The last ones:
The Tetrarch has quite a special place in a lot of our WoT Careers- for me, not so much. But also- it's a pretty interesting tank, and a lot of others think it's just cutsy... so here we go!
I went for a close frontal angle with some added FOV, but still realistic, nothing fish-eye. It was actually kind of tough to draw the basic shape, mostly because of the storage boxes in the reference(I wanted to draw my Tetrarch without them) and the sloped, declined rear.
Stupid Imgur screwed up the image order. But here's the first one- basic shape of the hull.
Here's the hull with some details added. The Tet definitely has a different aesthetic from other tanks- kinda just riveted together and really light and cheap... so I gotta reflect that in my sketchy, artsy detail. I think it came off decent as I went along.
Added the road wheels. The Tet's pretty weird because the drive sprocket is just a road wheel with little pine needles on it, and there's no front idler. So...
EASY TO ADD WHEELS! YES!
Here's the running gear mostly finished. I decided to do the track completely tensed, with it slacked under the rear wheel as seen in a photo when I was google imaging the thing. This would occur if the tetratrch was driven backwards and immediately parked, due to the light, very small track links and the rear drive.
Basic shape of the turret. Actually wasn't difficult to just keep trying for something that looks good- only needed like... 3 or 4 lines.
Here's the turret detail and gun added. Was thinking of doing the gun and turret in separate steps, but they both have so little to them that I didn't think it would matter.
And here's the final image. Added shading and some "whoosh" lines to make it look like it was moving. Kinda contradicts the track slack thing I did... lol. Anyways, hope it was enjoyable for all you Tetrarch fans out there, this tank was requested TONS of times and it was definitely overdue for one of these guides.

I have something pretty impressive planned for the next one- my hope is to either get it done soon enough to post tonight, or post it tomorrow tonight, but it'll be pretty epic.
