front door
Perhaps you are wondering what's going on here, with all these
new and different pictures I am throwing at you. Just what is it
that I am doing, and how am I making all of these?
I'm really not doing anything except "outlining" simple objects
with text. Try this: look at an object in the room. A clock, a book;
even your computer screen. Outline the thing. You probably won't need
more than the _ and | characters, to start with. Once you have the
basic shape, you can go back and add other details; if you think it
needs them. Often, your first text-art picture of something may look
too simple, or just plain bad. Don't give up on it! All that it may need
is just a detail or two. Imagine that front door above, without the knob
or inset panels. It would be nothing but a box, right? But by filling in
those details, it looks like a door. Let's make a new one, together...
