Welcome to our new bi-monthly installment of the Art Challenge! Take out your preferred drawing tools of choice, be them the standard Pencil and Paper, or even the renowned Drawing Tablet to digitalize your work, and prepare to embark on an epic challenge to test your artistic skills!

This contest has been separated into two groups: One for Traditional - Pencil & Paper artwork, and one for Digital artwork! Your task for this contest is simple: Make a drawing of any specific theme that correlates with War Thunder. Your choice of vehicle/infantries/etc to be represented in your artwork are only limited to War Thunder's eras and theme, and your very own imagination. Your art can be based on our real world and its history, or even an alternative universe if you so choose. Your work can be realistic, or even a cartoon.
