This kind of character painting is just a kind of character painting. : Of course, this is just my personal view. For a long time, there has not been a generally accepted view of these terms. : That’s why I want everyone to discuss the classification of asciiart in order to have a more general : Good standards and easy communication : This is a very special kind of outline drawing because one character expresses a set of outlines. : Instead of a group of characters as usual, a section of outline can be expressed. : In the single-byte era, this technique had a very narrow scope of application and was difficult to apply. In the single-byte era, that was a lot. In fact, many examples are about finding space within characters. For example, novices who draw single-byte paintings often only use 9 This is the only way to draw a garden Veterans are good at using different characters in different internal positions... You can draw an arc inside a line. This is an example of space inside a character. In addition, it is common to use characters such as < L to draw corners and rounded corners, and @ e to draw eyes. It also uses the shape inside the character. This is essentially no different from the duck above. In addition, when it comes to bitmap painting, the same principle of "internal character" is used. A typical example is the Disney character series. Draw a slash. It must look like this. @@@@@Pd@@ @@@@Pd@@@ @@@Pd@@@@ In fact, there are no empty cells in it, but using the difference in density between the upper and lower parts of P d, a diagonal line is drawn. With this method, you can even draw eyes and other facial features in a small space. These are all examples of using the internal space of characters in the single-byte era. Without these techniques, a painting would have to be very large to express it. I think dot matrix painting is the prototype of today's color block painting. : This technique can be put to good use only on the basis of double bytes. : So I think double-byte paintings are very different from single-byte paintings in terms of style. : I think we can use the principle of "finding space inside the characters" you mentioned to subdivide line drawings into two categories. : The first type basically does not use "internal principles" and develops from single-byte drawing to the early stage of line drawing. : The other type uses "internal principles" and develops from small double-byte paintings to today's line paintings. : Like mock's early works, dntx's Tsinghua University architecture and around's Xiamen University architecture series are representatives of the early stage of line drawing. : Iamppkl’s mm series and flubber’s shooters are the representatives of today’s line drawings : Of course, there are inextricably linked relationships between the four of them. I can’t tell the difference anymore hehe :
