The best way to learn is just to have a go at it. Practice copying some simple shapes or pictures, and you'll pick up the techniques for line drawing. Shading is a bit more difficult - you could try looking at the output from image to ascii converters for some examples. There are some tips in the ascii-art FAQ, on Andreas Freise's site <http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/faq.html> . There's also a vast archive of pictures there if you need inspiration. It's also worth trying out JavE <http://www.jave.de/> - it has some very useful features, especially if you're unexperienced with making ascii-art by hand. Why not post the artwork you've done to the group? There are lots of regulars who'll give you tips (some less useful than others; *cough* drsquare *cough*) Hope this helps. -- Harry Mason ("hjm200.ecs@soton@ac@uk" =~ tr/@./.@/)
