Hi everyone,
I've been intrigued by ASCII Art but couldn't think how
to start unil I saw a reference to this group a couple of
nights ago.
I've been looking at the examples posted and visited some
of the recommended sites.
Advice on sorting out my attempt at a Ddraig Goch (Welsh
Dragon) would be much appreciated.
There is a picture on my site
http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/ejones
The position of the tongue, rampant front claw and the over-
hand loop to the tail are essential.
This is my first attempt

I looked at the picture on your site and made these small adjustments that you may or may not agree with. (I shortened the body and head a little and moved the rampant leg one line down.
