Can beginners take this course? Do I need to have any art knowledge beforehand or will this course teach me everything that I need to know, including the basics? For example, I know little about figure drawing, character art and drawing faces right now. I also know little about drawing basics and fundamentals. I'm interested in drawing from reference, imagination and a combination of both. Is this course appropriate for me? I'm thinking about taking this course along with the Drawing Basics course by Stan Prokopenko.

This course is definitely for beginners getting into digital media, though I'd probably go through at least a bit of the Drawing Basics course before jumping into this one. If you look at the lessons, we go through all the basics of drawing/painting digitally, but we also jump into figure drawing/painting as part of our practice and you'll likely want to have a bit of figure practice under your belt before trying to learn that + a new medium.
If you get through the Shapes section of the Drawing Basics course you'll be in a decent place to start this one and you'll be in an even better place if you get through the Values section as well.
Hope that helps!

Hey! Do I need any figure drawing experience for this course, or does it start from scratch? I just finished Drawabox, so I know the basics but haven’t done figures yet.

Hi! You don't need figure drawing experience but some will always be helpful. Patrick does go over his basic approaches to figure drawing before he goes into more detailed stuff, but you're also welcome to try it out and if it's feeling too advanced for youm, you can reach out to support@proko.com to get a refund. Hope that helps!

Should we use this technique forward with smoothing out the shadows with finger/tools and spreading the shadow value into halftones, forward in our shadowing projects?

It's one technique to use but not the definitive one. It's a good idea to try it out though and see if it works for you!

Will the advance tips and techniques be specific to Photoshop? Would I be able to translate those into the tool I’m using (ie. Procreate)?
•

The second part in the course will be using Photoshop and Procreate mostly with one or two minor other programs being mentioned. But the ideas and approaches will usually work in any digital program.

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but I am currently watching the painting in color with blending modes lesson. I was just curious when he is blocking in the occlusion shadows with a multiply layer why that is more efficient than just painting in the shadows on a layer in normal mode. I get using the blending modes when the values have already been established, but why use the multiply blending mode from scratch?
•

For that lesson, it was more to show off how you can use blending modes vs showing what the most effective approach is. Jon wanted to show a technique that could help students understand the different photoshop options and there are a lot of artists who use blending modes in that manner. There are instructors in the second half of the course who paint in normal mode just like you mentioned! Hope that helps

Question... Is this course doable with a digital tablet? Do I need a Cintiq or a Wacom? I would really like to use a digital table if possible.
•

Yes! you do not need a Cintiq, we just use one in our studio. It really comes down to what tool you're most comfortable with and the Cintiq is just a useful tool to bridge the gap between drawing traditionally and drawing digitally. We've had instructors who prefer to use an Intuous tablet because they've mastered not needing to look at their hands and can really accurately draw and make lines with that.
