Right now my favorite quickest method is describe in The Natural Way to Draw by Kimon Nikolaides. Basically you just scribble out the whole mass of the person while looking at your drawing only sparingly and not lifting your pencil. That takes me about five seconds.

It would be more helpful I showed a drawing like that, but I need to go eat.
