The course is not "for" traditional, in the sense that it doesn't teach you to draw with any particular tool, whether traditional or digital. What it teaches are underlying concepts about how to draw, and it recommends the use of ink and paper because they help students to internalize and understand the concepts far more effectively, whereas learning those things with digital tools can result in more pitfalls for students to have to keep track of while also worrying about everything else in the lessons.
That doesn't mean that you can't use digital tools, just that it's not a great idea as far as making the best use of this course. Rather, it'd be better to learn the concepts Drawabox is trying to teach you as recommended, then take another separate course to help you with the specific challenges of working digitally.
You can read more about the reasoning behind the ink recommendation in this article - but most of all, keep in mind that the course itself was designed by someone who works digitally almost exclusively - so it's not like it's making any kind of statement that traditional is in any way better overall than digital. It's just more suitable for this specific purpose.
I use both medias. This course is incredible for both, bc this teach art fundamentals, this literally works for everything. Just keep discipline when digital, use a basic round brush without any effects, do not use layers, and do not erase anything the same way you wouldn't erase in tratidional. This way digital is almost the same as traditional
