Hello!
Today I tried to draw something in ascii, I never did it before so I
just did some experimenting. These are the results (the ones that can
be shown at least).

...as you see, I'm of the minimalist kind ;)
Most of them appeared "by accident". Except of the face of Takuya
(he's the guitar of the japanese band Judy and Mary, if you wonder),
which i tried to copy it from a magazine.

Any comments would be appreciated.

I enjoyed them, they're most likely better than anything I could do, some of
them I did not really see until you explained, (suck as the kid on the bike,
with a basket) once I saw it, it looked really good too.

I also am very new at ascii, but these really appeal to me.

Amost looks like a ballerina (at practice, aka without his/her tutu - just a
body suit or something:)

Hmm... almost looks like a 3d coffee cup :)

Looks like a "friggin minigun!" (to quote one of the many doomed people in
Terminator 2...)
