Character painting does not only refer to this kind of character painting. This kind of character painting is just a kind of character painting. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. 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 so that there is a more general Good standards and easy communication : : I think this is the same as outline painting This is a very special kind of outline painting because one character expresses a set of outlines. Instead of a set of characters as usual, a section of outline can be represented. : : Also, I don’t think he is the prototype of line drawing. : The earliest single-byte line drawing has a long history : I saw foreign works when my domestic university first got access to the Internet. : : Personally I think this is the case : The range of word selection for single-byte paintings is relatively limited. : Since bbs made the creation and circulation of double-byte works possible : The emergence of double-byte characters has greatly expanded the range of character selection for line drawings. : So many lines that originally needed to be formed between characters : Through clever word selection, it can be expressed within the characters : And the principle of finding space inside the character : As early as the period of single-byte line drawing, it was an important technical means and the joy of creation. In the single-byte era, this technique had a very narrow scope of application and was difficult to apply. But on the basis of double-byte, this technique can be put into good use. So I think double-byte paintings are very different from single-byte paintings in terms of style. : So I think this so-called character painting is the development of single-byte line drawing in terms of style and principle. 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 has developed from small double-byte paintings to today's line paintings. Early works like mock, dntx's Tsinghua University buildings and around's Xiamen University building 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
