We construct a relativistic potential quark model of D, D{sub s}, B, and B{sub s} mesons in which the light quark motion is described by the Dirac equation with a scalar-vector interaction and the heavy quark is considered a local source of the gluon field. The effective interquark interaction is described by a combination of the perturbative one-gluon exchange potential V{sub Coul}(r)=-{xi}/r and the long-range Lorentz-scalar and Lorentz-vector linear potentials S{sub l.r.}(r)=(1-{lambda})({sigma}r+V{sub 0}) and V{sub l.r.}(r)={lambda}({sigma}r+V{sub 0}), where 0{<=}{lambda}<1/2. Within the quasiclassical approximation, we obtain simple asymptotic formulas for the energy and mass spectra and for the mean radii of D, D{sub s}, B, and B{sub s} mesons, which ensure a high accuracy of calculations even for states with the radial quantum number n{sub r{approx}}1. We show that the fine structure of P-wave states in heavy-light mesons is primarily sensitive to the choice of two parameters: the strong-coupling constant {alpha}{sub s} and the coefficient {lambda} of mixing of the long-range scalar and vector potentials S{sub l.r.}(r) and V{sub l.r.}(r). The quasiclassical formulas for asymptotic coefficients of wave functions at zero and infinity are obtained.
