Nothing to it, see? It really does look like a door. Just don't
try to open it, or you'll smear fingerprints on your monitor.
Don't feel obligated to use the same characters I do. Could you
think of ones that might make suitable replacements? Or ones that
might work better? Look at these versions of the same door:

make a door, or anything else. Use whatever you find most

Believe me, you WILL discover new ways of making things!
We started out with simple automobiles, tossing in a few
more complicated ones. None of them were terribly difficult,
however. Neither are any of the other objects we moved along
to. You don't need to be an artist to draw with text-art, as
I'm sure you're beginning to realize.
So far, however, all these pictures are reasonably angular.
Here's an example of the kind of picture that often confuses
beginner text-artists:
