Maya Monday: Autodesk Sketchbook is Now Free! + Tutorial

The desktop version of Autodesk’s 2D drawing application Sketchbook is now free. It runs on both Window and Mac OS. Plus a couple of tutorials on how you can use Sketchbook in your Maya workflow.
At Autodesk, we believe creativity starts with an idea. From quick conceptual sketches to fully finished artwork, sketching is at the heart of the creative process. You never know when a great idea will strike, so access to fast and powerful creative sketching tools is an invaluable part of any creative process.
