthusiasts worldwide.

"These things are just such a pleasure to look through. Every page has got a raft of things to look at and be inspired by." - Artbooks Reviewed

Inside this action-packed issue, we bring you a step-by-step tutorial from the talented Shannon Hallstein, who creates a cast of Las Vegas-themed characters, plus a project by Mitch Leeuwe, who takes a simple brief and designs a fascinating underwater sea witch and scary sidekick.

Elsewhere, we interview the founders of MUTI, a studio of illustrators and designers based in South Africa, and showcase their contemporary artwork. We also catch up with Annie Award winner Amanda Jolly about her impressive career in character design, working for clients from Sony to WAG, to Disney and now Netflix Animation.

Get stuck in and be inspired by all this, and much more inside!
