ASCII Tutor #3

Yes, the omnipresent darkness will not swallow you up! Now you can safely move on to... further smoothing. how could you already guess, not all secrets are highlighted in the third step. I should have left it something for the fourth - final one. here I did two things at once: finished smoothing, performing a couple more techniques, and attracted all three letters friend to friend, as if he made them grow together. let's talk about the techniques first... (Y) `$$$$ `$$$$ (having a good look at this piece, you can see ?$$ -> $$ what is the point y of the question mark? a little out of the ordinary `$ `$ line, which cannot be said about the slash) In general, I would like to note that many artists do not want or do not like use symbols from oldschool in your works (old school, while we learning a new school - newschool ascii). slashes are just that not the main attribute of the old school. don't be afraid to use them if in this case In a specific case, they will look better than any others. we are just such a case. the remaining 254 characters of the ascii table will not fit here better. one more technique (it is present in at least 5 places in the fourth step) is to use the │ and ║ icons. with them many things seem much better more rounded. Here are a couple of specific examples. (E) $$$j$$$j$$$ -> $$$║jjj║$$$ (top stick of letter) ┘"` `^" ┘"` `^"(P) $j$?Ў¤ -> $║j$Ў¤ (the place where the rounded part of the letter cuts into the straight line) ` ` It was also possible to work on the composition itself. for example, very The proposal to make the bottom stick of the letter E smoothly turns into the lower part of the roundness of the letter P. at the moment it may seem to you that this is this is exactly what it looks like, but in reality these two “arcs” do not converge at an unfolded angle, but at a slightly different angle. i.e., speaking in mathematical language, at the point of their contact it is impossible to calculate the derivative, which clearly shows that one “curve” is not a continuation of the other, and together they are not one whole. I don’t want to do this, because it’s unlikely that everything will change much composition. You can also merge the top-right stick of the letter Y a little with the top E, which will also give a good effect. Again, I leave this to the conscience of the readers, who can experiment themselves. only one thing! not worth it distribute this picture after working on it a little. it will be called rip, but they don’t like rip on our cool “scene”: it’s not good to redraw someone else’s things. yes, what else can I add about this... hmm... you shouldn't completely ruin my drawing style. It’s better to always try to add to something of her own. or simply refuse to use any symbols. I'm not I know... it’s just that after tutorials people always appear who draw in thatin the same manner as the author himself is their teacher. this is, of course, good, but... this year It is intended only for you to learn how to smooth out your work. ok, enough about sad. let's take a look at what came out of all this in the end... -+-[ cut step4.asc ]--- .┌o. _..,,..,,. _.┌oo┐,_ oS$S┐ d$$$I .oS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$So.
