There are wonderful art channels on Youtube that provide free videos where you can draw figure models who take on a variety of poses. Some of them have timers so you can try to catch a gesture in a minute, two minutes, five, etc. And my favorite channel now has an AGE CHECK on it, which means you a) have to sign into Youtube with an account and b) provide Youtube/Google with a credit card or a scan of your passport. All because you might get to see naked people posing in an entirely non sexual way. My eyeroll could be seen from space.
I absolutely don't want to give Google that much of my personal information, but I suspect the 'age check' block parameters might not be the same everywhere. I managed to grab the first four videos of this playlist before the gates went down, but the rest is unaccessible now. If you can see and play the files, then presumably you are currently not blocked.
If anyone here is willing, could you do me a huge favor and download a few of the videos, as many as you feel like clicking through, starting at Session 5? (I use a Firefox extension called YouTube Video and Audio Downloader, with the 'quick download' option which is just one click to grab a video and save it as mp4.) And if you could put them up on WeTransfer for easy download, that would be fantastic.
ETA: apparently the US can still see the videos and![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
plingo_kat was able to download some of them, which is wonderful (see comments below). Also, for some reason episode 4 of the playlist is still accessible on Youtube even to me in the EU, and features a lovely well-built man posing, if you want to see what the episodes are like.
Also, are there any art/drawing DW communities I could ask this same question in, or share the files with?
