Here's one :

PS: Ok, or maybe this one :
        ._____.
     .-'       '-.
   ./             \.
  /                 \
 |                   |
(                     )
 |                   |
  \.               ./ 
    \._         _./
       '._____.'

Mhhh.. it's a difficult problem, no ?

Read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) from
www.ascii-art.com

Something like this, it could be lot better, but I was in a hurry:
     ___
  .-'   '-.
 '         '

 '._     _.'

The _first_ thing you should do is to make sure you are using a
monospaced font.

The _second_ thing you should do is to make sure there are no tabs in
your picture.

THEN we can start talking about details like how to make circles...

OK, lets get to the fun part:

First learn how to make different lines:


 |   J
 |  F  J
 |  |  F /     /
 |  | J  |    /         .'
 |  F F /    /        .'
 | J J  |   /       .'
 | | F /   /      .'
 |  J  |  /     .'      .-
 |  F /  /    .'     .-'
 | J  | /   .'    .-'
 | F / /  .'   .-'    _.-'
    /   .'  .-'   _.-'
      .' .-'  _.-'      __
      .-' _.-'    __.--'
      _.-'  __.--'
      __.--'    ____.----'
      ____.----'
      --------------------
      ____________________
                          `-----.________
                                         `---------.___
Then take many small line segments and connect them:   )
                                                      /
                      ______________________________.'
            ____.----'
        _.-'
     .-'
   .'                                      _.--------._
  /                                     .-'            `-.
 (                                    .'                  `-._______
  `._                                    to make rounded shapes...  )
     `------------.________________________________.---------------'


After that: practice! practice! PRACTICE!!!!!!   :-)

Please read the FAQ, which will explain some drawing techniques (including
circles) and also contains some information about fonts and tabs, which you
should read.

Since you are a hotmail user, I can't determine your nearest mirror of the
ASCIIArt Documents Archive, so here - use mine:

http://website.lineone.net/~martin.atkins/ada/

Just click on the link to the FAQ, at the top of the list. The HTML version
doesn't exist yet, so go with the plain text for now.

You can also find some other interesting information there, written by
different people who have frequented the newsgroup past and present.

Hope this helps,
-Martin

I wasn't able to see that the question was already answered before me...
Seems like some messages arrive the next day after they've been posted,
even if I reload.

Nahhh if it was a rugby ball it would have the stitches on,
and you would be able to see the joins in the leather.

Its definately a Lemon.

But lemons have tiny little dots on them, and they're yellow. This thing
is pink.
