Ascii scene ... How do I love you madly! Perhaps you like no
other scene could have arisen as early germinate squalid the
grain of the first computers and a beautiful flower, purple and
yellow flower with soft petals on modern computers. You managed
to survive the years, while remaining itself, remaining
faithful to its traditions.
Thousands of people around the world spend hours and days for
all sorts of ascii text and editors, they are just as artists,
musicians and coders live their lives, feel like, going
through. They are also struggling with depression and celebrate
in loneliness his eighteenth birthday. Sometimes they are funny
guys painting in on occasion, leading the amazing active
lifestyle, playing in the scene, rather than living it,
thinking only for a moment something that dedicated to his time
in life, while remaining that these elite ascii-artists and
understanding in the scene in hundreds of times more than the
young zaznayki who think they are gods.
Asci draw - that's fine. This fascinating, shocking herself
the idea of creating art that can touch the soul, in simple
text editors. Askey draw interesting and fun, sometimes boring
and unbearably hard, but when you look at the result, when
people write letters and thank for the work, when you yourself
feel intolerable stream of joy, rushing quickly from your
computer to the monitor from CRT to the retina of the eye from
the eye to the farthest piece of the brain responsible for
pleasure, you forget everything in the light, and it does not
matter how long you're staring at a monitor and how difficult
dalas you this picture. You love.
Probably to do askami, they really have to love it. Otherwise,
just not interested. I guess it was sparing of words and my
story in the first issue produced no impression on you. Sorry,
that was my mistake. I could not tell you about ascii-stage so
that you love her, I could not bring to you that shred of
information, which owned. My tutorial was simply terrible!
Sorry, I wrote to him even knowing little ascii-scene still not
seeing these works. Today I will try to fix error. So.
... Ascii scene, immersing the second ...
Thinking that the best time to paint, gave himself up to his
heart and desire. It is not necessary to draw asci under the
order, and most likely as a result you will not get the work
that will be remember many months stsenovoy life. Of course, if
the order coincides with the desire, then draw you simply must!
First of all, find out ascii-scene. We can not show it to you
whole, will lack any drive with hundreds of art pekami nor
Spectrum in principle. If you have no home pc / amiga, then go
to a friend or computer class at school or university. Razdobud
as possible more art pekov the best and most famous teams, read
as can be more tutorials and talk with experienced asci-artists.
The main thing - to see what others are doing, it is important
to study the work best, and these works you should be very much.
Do you think I could reach that, if not this too high by the
standards of ascii-scenes on the pc, but all the same level as
in varyas own juice, and swimming at the bottom of the
Spectrum, with its lamerskimi in Basically, crafts block-ascii?
I will reveal you a secret ... At first I was a very bad
asci-artist, I've only seen Spectrum asci and my understanding
of the Askey-stage were related. Then I saw three art-Peck on
the pc and found out about newskool'e, painted a somewhat
mediocre works and even wrote a tutorial. Only after that I
broke into a large asci scene, found the address the Internet
and was able to watch peki. More than one hundred and fifty.
More 150 Art pekov I managed to download and view. More than
150 artpekov I absorbed like a sponge, leaving only their
impressions of the best works and then trying to draw something
different. Important detail - paint it their own. Watch peki
not mean to repeat the pattern seen in their! I do not know the
exact recipe, but and no one knows, probably, but for myself I
have learned: leave feelings and impressions. No need to
memorize the details of the font tag - caught the style. No
need to redraw the facial expressions - to catch mood and
feelings. Do not imitate one-to-one advice from the tutorials -
mastered the technique, but the idea works invent itself. After
draw their asci - much more interesting than other people,
agree?
Now I will not explain to you in detail the process of drawing
in Basically he is almost fully described in my first article,
I just touch on some points of principle, in my opinion, for
Novice asci-artist.
. The first part
Getting to the drawing, not when it is necessary, but if you
want. Yes, I agree, if you are a famous actor and you have many
orders, you have to draw and without desire, but ... Yet, if
there is a possibility - Wait inspiration. You know, I have a
often happened: I sit up after midnight, doing something
totally unreal, read newspapers, write letters, and suddenly -
bah! - The idea Rushed in my brain, my fingers found themselves
modern and began to paint. For the first hourly draw almost
entirely graphic, with no details, only based on an outline.
Then begin to flatten, to provide all sorts of little things,
looking for what parts can and should add ... In general, while
I do not finish the work, to sleep - do not lie, because I just
can not. But it's nice to get up in the morning and smile at
what you navayal last night! * Smile * Just a desire to create
something yet.
. Style
What style of painting? Nobody will give you advice. Try
everything and then determine. But everything here depends on
the orders: rather often people need to diz'y oldskool'e, logs
in the block-ascii for ftp, newskool design for the info for
Deme ... That is, I think that need to learn to paint in all
styles, and even for myself to choose my favorite. For me, it
newskool, he bought me with his immensity and beauty. It can
draw almost everything, and when good skills the result is
stunning. In newskool you can draw a face using a gentle light
and shadow. Of course, in block-ascii you can draw a face, but
agreed that 255 characters for the gradation is much better
than 10.
. Time
How long can learn to draw asci? Yes, but compared to
pikselingom - quickly, in comparison with the coding - very
quickly. First always or almost always turns out badly, and
that's fine. Over time you learn the technique of drawing and
has focused on the idea. At least that's what I had: the first
work were with stupid ideas and bad aliasing (smoothing), then
I decided to learn technique, and drew anything important -
smoothing out everything as best we can. When I was at a
sufficient level mastered the technique, I stopped paying
attention to it, good shape and smooth anti-aliasing was not a
plus of work - it is now norm. This allows you to draw without
hesitation, without slowing myself such things. Give yourself
an idea!
. Von
We think over their work. Starting with the main theme and
ending with backgrounds. Background! This is a very important
detail. In principle, given the adjacent area pikselinga and
asci-scenes artists understand the importance of the
background. Good, nezaezzhenny background will always do your
best now. It is important not to focus on one type of
background, no matter how well he does not was. Recalling his
last tutorial, I noticed a mistake. There I said that the
background is important and that "I recently Like the
background of all possible frames. "Forget it, pretending I did
not say, and you - do not read! Yes, the frames are good once,
well, two ... But when all your work will be the background of
":" And "." Then honestly - erupts. First and foremost, you
yourself, in fact draw the same from work to work - really
soars. In general, as was always given to the idea and do it.
. End
Thanks to everyone who helped me become such asci-artist, as I
was. Thanks primarily to the Askey-teams, which showed what and
how to draw. Mimic, secular, remorse, galza, impure, karma,
odelay ... By the way, in your place I would remember those
names and immediately after reading the whole [krika2 ran would
'Net and download all their peki with mimic.ca, for example.
There is a section - archive, it is a lot of good asci. Or a
radical solution: Go to thuglife.org, this resource is as
interesting for askitista as gfxzone.org for pikselera.
Thank _zmej for what finally helped me to form
look at the asci scene for what revealed the secret - "splints
suck" - and that identified the main idea for a beginner - look
and learn ".
Thanks cool girl bjork, which caressed my soul in
While writing this article. Bjork, you rocks!
Thank you for that read to the end. Love asci scene, and she
answer you the same. Good luck!
