2.2 Solid
Solid art is the "opposite" of lineart, it's not outlined but filled and
flat-shaded. It's often best fit on mid-sized and large pictures, though it can
also work for small pieces, such as the heart here. Often it looks better than
lineart, simply for the fact that it's not as "thin". Solid art is often used
for logos, ornament designs and text, but it fits almost any kind of subject.
It's not very well suited for faces though.

2.3 Grayscale
Grayscale is like solid art, but it consists of many different characters that
are used to portrays lighter and darker areas, making it the most suitable kind
of ASCII for picturing faces. It is usually best viewed white on black, such as
the example below (people using most graphical browsers can select it with a
mouse or press Ctrl-A to see it in inverse color). Most converters create
grayscale art, though rather messy kind with often no antialiasing. Grayscale
could be considered the most difficult of all ASCII techniques.

2.4 Camelized
Camelized ASCII art isn't very popular, even though it already appeared in the
book Alice in Wonderland. It is usually poetry (sometimes prose) made into the
shape of an object, often an animal. There are a couple of different techniques
for making the shapes. Some people use extra spacing to achieve lines of
required length, others wrap words from the middle or use extra characters.
