Keisuke after hearing Takumi telling himself that he's not a racer for the 15249th time

need more traced initial d memes

ok

Been thinking about Keisuke and decided to test out a new brush as well as a different art style

I HAD TO POST THIS TONIGHT, IM TOO EXCITED TO WAIT UNTIL MORNING.

Chibi drawing aside, this is my first real self indulgent piece and I couldn’t be happier! Drawing Takeshi with a plushie version of his bunny charm is literally a dream come true for me guys. I absolutely love seeing artists include the bunny in their artwork of him…and now I get to be one of them 🥹 As a beginner artist, that feels like a huge accomplishment! Tears were cried over this piece. First, because it was so cute and I couldn’t believe I drew it. Second, because I had to completely redraw his arms to make it actually look like he was holding the bunny…I’ll include it below 🥲

What a difference…it just didn’t look right. And I wasn’t gonna settle for anything less than my best for my Takeshi. This was also my first time referencing a stock image and drawing a pose. It was a challenging piece because I’m learning as I draw. And I wanted to include that to show the process and maybe encourage other beginner/self taught artists out there! Mistakes happen and sometimes you gotta really tweak a piece, but damn…it’s so cool to see your progress and the end result. Learning how to draw has really made me look at art differently and appreciate other people’s work because this shit isn’t easy! Not that I didn’t appreciate it before, it just really humbles you and makes you wonder if you could ever reach the skill that other people have. But it is really fun and I’m proud of myself for sticking with it! Sorry to write a whole essay, but this is like the coolest thing in the world to me. Draw the stuff you want to see, it feels so empowering haha!

While we’re here, I totally headcanon Takeshi as a big softie. He’s very heart on his sleeve and I love that. Tough guy exterior with a soft side. That bunny charm confirmed it for me. ❤️

I did the thing!

I got a dakimakura with Keisuke Takahashi. and I decided to make a meme out of it.kkk. (I like it. my best drawing ever.)

When you get 4 hours of sleep every day driving your dads old ass car at 5:am and just want to go to bed but your car keeps rizzing every racing team up.

Felt inspired to draw a fluffy haired chibi Takeshi after getting my copy of the manga yesterday!

FALLING BACK INTO INITIAL D- OH GOD look how cute that ae86 is tho, its making me miss the one my dad had when i was little- such a huggable car
