Let's put it this way... For beginners I should have made a lot of progress after getting started with the mat drawing method. I also spent time groping on it. Yeah... this is a good exercise for grasping proportions... This is also what I personally gain from this... You can look at the picture and draw out the proportions that you think are appropriate. I can’t say that the proportions you draw are perfect ^^" However... if you rely too much... on the other hand, your progress will be limited... So... if you are not satisfied with the proportion of your work... or you are new to ASCII but you are frustrated and have difficulty getting started. Go practice it... it should be really rewarding... And have been relying on it... I think... The novelty and admiration of the pictures painted by such an artist may disappear after a long time @@a After that, it depends on your preference to explore in many aspects and give up the background map... This is my personal opinion: It’s hard for me to explain clearly at the moment... Maybe I’m not good at words :Q Anyway... Everyone, maybe you can start researching color block diagrams in this aspect... ^ ^ Mentioned in starmoonh’s masterpiece: Missing My Husband: : That’s much more convenient than visual inspection str,str
