Speed sketching wasnt really my thing so these were first efforts. Its a lot easier these days.

Early green

Early purple

Claysculpting guide orange

Late interior

Representing the old school style? seems like it. nice job with the colors

Here's a rough sketch of a new Lancia Stratos- one of my favorite cars- that I didn't have time to refine. I suppose it took about 15 minutes... I'm not counting. Crits on the design but not the sketch are welcome. I already know how bad and skewed the sketch is!

PS- the central division in the grille isn't supposed to be there--I forgot to erase it before scanning. I was in a hurry...

these sketches are crap. sorry for saying that, but those sketches you've posted links to are veeeery nice. congrats

oh...thy are not yours i just realize....sorry, i'm drunk, just came home from a club....back to your sketches sven c. : semms like you've got the perspective down almost without mistakes, it is just the line-work that makes it lokk not-so-nice; IMHO

and now i see you did the sketches in afew second and it was the design, you wanted crits on. ****ing vodka, just had toomucch well the design is nice. the back view of your crossover is a lttle retro, just, how i like it. the front is lambo-style, can't be wrong with that....would give a nice car...i especially like the windshield, how it wraps around the whole front and both sides. sg. that seems to be forgetten in todays concepts, only witnessed one example to that idea ... the stratos phenomeneon on last frankfurt auto show. or was it geneva? can't remember. oh! i could have edited my last posts?!? i am not familiar with forum posting, but i won't edit them....why shoiuld i?

LOL no, really? You don't say! LOL...
I really dislike the Phenomenon Stratos, so this is my way of getting back- one of these days I'm gonna churn out a worthy successor to the Stratos- and then they'll be sorry- Mua-ha-ha-ha!
Really, I have been mentally working on this idea for months now and still haven't quite grasped the fundamental of the original design. It's hard to make a successor without just copying the older version. I don't want to take that easy way out. I want to bring the Stratos back with the same soul that the first one carried to the rallies so many years ago.

Hi, could you please send some of your speed sketching works to have a look at them? (if you have)... ulikbai@yahoo.com

You talking to me or someone else? And why do you want the sketches?

Here are three I just churned out...

Here's one from my math notebook. Man, some review days are just SO boring!
My apologies for the lines, tho. I did my best not to make them stand out.

I estimate it took around 20 min

another hatch. please excuse the wheels and texture. I used Crayolas!
