I haven’t drawn a squid before and I tried a few different techniques when I was illustrating it. I’m happy with how it came out and the idea seems to work. Nice and simple which always works for me.

Tell us about your setup. What tools did you use to create the shot(s)?

Wacom tablet, Macbook Pro & coffee. I use the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator and draw start to finish on screen. All roughs/concepting is done as I draw.

(Be sure to check out some fascinating time-lapse videos of Glenn’s process. —Coach)

Choose a favorite shot from another player. Tell us why you dig it.

Theres so much good stuff on Dribbble, this one seems to stick though (Royalty speed-shop by Greg Cuellar). I love the simplicity and the clever speedo/crown logo—great idea.
