Tools for pasting clip-art *with appropriate 'hidden-line removal'*
do not exist, so one must settle, for now, for a word processor with
rectangular cut and paste. (Nisus on the Mac, MS Word in recent
upgrades?)
The animation sample at the beginning of this FAQ uses mostly
linedraw, but also a bit of greyscale in the foreground (darker
lineweight) and in the far-background (lighter weight). *Greyscale
ascii art normally assumes you're displaying dark letters on a light
background*. This won't be true for many pc-monochrome monitors.
(Here's a page, again. Notice also how a degree of 'random noise'
adds to the sense of realism, like avoiding using too-straight lines
or too-symmetrical shapes.)

ASCII fonts (linedraw)
************************
Here's some ascii fonts that use only the linedraw palette. (I'd
like to collect full alphabets for these.) Notice that they all use
the underscore for the topline of the letters, so an almost-full
line of blank must be left above them:
