The curriculum work about the course is still in progress at the time of writing. The course is a so-called Early Access version, which you can attend a reduced price for a limited time. When you join the course now, you don't need to pay any extra even if I set a higher price for the course. During the development work, more videos and assignments might be added to the course. The course price is to be changed when more content is added. In its current state, the course offers you the opportunity to learn character drawing, but not all of the videos have been added yet.
