CDQ 22 is full of fun and insightful tutorials from a wide range of industry professionals. Melanie Tikhonova explores how shape language affects design, while Eirini Michailidou shows us how to create characters from three generations of the same family.

Our cover artist is Max Grecke, who takes us through how this striking image was created, and joins us for an in-depth interview. We also chat with industry legend Tom Bancroft, the creator of #MerMay, about his varied career to date, and award winning animator Eddy Okba about working on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse. There’s so much more to discover inside, so open the magazine and dig in!
