Because in essence any curve can be represented as a set 2) __..,.┐┐y%#@S$╢ straight segments of arbitrarily small length, then $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ using the examples given here, you can draw any curve. 3) __.,. If you need to draw almost _.,.┐g%@S$╢$$$$$ horizontal line, then just use $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ several identical symbols next to each other, thenseveral symbols a little larger in size and so on. This can be seen in Fig. 1 4) _. _.┐#$$$ When you need to increase the angle a little, then _.┐#$$$$$$$$ just remove some double characters. ..#$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ The straight line will tilt noticeably. Fig.2 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ To select symbols for tilt, open the ascii table and carefully 5) .┐A$$$ take a closer look at the symbols. You will see which of them .┐$$$$$$$ which ones are higher and which ones are lower. Review the whole thing .┐$$$$$$$$$$$ table. Choose the symbols that suit you .┐$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ liked it. Then try to arrange them according to $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ space." When you succeed, you will understand which ones are better to use. 6) j$$$$$$ My row of symbols is shown in Fig. 3. j$$$$$$$ Choose the one you like. j$$$$$$$$ j$$$$$$$$$ We will bend further. Do you need j$$$$$$$$$$$ experiment... If in your range remove some symbols, then the tilt angle again7) T$$$$$ will increase. What symbols should I use? $$$$$$ - it's up to you. Fig.4. For tilting you can :$$$$$$ use 2 symbols, as in Fig.5. i$$$$$$ T$$$$$$ The angle shown in Fig. 6 is better not oversaturate picchi, unless, of course, you trying to create an entire drawing from straight lines. 8) `$$$$$$$$$ Otherwise, this straight line is somewhat out of whack. `$$$$$$$$ `$$$$$$$ In order to convey almost `$$$$$$ vertical line, use a colon, `$$$$$ English "and" and other subtle characters. see Fig.7 9) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Fig. 8 is the same as `¤Q$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and Fig. 6, but only upside down. Try not to `¤Q$$$$$$$$$$$ to oversaturate your pics with such smoothing. `¤Q$$$$$$$ `¤$$$$$ From fig.9 to fig.a the same thing goes as in Fig. 1-4, only upside down. Choose this way the same symbols that will gradually 0) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ yincrease, but overly. eg: ( `"¤+?$ ).`"╘?╡$$$$$$$$$$$$ Loop through all the tables. `"╘?╡$$$$$$ `"╘?╡$ The last pic.b is an arbitrary curve, ` for example. Try to draw something too similar. Be careful, notice what symbols appear beyond your imaginary line, a) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ which you ran, and replace these characters with `^°№¤╛+Ў?S.Qj╢╢$ are more suitable. `^ In general, drawing in Aski is a thing b) $$$$$$$$$$ practices. When you figure out which characters `$$$$$$$$$$ are more suitable in one situation or another, then `?╡$$$$$$ drawing will become much easier. `"╘╡$$ j$$ _,┐g%@#$$$$ Sketch Rimanez BooCheNets ,A$$$$$$$$$$$$ /bcn /sclr /jtx j$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$Ў╜Ў$$$ `╛?$?╛` T$$ $$$ PS. In conclusion, I also wanted to say about :$$$ spirit of drawing. Find your style. Don't copy i$$$ blindly, don't become a cliché. I'm not even saying j$$$$ is about plagiarism, but about style. Plagiarism or rip, this is,╡$$$$$ much worse. This discredits you. If you j%@$$$$$$$$ will be noticed for plagiarism, then, most likely, they will no longer j$$$$$$$$$$$$ will forget this and your next pics will be `╛╡$$$$$$$$$ to fall into doubt. Therefore I say again: "?$$$$$$$ don't rip it, but come up with it and implement it yourself. ASCII Painting Example (Second) Example of drawing in Ascii (second) why the second one? because the first one has already happened. it was published in the magazine rising number 2. due to the fact that there were quite a lot of positive reviews About that article, I decided to continue such a blessed topic. I hope this one too You will like the lesson. I also really hope that after reading it some people will also want to draw in aski. to be honest, with this article I am persecuting somewhat selfish goal... I want people to be interested in this kind of art, like drawing in ascii characters. yes, this is art that requires great effort for all the cells of your brain. if again we go to revelations, then I forgot completely everything that I wrote in the first “lesson”, i.e. I can and repeat (completely by accident). don't blame me for this. so... The first step in creating a truly high-quality drawing is to carefully washing it off. Usually these thoughts are expressed on paper. how did I oncewas proven by one well-known artist on our “scene”, an idea transferred to paper, there is 50% of the work successfully completed. just about there. so, my friends, no hesitate to express your thoughts on paper. this will help you a lot. on white and With a blank sheet of paper it’s always easier to implement everything in a matter of minutes and fix it right away all minor and major shortcomings, redo something, add something, highlight, circle, etc. I have a huge stack of yellowish sheets of paper for this purpose a4 format, which I often use for other purposes, but their main Its purpose is to serve as sketch paper. yes, still very much in this regard It’s bad to have a grandmother who is obsessed with cleanliness: mine will always stick to my room and let's clean everything up and throw away the excess. so, damn it, she ruined it with a dozen of the most beautiful ideas. also a very strong mood to draw appears in the midst of yet another stupid practice, when you do it so that don't fall asleep. I bring half of the sketches home from university. believe me, drawing with a couple is a very pleasant activity, especially with thoughts like you Then you will implement the matter in Aski. In the end, we have a sketch. there's something something that we ourselves like, and then we won’t be ashamed to show it to others. I don’t have such a sketch yet, but I’ll try to do something now Photoshop, because I don’t have a scanner. True, maybe something will work outscan, which I highly doubt. @IMG="askpnt1.pcx" ~~~~~~~: here you go. Crap. I couldn’t come up with anything worthwhile. :dimensions 216x140: oh well. but then you can work with : in rows and columns : background. to be honest, I could draw it myself : - 27x9 : three such stupid letters, but the whole point is that I : : I wanted to show that a sketch of the work is simply necessary. :: by the way, at the initial stage I never did : : no preliminary sketches, what about now :: I’m very, very sorry and I think I wasted my money :........................: almost a year of drawing... part_1 So, let's return to our lamb. We will draw the word yep. it doesn't carry any artistic value, and I will not receive anything for it. I just couldn't come up with something more interesting. and these tutorials have always been different the stupidity of the drawing itself. To begin with, we will try to transfer the basic forms to screen. For this (for now) we will use the $ symbol that everyone uses (almost), and I would not advise beginners to try to draw with something else. so, look what happened to me after translating this poor drawing into screen: -+-[ cut step1.asc ]--- $$$ $$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$$ $$$ $$$$$$$$ $$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$ $$$ $$$$$$ $$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$$ $$$ $$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$$ -+-[ cut step1.asc ]--- хех, вpоде отдаленно напоминает тот чеpно-белый pисyнок свеpхy. хотя... это еще только самое начало, котоpое yже навеpняка отпyгнyло половинy читателей этой статьи своим yбожеством. еще pаз повтоpяю... кpyжок "yмелые pyки" поможет вамsatisfy yourself and make this picture simply unrecognizable. don't quit reading right now, it’s better to quit it when you get tired of it. but only necessarily continue later. yay?
