: What is the best way for an (almost) complete beginner to learn Digital Painting? If this question has been asked already, I apologise. I've had trouble finding a good recommendation of things

If this question has been asked already, I apologise.

I've had trouble finding a good recommendation of things to learn in order to become a good digital artist. The Internet is full of suggestions, of course, but I'd like to hear some advice from experienced artists, if possible. Is it better to first learn traditional painting and drawing, before getting into digital media? Or is it better to first complete some courses or read some books on Photoshop or Illustrator?
It's a bit confusing for someone wanting to learn on his own. If someone could shed some light on this matter, it'd be great.

Thank you in advance.

If you wish to paint, you need to learn how to paint.

What tools you use to paint don't matter. The fundamental methods and theories used for painting are the same whether using crayons and construction paper or a mouse and software.

Learning software will never teach someone how to be a painter. Software is a tool, that's all. A means to an end. Software can not tell you where to put a brush stroke, or what type of stroke to use or what color works best...
