Just been trying Autodesk Sketchbook here's a quick zombie sketch/concept with it, put a few textures in via PS. It seems like a good tool for fast concept work. It's also great fun for just doodling, very simple interface but great for tablets.

Zombie Concept
Sherlock Holmes
Rough Sketch from my sketchbook.
Update: Here's after some neatening up and messing around in Photoshop. Looks like he'd fit in more in Deadwood now mind but I still like it.
Sketches via Scanner
Just finally set up our printer/scanner. Scanned a couple of the most recent sketches I've done. Here they are;
Above: An old man, reference from an old photography book 'The book of portrait Photography'Below: A happy aged Asian man, reference from 'City of Darkness' (a book about Kowloon Walled City)
Finally I did another little test before heading to the coast tomorrow (weather permitting) of the filters with the circular polariser. I am still getting quite a bit of lens flare which isn't too hard to take out of shot if needed but not really desired.
A quickly knocked up HDR is below, I've not taken any lens flare or screen marks out just to show the issues I am getting currently. They'll be sorted tomorrow though.
Sketch and current work
A little more face sketching.
Also been working on some Dynamics in Maya and will be buying 2 more books when I'm back from a short trip back home. Dynamics/particles is pretty much what I spent most of my final year doing and also enjoyed it the most throughout university.
While most of my work was done in XSI/pflow I spent a lot of time using realflow and Fumefx. I'm currently moving the skills learned from that to Maya/MEL scripting. I've set myself some pretty simple effects tasks to do for now (smoke,fire,explosion,snow) just as starting points while I get used to the expressions editor and such.
Sketches and more Landscape work
Just a quick post of some sketches I did this week as well as a few photos I finally got round to sorting out which have been on my camera (memory card) for about a year or so. Enjoy!
The sketchbook I use is an Earthbound Cachet sketchbook (think that's what it's called) so if the paper looks dirty that's why! (I just enjoy the extra textures on it really).
Sketchbook Work
Here are some of the sketches from my sketchbook. I've just cropped some of them and put them on 1 big page. Varying styles. A lot of it is just character work / study but some doodles are related to my 3D work (such as the street/ market scenes).
Below is a quick painting I did of the Goblin (top right in the sketchdump). I've always found Orc/Goblin skin tones a bit easier to build up, I think mainly because when I first started painting models they were the first I gave a go and simple Highlighting techniques worked. Ugly characters are easier to draw/paint as well! You get a little more leeway. The next one I'm going to try is the girl with the Goggles (steampunk esque). Anyway enjoy!
PS for those that haven't had a look head on over to the new Digital Tutors site. Now all of their tutorials are online and ready to learn with a monthly subscription. I think it's an excellent idea and as soon as I get payment sorted I'll be signing up for 6 months straight away!
New Sketchbook
As mentioned yesterday I bought a new sketchbook! Here are some doodles from the first page.
I'm using a Conté white pencil/crayon just to add some highlights to things (I wanted an organic sketchbook as opposed to a plain white one to test some lighting / highlighting later on as I'm going to be designing my 3D projects in here).
Just before I go off to get food and similar here's a quick painting of the batman sketch. Photographed, uploaded and painted on with the mouse not the Wacom (really quick 5 minute job just to see what it looked like coloured in).
