The thing about pledging is it drops you in the course wherever it is now, it doesn't get you access to all the content that was posted before you pledged. If you want access to that content, you have to pay again, you can get the archived content here at $8+ a term: https://gumroad.com/foundation_patreon

This isn't necessarily a problem, it's just that the Foundation course is not structured linearly (from basics to more advanced), but each video is a mostly self-contained dive into a particular concept or way of thinking about drawing.

Personally I wouldn't bother shelling out for access to Foundation. Your course is a fundamentally different structure, and one that is much easier to follow and better suited to beginners learning to draw.

In case you're interested, I tried out the first of Foundation's lessons, and after half an hour it became very apparent that the course is not for beginners. I guess there is an important distinction between the fundamentals you learn when beginning drawing, and the fundamentals that underpin more complex drawings. The latter is not a good place to invest time until you have a firm grasp of a lot of the concepts you teach with drawabox.

In recognition of this, I've pledged the money I would have put towards Foundation's lessons to you to help you run drawabox. I definitely feel it fills a gap that no other similar offering fills at the moment, so keep it up!
