From the publisher:

Each issue provides detailed tutorials on creating diverse characters, enabling you to explore the processes and decision making that go into creating amazing characters. Learn new ways to develop your own ideas, and discover from the artists what it is like to work for prolific animation studios such as Disney, Warner Bros., and DreamWorks.

One of 3dtotal's favourite contributing artists, Simone Grünewald from Germany, shares her wealth of knowledge and talent with CDQ in this issue, with a beautiful cover design, an insightful interview, and an inspiring tutorial showing us how she came up with the cover artwork. Also in this issue, LA-based artist Chelsea Blecha discusses how to effectively use lighting to enhance your character designs, while Kate Pellerin (aka Poopikat), who has over 166k followers on Instagram and lives in Toronto, Canada, reimagines the character of Alice from Alice in Wonderland in an in-depth tutorial.
