Most people "just look and draw"; also doodle around, modify existing drawings, and copy parts/techniques from them. Very large complicated asciis may have started life as a photograph or original pencil drawing put under a "grid" and redrawn as ascii (unfortunately, just converting grey scale values into different shades won't give you prposefully drawn shapes and edges: you end up redrawing the ascii from scratch traced over the old drawing). @@@ @@@ @("} {")@ @(.(.)\__ __/(.).)@ @@@) ( """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" ) (@@@ ( . ) dave@xemu.demon.co.uk ( . ) \ ) / http://www.xemu.demon.co.uk \ ( / \\.-' ,' /index.html ', `-_// // ~-~ """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" '~ \\ / \ "Consciousness is a product of the brain no more & no less than earwax is a product of the ear"-Martin Hunt on a.r.s
