There is only so much I can do in five minutes. I can understand how it would theoretically be possible to expressively complete a worthwhile drawing in 5 minutes, and transmute the very shortness of the time into some sort of statement or style. However, I find my approach to drawing quite inflexible and I draw much the same way regardless of the time alloted. It is interesting how the skills and techniques involved in transferring the human figure to paper have somewhat been preserved somewhere in my instinctual memory. Though somewhat rusty on their reapplication after such a hiatus they still come back when attempting this pursuit once more. One such technique is the identification and utilization of the shapes formed at the boundaries of the figure and the background. Recognizing and replicating these shapes is essential and helpful to reproducing a realistic human shape.
