But seeing the previews it kinda look like more focused on portrait esp the detailed portrait?
Im curious cuz im not focusing on portrait. I do some portrait but not much. Im also not in realism or semi-realism style, i saw the previews mostly kinda realism, my artstyle that im interested to more like 2d illustration or simple painting illustration.

Though almost all of our lessons are recorded in Adobe Photoshop, the vast majority of what we teach is app-independent. We focus mainly on teaching the really important stuff — the fundamental skills of digital painting like measurement, lighting, values and form, coloring, etc — rather than specific apps or tools. As long as your program has capabilities to use brushes, layers, and layer styles like color dodge or multiply you should do just fine.
I was a member of the academy recently, and I was able to follow every tutorial using CSP instead of photoshop, just needed to search for the equivalences. The brushes will go straight into your Photoshop brush library. If you need more help with this, let us know at [email protected].
