I'm not going to do anymore coloring or at least not much (as if I have been coloring often anyway). I'll just stick to getting better at drawing and shading and whatnot. I have discouraged myself.
After looking through pretty much all 9,000 of my favorites in thumbnail view, I thought, there's no way I could top this. I didn't realize how many colored works I've faved over the years either and they were mostly high quality digital paintings and things of the sort in realism or semi-realism. I have no clue how to practice from those. Unless I have like one of them as a mentor I probably won't be doing the same stuff any time soon.XD I would prefer easy learning methods because it's already hard enough to remember the techniques I've learned since I can't produce as much as I would like to.
So yeah, I'll deal with SAI and the shading I do with the black and white water brush and airbrush. I think it helps me learn to shade better anyway.
Like here of course:
Jeez, I'm such a novice. lol Thank you for dealing with me, my work, and my journals for this long and I appreciate all faves and watches even though I don't spam everyone with "thank you's" on their profile pages anymore. XD

9th dA Anniversary (for this account)
I've held this account ~Dark-SpectrumDS (https://www.deviantart.com/dark-spectrumds) for almost exactly nine years today. I've technically been on deviantART for about 11 years with my first account being this old thing: :iconDark-Spectrum:.
I don't feel too different though. I actually miss the days back in 2011-2013 when it was more lively (and I felt that I meant something to the community). Nowadays, it's way different especially with inactive accounts and people moving away as a whole (at least people I know).
I wasn't going to have any time to draw anything commemorating this (not like it's necessary) because I have to work the rest of the day away (not art-related). But I
Some Updates
I sincerely apologize for the lack of activity as of late yet again. I'm just going to discuss updates.
First off, I'm a bit confused at the sudden influx of views I got around Easter/April 1st to April 2nd. It was about 50 pageviews or so when normally I've been getting about 10-20 thanks to my inactivity. Did people think I was gonna draw a bunny picture or something for Easter showcasing my guys? That's cute but not at the moment. I've been busy (and I've been inexplicably sick but it's probably worsening anxiety).
Oh yeah, and other than that, I've been further developing my characters and I've done over 10,000 of those little gesture d
Thanks for b-day wishes + Updates
Hello, I apologize for the long absence. I still won't consider myself to be "back" if you will. However, thank you for the birthday wishes! I didn't really expect any after my inactivity and that's okay. If you didn't know, I just had a birthday December 7th (I also like to refer to it as Pearl Harbor Day).
I probably won't fully be back until I can create something I'd not be embarrassed to upload. I've taken a break from social media communication cold-turkey because I desperately needed one and it allowed me to think about what's more important. I've still been deciding on how I'd like to organize my accounts better either for artwork, p
DeviantART 8th Anniversary + Updates
Hello everyone old and new! I SINCERELY apologize for the absence/limited activity. (Would've been back earlier if dA hadn't any issues with my 3-month membership rebilling so I apologize for having nothing fancy...ever.) I do, however, have to mention that today marks the 8th anniversary of this account's creation. Oh, and please don't misunderstand. I've actually been on deviantART since 2007 so this year also marks my 10th anniversary here altogether.
My original account: ~Dark-Spectrum (https://www.deviantart.com/dark-spectrum) (Please excuse the old art styles. I was 14-15 back then.)
I'm not sure if I will ever get around to making any commemorative works. I can't make an

Hey, it's terrible to think that way. Keep in mind that your work is unique...as you are as a person. Your style will become more refined over time. Just be patient and keep at it.
