How to Draw 101:

So what are all these fancy pictures? How does this all work? Where do I even begin?

All good questions. Drawing on these forums can be tricky and there are many different ways to go about it; however, with a little guidance it can be quite easy, not to mention fun!

Let's start with the basics. There are two kinds of art: aligned and unaligned. Aligned uses characters that are the exact same width and uses the underscore _ as a space. However, this is seldom used anymore as the current font does not have many symbols of the same width.

Aligned normally looks something like this:

r

#___ # ___#
##_###_##
#########
#########

Therefore I will focus on the more used style, unaligned. Unaligned art uses practically any symbol, generally the thinner ones. Although some of these symbols can be found on the keyboard, many are entered using Alt-Codes. However, for your convenience I will put a list of commonly used symbols which you can copy and paste. It uses periods as a space, because the RSOF do not allow for there to be multiple spaces in a row. If you attempt to press the space bar multiple times in a row, when you post your message only one space will be shown.

Unaligned looks something like this:

¸· ´' ·¸ . . , ', . . .,’`-, . .,';
;' . . . . ',·´. . ',¸ ’ . . . `,’ .;
; . . . . . . . . . .‘' . . . . . . .·;
'.,¸¸¸·¸¸¸,¸¸¸'¸¸¸‘¸¸¸,.'

***Tips***

The elipsis (…) (Alt+0133) is the same length as three periods and can be used to limit the number of characters you use.

Censor giving you trouble? Try putting in an 'r'

Make sure you have Num-Lock on
