· 1 message · 18 Jul 1998
Hi,
I've just done the next Face. First time i've realised what i've planed,
since i've started the play with ASCII art. This is great day for me.
(Ups, my ego). The other nice think is that there are the main stages
of work successfully beckuped. Here, they are. I hope that you find
useful such a post.
Please, post any technical and critical comments. I need it.
I've done some lessons. Your hint should help find next one.
(Great thanx to llizard for the line length suggestion.)

Ugly, aren't you. There are the most important lines which are base
of the picture. Trying to "hear their scream" it is whole idea.
The task is to keep their rap.

Texture of hair is quite simple. But it is important part of the
picture. A few lines are shaded to keep the balance during texturing.
