    Hey Swimteamizzle :)

    Thank you for sharing your sketches.

    My first tipp is to do not care to much about time as a beginner! xD It is much more important to focus on things like structure of the figure, perspective, proportions and a little bit anatomy before you put yourself under time pressure. The more you practice the better and quicker you will draw. Then you can challenge yourself, from my point of view.

    30sec -60sec: I personally think you only have time to focus on proportions and perspective. So in my opinion you managed it already quite well. It would be nice if you reduce the amount of lines and focus more on fewer but expressive lines that represent the movement &/or the outline of a form. So you spend more time "planning" a good line.

    5-10min: Now you can focus on everything I already mentioned (structure of the figure, perspective, proportions, anatomy) Yeeees xD. So you already know and used this cylinder-circle-technique thing which really helps to suggest the volume of a form. Good Job! I think you should focus a little bit more on proportion and structure of the figure. If you do not know where to begin start with simple soft lines that suggest the basic movement of the figure (30-60sec kinda prepares you for that). Then you can construct the form of the figure under consideration of perspective and anatomy.

    (The last step would be to draw in a core shadow. That helps to suggest the volume of the form a little bit more. That is what I am doing right know.)

    I hope you can read the tipps and that it was helpful for you.

    Practice creates masters :)
