Yes, the omnipresent darkness will not swallow you up! part_5.1 in my opinion, very good... there are three steps left, each of which is continuation of this step. the main idea is to add to our work as a kind of background. background... background is very, very difficult. "make a background" means to do the last 25% of the work (remember that the first 50% is included in creating a sketch on paper, i.e. for the implementation of the sketch only 25% /|). in general so, guys... the background can elevate the shitty work, or it can ruin it world masterpiece. background means a lot... in the first version of the fifth step I implemented a simple background using just two characters - : and . (colon and point). It turned out simple, but quite pleasant. this is a very primitive background, but the work looks much more pleasant. this is the last step, in which also It is highly advisable to insert the abbreviation of your nickname into your work. y me this The abbreviation is written simply - sl. (slash). I don’t advise leaving more than 2-3 letters, as this may slightly affect the whole type of work. somewhere in the corner we are Let's push in these three characters and everything is fine. yes, also, 99 out of 100 works contain this the most pseudonym. It’s also very nice to name the file with the image something like sl-steps.asc, where the first two or three letters are nickname (alias), the remaining letters are dash is an abbreviation of the name. ok, let's see. -+-[ cut step5_1.asc ]--- ........ .. . . ... . ...... . ... .. .. .. . . .... ... ..: : :..:: ::: .┌o. :: _..,,..,,. _.┌oo┐,_ :..:::..:sl. ::: oS$S┐ : : :: d$$$I .oS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$So. ....:.:: .:: J$$$$$ ::: :...

What came out of all this is up to you to judge to you.

I found it quite interesting a drawing in which I like the background more than the other two... I also added it here a couple of messages (deciphering the picture itself). they look great in frames not even anything. By the way, if you want to skip the frames not for the picture, but for it (my frames seem to be behind me), then you can use this technique: .......... : : $$$$$$$$$ (and frame: $$$$$i$$$$ (second frame from the bottom right $$$$$$$$$ above -> : $$$$$i$$$$.... is as if behind itself $$$$$$$$$ left) :...SSSSSi$$$$ : cube) $$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$ : :....: In general, frameworks are very fertile soil. even one frame for the whole picture looks much more beautiful (in my opinion) than a bunch of bells and whistles all over areas of the drawing. Frames can also be combined with the first type of background, which looks good too. stop ranting. enjoy... /|) -+-[ cut step5_3.asc ]--- .................................... ............. .┌o. : _..,,..,,. _.┌oo┐,_ : : oS$S┐ : d$$$I .oS$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$So. : : J$$$$$ : J$$$$iJ$$$$$$║jjj║$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$b :: $$$$$$ : .$$$$$$$$$$┘"` `^"` ?$$L"└?j║$$$$$$┐ : : $$$$$I :...$$$$$$$$$┘.:............j$$$.....└j$$$$$┐.....: :....?$$$sl.....: ┌$$$$$$$$$' ::::::::::::.$$$$: └$$$$$. : $$$$L ┌$$$$$$$$$$ ::::::::::::$$$$': I$$$$$ :y "$$$$┐ j$$$$$:$$$$┘ :::::::::::d$$$P:: i$$$$$ :e `$$$$. ┌$$$$$7 i$$$$ .o#$$$$$S%o┐:j$$$$:::.......$$$$$I... :p `$$$$$$$$$$╝ $$$$$$║j$$$$j║$$$;:$$$$i::: j$$$$$' : :+ $$$$$$$┘ j$$$$"` :::::`"╙:j$$$$:::: ┌$$$$$┘ : :yellow `$$$$$' $$$$l :::::::::$$$$$:::: _┌o$$$$$$┘ : :eleete $$$$' J$$$$: : $$$$$o%S$$$$$$$j└` : :prod. d$$$' .$$$$$ : j$$$$$$$$$$║j$Ў¤` : :......┌$$$$'....:$$$$$L.....: _.,o#$$$$$$$$¤"^` : ┌$$$$$. : I$$$$$$$#o%#S$$$$$$j$$$$$' yep bbs welcoms : ╙$$$$j┘ : └╙?$$$$$$║jj$$Ў╜¤"` $$$$$┐ y o u : `""` : `^""^`` $$$$$$┐ o n li n e : : `^""^` : :..............................................: -+-[ cut step5_3.asc ]--- в каpтинкy step5_2.asc я вставил два своих логотипа (сокpащение от ника), в пpедыдyщyю каpтинкy - один. постаpайтесь их найти. /|)In conclusion, I would like to say a few more words about the very spirit of drawing in Aski... in an interview with some magazine havok //hrg (one of several famous Russian askists) said something like the following: “I paint in askies because I like to make beautiful things out of poor symbols." he really does The result is drawings worthy of imitation... so why am I leading all this? a to because in fact, smoothing is not the main thing. the main thing in the picture is idea. this is the moving stone of drawing... wow. what a phrase... stupid. yes that's it equally understandable. the most important part of drawing the next picture in aski (as in any other style - ansi, rip, hirez) there is an idea. there must be an idea fresh and original every time. be it an unusual arrangement of letters (if we draw a logo splash), an unusual font for the inscription (broken, rounded, yes whatever suits you in the end), an unusual angle of view (as in 3D games - you can look from different points), incredible facial features of some hero, unusual general drawing style. all this, put together, should give from time to time ever more interesting and original works. idea, idea and more idea. everything must be thought through to the last detail. all without exception! then you have The result will be original and interesting work in all respects. only then. a if once again you spit on originality and draw a new work,completely repeating the previous 5, then eventually you will get tired of it, this everyone around you will get tired of it, and you will stop being called an artist - they will call you an unprincipled and stupid stamper. work... Well, in general, at the very end, I would like to say that I would be very glad if anyone someday he will send me at least one of his works, signing at the end of the letter that I started drawing thanks to my “lessons”. I can also send anyone who wants it first "lesson" of drawing. write, I’m interested to know how it turns out for you, how it works out... I will be simply incredibly happy. that's it. bye... live Together and draw in ascii. good luck. slash //secular e-mail: secular@mail.ru fido-mail : 2:5011/36.109 There are several more tutors with a more complex level.
