There are gaps left that look untidy though. This is where I couldn't get the
|
characters to fit together. Often you can solve this by using a letter. This is
|
about the only time I use letters and numbers apart from doing small details
|
like eyes. I'll mess around with my favourite 'connecting' characters like: "j"
|
"v" "V" "X" "x" "7" "i" "y" "Y". I'll use the "Y" I think, because it has the
|
right angles in the right places to connect the ears to the head. :-)

Last stage is to add the little details, and tidy up any messy or unclear bits.
|
I don't like that left ear at the minute, so I'll, change that. But in the
|
final version that goes on the web site I might decide to change it back. ;-)
|
Have a last check to make sure he actually looks like the picture I've been
|
working on, ask Robbie my fiance if he can tell what it is. If the Robbie test
|
succeeds, then I hit the save button, and start looking for something else to
|
draw. :-)

These are only the basics. There are other techniques such as shading, making
|
solid style ascii, anti-aliasing (making solid style ascii look smoother). But
|
I don't use those much so I'm not qualified to explain them. But this info
|
should be enough to get you started. :-)
|
If all else fails, you can always have a look at some of the other ascii art
|
tutorials and hints available. There are about 7 that I know of, but the
|
following three are the ones that I found useful and not too technical:
|
Daniel Au's
|
Rowan Crawford's
|
Joan Stark's
