Richard, I think the pressure of having to work fast did me quite a bit of good. We also have the 5 minute quick poses, that shoots one "set" with the model. At least the remainder of the time is devoted to a single pose.

I question the value of 5 minute poses. I think it harks to a life drawing methodology developed by Kimon Nicolaides in his book "The Natural Way to Draw" which somehow became quite univesal in college art departments 35-40 years ago, and I question its validity . . . as I question his "clumped wire" approach to figure drawing . . . personally, I think both (5 minute "gestures" and the "wire") are counter-intuitive, unintelligent, and a waste of time.
