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)?

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.
Thank you for the series of videos. I'll make my own piece with the process Bryce shown.

How different is this course from the Portrait Drawing Fundamentals Course by Stan Prokopenko? Does this course teach you how to construct the head from imagination? Which one is better?

They both approach head drawing in different ways but if I'd have to choose between the two I'd lean towards getting this one. Stan's premium content focuses more on the shading aspects of drawing the head while this course goes over more of Hampton's construction method to developing head drawings.

Asked for help
I seem to have trouble figuring out hands and feet. They seem like the should be simple, but they always end up looking blocky or flat. In general I enjoyed doing these. I think the master studies turned out pretty well, but when I was uploading the images, all I could see were the mistakes. As for the ones from imagination, they started a little stiff, but I think after doing a few I started to get a little more dynamic.
