fantastic stuff man.

keep it up. maybe u should consider a career in car design. In any case, India is going to merge as the hotbed of auto RnD and design over the next decade. You could have an early bird advantage.

Way to GO!

Yes, finally I upload pics of my own designs:

A word of caution though. These skecthes are very old, some are as much as two years old, so........

I had a vision for a sports saloon a while ago. So I sketched out two of my ideas.

These saloons are meant to be BMW 5-series competitors, and if you notice, the cars generally look more compactly constructed than a five or an E. This is because of their short overhangs.
I intended them to offer high levels of rear-legroom. While this might be done in the Skoda Superb, it dosent really look very sporty, wheras this looks more sporty.
I dunno, what dyou guys think?

This was a sportscar design I sketched long time back, I guess it'll look pretty tame and boring today.

My idea for a modded Zen with a Baleno engine I spose. This was very casual , and I didnt really put much though into this, was a very spur-of-the-moment kinda thing.

Ah yes. The Banshee. My idea then for a small yet practical sportscar. I liked this one a lot. The drawing isnt great, but you get the idea.....

So, what dyou guys think? Please respond and give your opinions.....

Though they look decent..u still have some distance to go when it comes to sketching. How much time do you spend islero on one of these, i guess not that much. The lines and the arches need some control my opinion

Nice job nevertheless..keep goin
