Not everything work out well and easy when you are self taught a structure to begin with and a good foundation to explain the fundamental won't hurt from a professional. The issue is making the most of what you got and not getting overwhelm by the content to review.
Assembling and comparing resource is time consuming but it also the difference between thinking you got good content vs having the certitude what taught actually is repeated across the art community and is factual and effective. Obviously there misconception going around and those pitfall you want someone with a professional background to help you avoid. But it being able to trust people that can prove difficult specially when you don't even know good or wrong yet.
This curriculum is not really specific and rather broad from the look of it. This is a standard ''explorer'' type curriculum before the real game start i would say. But in the end taking this curriculum would be like taking a newbie quest over and over and it would be like trying to max every skill in a game it not necessary the best approch but it also a safe one but you won't really be able to stand out that way either. You might want to avoid repeating the curriculum many time otherwise you might not be able to find your own ''niche''
Personally i recommend ctrl paint but that really depend how much digital work you done so far. I find it the most rounded and easy to find your own structure the video list is like a blueprint on how to ''brew your own course'' since it not necessarly very in depth it like a bit like sampling some subject and using those ''short video'' as spring board to learn more about a specific topic that spark your interest.
Let say for example there a video on how to make brush it teach you some basic and you can then go do your own that not necessarly what i call a study but it still you gain something that valuable pretty quickly which can be turn into a product very fast the problem is to a degre that even if you sucessfully create a product you need some kind of advertising and that often come at a cost so you never really get over the fact you need to invest financially at one point or an other most likely to either start selling a product to get more cash to keep funding your ''solo learning''
What i suggest is also getting those free trial offer that often artist give away in there video if your let say in the first 100 to sign up to a website with a code you can get free acess for a limited time... this way you can check what inside the catalogue of those online resource and strategically buy what seem to be additional paid content that would fill the gap of content you can't find more in depth content free .Online paid content can be found for free or paid on site like udemy, gumroad, skillshare and other...
But first obviously bing on free content (the problem here is you will need to learn who as experience and who is talking from is rear end) Newbie can sometime get nudge of info but be cautious not to spend your time listening to ill advise.
I think that all for the moment...
