Do I need Photoshop to learn from this tutorial?

This piece was created in Adobe Photoshop using a digital drawing tablet, but the lessons here are certainly applicable to both other digital applications as well as traditional painting styles. While specific Photoshop techniques are discussed here, most of those functions are available in other painting software as well.

 

Is this tutorial for beginners?

This tutorial was designed with the beginner and/or intermediate digital artist in mind. If you have no experience painting or using digital art software before, you may find some of these concepts a bit advanced, but if you have some very basic painting experience and are at least familiar with digital drawing software at minimum, this tutorial is for you.
