Can you guys recommend me the best and most extensive courses on learning to digitally paint human figures and portraits?
I have good control in construction, anatomy and the basics, but feel a bit lost when it comes to digital values and color in the human figure and portrait.
I'm still new to digital, but one of my favourite artists is Krenz Cushart

Sounds like you haven't practiced values digitally yet, try to move away from copying values, but instead understanding lighting. I recommend the practical color DVD or look up "understanding color" and "understanding composition, " both by blenderguru on youtube. Loomis also covered values in Creative Illustration, I think.
Also if you're not so sure on figure drawing then practice Vilppu or Huston in both traditional and digital settings. I prefer Huston myself.
Just a tip, don't get fooled, if you start copying Krenz style without having his foundation, it'll be a crutch and you'll only be setting yourself up for a smaller clientele as in you won't be hired at certain companies if you can only draw animu. No offense, I love anime, but I know it's for a niche audience. Good luck, OP

Oh and I forgot the best tip, kek, practice your forms a lot and then render them once you learn lighting. Fill entire pages with value studies look up how to do value comp studies and render forms with different lighting setups. Done, OP, that's all you need.
If you suck at adding value to faces then study Asaro heads and set up 3d heads whether on your pc or your friend irl and study their values.
