theres no easy way to draw nice looking ASCII like ...
i have been around
for a while now.. started in december 96 with a really c
rappy ascii, and now:
- People actually LIKE my art well, someone do
Anyway... this tutorial is not about me... rather about
my ASCII style...
if uve look a bit close at my asciies, u can easily see
that theyre a bit
bigger than the usual size of a OLDSCHOOL ascii, becau
se my LETTERS are BIGGE
lets START...
1. the FIRST thing I do,is to choose what CHARACTERS i w
ant to use in a ASCII.
Recently, the , , and been a popular choic
e of mine. YOU should
choose characters urself, or else youll be a bit UNOR
IGINAL.
2. Begin to draw wide RECTANGULAR shapes, kinda like thi
3. Drawing oldschool ascii usually doesnt require a tal
ent for it, so dont
bother too much if ur first asciies like dull and bor
ing.
the shape is basic in ALL my asciies

o try to make the shape
look like alphabetic letter...:

something about that.

eachother.. like this:
a T! --------
8. now u got some weird ascii shape... now is the time t
o shape it in UR own
style... my style, as im the one writing this :
It says IT --------
this ASCII might not look nice... but it give u the BAS
ICS in MY way of making
oldschool asci........ just dont make it look too much
like my ascii, or you
will get accused of ripping i dont mind anybody rippi
ng me, but the ASCII
community generally dislikes/hates ripping..
Good luck everyone ...
