Another great feature in this issue is an in-depth look at using Risograph to create characters. Natalie Andrewson, an American freelance illustrator and author, speaks to us about how she came to work in this unique medium and creates a brand-new character, walking us through her process.

CDQ 35 has now been released in the 3dtotal Shop!

This issue's cover is by Canadian illustrator Maxine Vee. Her cosy, fantasy-inspired characters and environments have led to work with Walt Disney Studios, Penguin Random House, Bloomsbury, and many more.
