I have to agree with Drew's comments here. These feel like small 5 door hatchbacks. Generally, with a crossover or SUV, you need to have the bottom of the rocker almost even with the centerline of the wheel-- just a little below. It also helps to render the wheel and tire rather than just represent the openings with blank discs. There are some interesting form development ideas here, just be careful not to use them all on one sketch. Lets see some more ideation.

Hi Vapro711. I think these are pretty nice sketches, but I agree with Xiao that the proportions don't seem quite right for the SRX. I think your wheels are a little too big for the overall proportion and the low ride height creates a heavy, rather than a "sleek" style. If that's part of your concept, that's fine, but since we haven't seen any early ideation, inspiration, or mood boards from you it's hard to tell (hint, hint).

This is much much better vapro, in fact, it's very good. I like the surface development and your respect for the current proportions. Don't get too caught up in the current model though, now take this and push it forward a bit to see what you can come up with.
Your designs are much improved already and your sketching style is very nice (the soft surface reflections in particular). Now you're really on the right track, so run with it and have some fun!
