...I never really finished this picture, as you can see. We'll take
|
care of that, but first, I want you to notice that the additional
|
characters I have used in this castle:
|
/ \ ^ . "
|
Find them on your keyboard, and get ready to use 'em.
|
Now, you might think that curve above the door is simple. It is.
|
It's made on two lines, like this:
|
line 1 ... three periods
|
line 2 ." ". a period and a quotation mark, followed by three
|
spaces, and then a quotation mark and another period.
|
Together, lines 1+2 look like this:
|
...
|
." ". ... a simple arch.
|
Let's finish this picture, now...

All I have done here, is brick in the tower, add a midline to the
|
door, and add a little flag at the top. I didn't really care for the
|
"shingles" I had on the roof, so I deleted them. If you liked them,
|
you can keep them in, of course.
|
That "flag" looks cute, but it is really nothing except the <
|
character... Oh my, my; I mean the > character, entered a few times,
|
until it looks like a flag.
|
Next, let's add a line to give it a little dimension, just like
|
with a drawn picture on a sketchpad. We won't really need anything
|
except the "_" character again....

|
That's much better, isn't it? But this picture still lacks an
|
element or two... I think what this picture really needs, is a tree or
|
two. Trees are really simple to make. We will look at two easy ones,
|
made with the characters:
