30 minute Life drawing speed paint
Here are a couple of 30 minute Life drawing speed paints. I seem to be a lot faster using Painter and a Wacom tablet than I am with traditional media. Probably because I use digital media at least 80% of the time.

1 minute gesture drawings
I have been coordinating the short pose life drawing sessions for the Austin Visual Arts Association for over 4 years now. Each session starts with 40 minutes of 1 minute gestures to warmup and I have gotten pretty fast as a result. Here are a few a few pages of gestures from those sessions created in Painter with my Wacom and laptop.
Elvgren Master Copy studies
