Ascii scene ... How do I love you madly! Perhaps you like no 
other scene could have arisen as early germinate squalid the 
grain of the first computers and a beautiful flower, purple and 
yellow flower with soft petals on modern computers. You managed 
to survive the years, while remaining itself, remaining 
faithful to its traditions. 

Thousands of people around the world spend hours and days for 
all sorts of ascii text and editors, they are just as artists, 
musicians and coders live their lives, feel like, going 
through. They are also struggling with depression and celebrate 
in loneliness his eighteenth birthday. Sometimes they are funny

guys painting in on occasion, leading the amazing active
lifestyle, playing in the scene, rather than living it, 
thinking only for a moment something that dedicated to his time 
in life, while remaining that these elite ascii-artists and 
understanding in the scene in hundreds of times more than the 
young zaznayki who think they are gods. 

Asci draw - that's fine. This fascinating, shocking herself
the idea of creating art that can touch the soul, in simple 
text editors. Askey draw interesting and fun, sometimes boring 
and unbearably hard, but when you look at the result, when 
people write letters and thank for the work, when you yourself 
feel intolerable stream of joy, rushing quickly from your 
computer to the monitor from CRT to the retina of the eye from 
the eye to the farthest piece of the brain responsible for 
pleasure, you forget everything in the light, and it does not 
matter how long you're staring at a monitor and how difficult 
dalas you this picture. You love. 

Probably to do askami, they really have to love it. Otherwise, 
just not interested. I guess it was sparing of words and my 
story in the first issue produced no impression on you. Sorry, 
that was my mistake. I could not tell you about ascii-stage so 
that you love her, I could not bring to you that shred of 
information, which owned. My tutorial was simply terrible! 
Sorry, I wrote to him even knowing little ascii-scene still not 
seeing these works. Today I will try to fix error. So.



            ... Ascii scene, immersing the second ...

Thinking that the best time to paint, gave himself up to his 
heart and desire. It is not necessary to draw asci under the 
order, and most likely as a result you will not get the work 
that will be remember many months stsenovoy life. Of course, if 
the order coincides with the desire, then draw you simply must!


First of all, find out ascii-scene. We can not show it to you
whole, will lack any drive with hundreds of art pekami nor 
Spectrum in principle. If you have no home pc / amiga, then go 
to a friend or computer class at school or university. Razdobud 
as possible more art pekov the best and most famous teams, read 
as can be more tutorials and talk with experienced asci-artists.

The main thing - to see what others are doing, it is important 
to study the work best, and these works you should be very much.


Do you think I could reach that, if not this too high by the 
standards of ascii-scenes on the pc, but all the same level as 
in varyas own juice, and swimming at the bottom of the 
Spectrum, with its lamerskimi in Basically, crafts block-ascii? 
I will reveal you a secret ... At first I was a very bad 
asci-artist, I've only seen Spectrum asci and my understanding 
of the Askey-stage were related. Then I saw three art-Peck on 
the pc and found out about newskool'e, painted a somewhat 
mediocre works and even wrote a tutorial. Only after that I 
broke into a large asci scene, found the address the Internet 
and was able to watch peki. More than one hundred and fifty. 
More 150 Art pekov I managed to download and view. More than 
150 artpekov I absorbed like a sponge, leaving only their 
impressions of the best works and then trying to draw something 
different. Important detail - paint it their own. Watch peki 
not mean to repeat the pattern seen in their! I do not know the 
exact recipe, but and no one knows, probably, but for myself I 
have learned: leave feelings and impressions. No need to 
memorize the details of the font tag - caught the style. No 
need to redraw the facial expressions - to catch mood and 
feelings. Do not imitate one-to-one advice from the tutorials - 
mastered the technique, but the idea works invent itself. After 
draw their asci - much more interesting than other people, 
agree? 

Now I will not explain to you in detail the process of drawing 
in Basically he is almost fully described in my first article, 
I just touch on some points of principle, in my opinion, for

Novice asci-artist.

. The first part

Getting to the drawing, not when it is necessary, but if you 
want. Yes, I agree, if you are a famous actor and you have many 
orders, you have to draw and without desire, but ... Yet, if 
there is a possibility - Wait inspiration. You know, I have a 
often happened: I sit up after midnight, doing something 
totally unreal, read newspapers, write letters, and suddenly - 
bah! - The idea Rushed in my brain, my fingers found themselves 
modern and began to paint. For the first hourly draw almost 
entirely graphic, with no details, only based on an outline. 
Then begin to flatten, to provide all sorts of little things, 
looking for what parts can and should add ... In general, while 
I do not finish the work, to sleep - do not lie, because I just 
can not. But it's nice to get up in the morning and smile at 
what you navayal last night! * Smile * Just a desire to create 
something yet.


. Style

What style of painting? Nobody will give you advice. Try 
everything and then determine. But everything here depends on 
the orders: rather often people need to diz'y oldskool'e, logs 
in the block-ascii for ftp, newskool design for the info for 
Deme ... That is, I think that need to learn to paint in all 
styles, and even for myself to choose my favorite. For me, it 
newskool, he bought me with his immensity and beauty. It can 
draw almost everything, and when good skills the result is 
stunning. In newskool you can draw a face using a gentle light 
and shadow. Of course, in block-ascii you can draw a face, but 
agreed that 255 characters for the gradation is much better 
than 10. 

. Time

How long can learn to draw asci? Yes, but compared to 
pikselingom - quickly, in comparison with the coding - very 
quickly. First always or almost always turns out badly, and 
that's fine. Over time you learn the technique of drawing and 
has focused on the idea. At least that's what I had: the first 
work were with stupid ideas and bad aliasing (smoothing), then 
I decided to learn technique, and drew anything important - 
smoothing out everything as best we can. When I was at a 
sufficient level mastered the technique, I stopped paying 
attention to it, good shape and smooth anti-aliasing was not a 
plus of work - it is now norm. This allows you to draw without 
hesitation, without slowing myself such things. Give yourself 
an idea! 

. Von

We think over their work. Starting with the main theme and 
ending with backgrounds. Background! This is a very important 
detail. In principle, given the adjacent area pikselinga and 
asci-scenes artists understand the importance of the 
background. Good, nezaezzhenny background will always do your 
best now. It is important not to focus on one type of 
background, no matter how well he does not was. Recalling his 
last tutorial, I noticed a mistake. There I said that the 
background is important and that "I recently Like the 
background of all possible frames. "Forget it, pretending I did 
not say, and you - do not read! Yes, the frames are good once, 
well, two ... But when all your work will be the background of 
":" And "." Then honestly - erupts. First and foremost, you 
yourself, in fact draw the same from work to work - really 
soars. In general, as was always given to the idea and do it. 

. End

Thanks to everyone who helped me become such asci-artist, as I
was. Thanks primarily to the Askey-teams, which showed what and 
how to draw. Mimic, secular, remorse, galza, impure, karma, 
odelay ... By the way, in your place I would remember those 
names and immediately after reading the whole [krika2 ran would 
'Net and download all their peki with mimic.ca, for example. 
There is a section - archive, it is a lot of good asci. Or a 
radical solution: Go to thuglife.org, this resource is as 
interesting for askitista as gfxzone.org for pikselera. 

Thank _zmej for what finally helped me to form
look at the asci scene for what revealed the secret - "splints 
suck" - and that identified the main idea for a beginner - look 
and learn ". 

Thanks cool girl bjork, which caressed my soul in
While writing this article. Bjork, you rocks!

Thank you for that read to the end. Love asci scene, and she
answer you the same. Good luck!
