Laundry time has taken a backseat to ASCII art { '-`""""`-' }
|
time. ASCII art is a hobby-- most people have `"/ \"`
|
hobbies. ASCII art is mine. Usually I create this \ /
|
ASCII art late at night when the kids have gone to _/ /\ \_
|
bed. I try not to spend my life in front of the j { / \ }
|
computer. Really! `"` `"`

Punch Art is not as hard as you would think if you prepare your canvas
|
first. Here are some tips that might help.
|
1. I start my canvas by selecting this topic from aladdins j
|
screen and selecting R to reply.
|
2. When the reply screen is open I draw a line from the left
|
boarder to one space from the right boarder.
|
3. Then I hit return 20 times and draw another line at the
|
bottem of the screen.
|
(like so)
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
(press return) { use the space bar to move the cursor to here !)
|
(press return)
|
(repeat above 20 times) (you are doing this because the cursor
|
can not be moved where it has never
|
been before.)
|
(bottom line)
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
4. Then I return the cursor to the first line and use the
|
space bar to move the cursor to one space from the end of the line.
|
5. I use the arrow key to move the cursor down to the next
|
line. It will automatically go to the beginning of the line. I then
|
use the space bar to move it to one space from the end of the line.
|
6. I repeat this until I reach the line I drew at the bottom
|
of the canvas.
|
Once this is done your canvas is ready. You can now use the arrow
|
keys to move your cursor anywhere you want and you are ready to
|
begin your drawing.
|
7. To draw on the canvas, I press the insert key to go into
|
typeover mode. This is important so that when you enter characters,
|
your cusor does not insert spaces.
|
8. If you make a mistake and want to erase a character just
|
use the arrow key to move the cursor back to the character and use
|
your space bar to erase it. (Do not use the backspace key or the
|
delete key to correct mistakes. They will change the spacing)

TIPS
|
If you are drawing an animal or a person, start with the eyes then
|
the nose and the mouth. Then draw the head. You will be able to
|
judge the size the body needs to be from the head.
|
Get familiar with the position of the following keys on the screen.
|
[ ] ( ) . ` , ' ; : \ / | " ^ < > - _ = ! ~
|
Notice that they have all been typed on the same line, however they
|
are positioned at different hights. You can use combinations of
|
these keys to draw angles, slants, and sometimes circles.
|
\ / \_ `-._ (increasing the
|
\ / \_ `-._ amount of the _
|
\ / \ can change the
|
angle.)
