drawing like shit, lesson I, or drawing ascii like boba fett, lesson I... Ok. Alot of people have been raving about my ascii although I am not quite surewhy. I figured I might as well show people what I'm thinking when I do it, or at least show them how I draw my shit... First, you start with the request, conveinient huh? Nuitari (Heartbreak Kid) requested this for his new bbs, The Dark Moon. Well, I like to find something that goes with the bbs. Since it is a Magic type bbs I decided to draw some- thing mideival looking. Before I get to that though, I want to address the font. The font doesn't have to be anything super spiffy if you can think of something else to make the whole thing look rad. Since I already had the idea I decided to do a simple font. I like lots of curves in my asciis. I like to do curves like this.  .a%!$$$Pı"^^^^^.ad$$$$$$$$Pı"^^^^^^^"ı4ba,.. ;l$$$$l; `,. ,d$$$$Pı"^^ ..,adı"^^^^^^^  `ı4$$$$ba,..... ,d$$$$$;`ııa,..

Thisis just an example of what I did. I usually put alot of goop and shit all in the font, but like I said I want to keep it simple so it doesn't detract from what else I am adding. After you do this, you see thing that will help, "morph," the font together in- stead of separating it. This font definitely is separated. It looks like thereis practically a blank line dividing the two words. The easiest way to resolve this is to try to merge the two fonts together. $$$$$$$$$$$$"""""""ııııı$$$$$$$$$$$$ gggg $$$$$$ $Pı"^" gggg ııııııgggg ıııı^^^^^"ı4 $$$$ $ııııı .a%!Pı4$$$$ .a%!Pı4$$$$ ggggPı"ı4%a. $$$$ $ gggg $$$$ $ $$$$ $$$$ $ $$$$ $$$l; l ıı$$ $$$$ P $$$$ IııI $ IııI IııI $ IııI IııI; l$$$aa IııI..d!%ı' i;;i $ i;;i i;;i $ i;;i i;;i $$$$$$$ i;;i"ı4!%a. $ii$ $ $ii$ $ii$ $ $ii$ $ii$ $$$$$$$ $ii$; ;$ii$ `ı%!bad$$$$.`ı%!bad$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$$$ $$$$ ,$$$$ gggg . ^^^^"ı4$aaa ^^^^"ı4 $$$$Pı4!%a.`4!%a. .a%!Pı4!%a.`ı4!%a. ggggPı4!%a. $$$$ $ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $ $$$$ b l$$$ $$$$ $ $$$$ IııI $ IIıı.
