Do you do any sort of wire frame/skeletal structure drawing before you start drawing and shading details

I should draw more underlying anatomy but with live drawing there isn't enough time IMO. So I draw an action line / spine shape first and then draw quick perpendicular lines representing the hips and shoulders at the correct angle. From there I will typically draw the shape of the head next. You can kind of see what I mean in the lower left image here.



I think your priorities are backwards, learning the proportions, skeletal/muscular structure, and poses that the body can do are the biggest parts of drawings from a live model, if you don't have time to get to the shading or intricate facial features you should just leave them out because there are other ways of practicing drawing that will focus on those that aren't as dependent on having a live model. Like, search on tumblr or whatever for life drawing sketches from artists and a lot of them will be blank naked torsos with no face, clothes, or shading. Also starting with the base skeleton and working your way up to the details will force you to get faster at blocking in those first things and getting to the ending details faster and more accurately.

e: also studying skeletons and actually just drawing skeletal structures is really helpful
