Character Design Quarterly #32

Character Design Quarterly is a lively, creative magazine bringing inspiration, expert insights and amazing techniques to aspiring artists, character design enthusiasts, and professional illustrators around the world.

This issue's cover was created by Simone Gruenwald, who shows us how her enchanting image was made, and talks about her recent work and inspirations. Elsewhere, we speak to the organizers of the social-media sensation MerMay and feature art from their favourite winners and contributors over the years. Also, Carles Dalmau, the lead artist on the hit indie-game Cult of the Lamb creates a character from scratch and chats to us about his art journey so far.

With all this plus incredible character tutorials, invaluable advice on working with lighting, and a guide to creating a comic book page, there's certain to be something to inspire in CDQ 32.
