Another week, another edition of Sketch P*rn.  My, we have had a ton of them lately!  Leading up to auto show season, we expect to see several more coming through.

This week, we feature work from Audi.  As it begins its next line-up refresh, Audi will be introducing new vehicles and updating older models.  These sketches (ranging from loose marker drawings to tight digital sketches) show some of these.

We start off with a refined theme sketch for an A5 Cabrio.  Nice, loose sketch, focusing on stance and theme.  This sketch shows a few basic principles:  let the white of the paper come through, and have a focal point.  And, huge wheels that are completely out of perspective.

Guess what?  You get a double shot of Sketch-spresso tonight! That’s right, we dug up a few more sketches for your viewing pleasure:  Mercedes coupes!

Yeah, we know:  not the most excitingly styled vehicles in the world.  Perhaps that’s why Merc is trying to change all that by doing some sketch-sploration of what the next coupe might look like.

Thanks to Autoblog and CAR Magazine, the images here depict the current vehicle design, as well as several concepts that didn’t make the cut.  Ranging from simple line drawings to full-color renders (some of them overly-rendered, if you ask me) the images showcase the somewhat non-modern-enough styling of Mercedes.

Enjoy the rest of tonight’s eye-candy!

It’s time for our fix of hot sketches! With SEMA coming up in just a few short weeks the OEMs, suppliers, and tuners have opened the flood gates of sketches in preparation for the show.

This week, we have sketches of a variety of flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, and Moose Tracks.  They include sketches and renderings on paper, in Photoshop, and in ALIAS.

So grab a spoon, dig into our bowl of non-fat (yet high calorie) goodness, and enjoy the eye-snacks!

To see the full gallery of images, click the link and read on!  But we’re warning you: they’re chunky… and not in that “extra helping of Rocky Road” kind of way.

It’s Monday so let’s start the week off with a little inspiration.  This weeks dose of Sketch P*orn shows a quick marker sketch, a little drama, slick side view and a shiny car.  Take a look and see if any of these will help you out this week.  Enjoy!

Non descript and yet very interesting.  Great teaser shot.

Here is this weeks dose of inspiration.  Try out some of these when the Friday meltdown kicks in after lunch.  In honor of a Cobra Rally I will be in this weekend I will start with this.  (No I don’t have a Cobra darnit)

Here is a great loose sketch using mixed medias.  Love the energy in it.

Welcome to a new tradition here on CDf.  We love car sketches as most car enthusiasts and designers do.  With that love comes a large collection of images from the web.  Sketches range from cool student work to OEM development which they do not share enough of.  Every week we will share a range of images from rough early sketch to highly detailed final rendering.

We know that we all learn and are inspired from each other, so we are trying to do our part to help.  Click after the jump to find out this weeks pics.  Hopefully no one minds us spreading their inspirational work.

Bring on the hotness! Read more
