Once you've practised like this for a while, you can slow things down and start adding more detail over a longer drawing session. They're not going to look like people, just the impression of a figure. The point of this is not to draw characters. Don't do the whole ball-and-cylinder thing, just draw an impression of what is in front of you. Ink and brush are also great for this! Just stuff you can't erase. Instead of a pencil, get a stick of charcoal. Strict accuracy is less important than the flow and dynamism of the figure.
