People have asked me how I draw ANSi. Is it coded? No, it's just like a typing a document with a text editor using special characters.
Here's a link to a youtube video with a quick example of how exactly ANSi is made.
Speed AnsiIt's sped up to be 10 times faster than real time so you won't have to watch me draw for 45 minutes and it's all done with the keyboard, typed, 1 block pixel at a time using the cursor keys to position the next block. I also use the mouse for color selection and editing, but it's nothing like photoshop.
Ansi is slow and tedious. It's not the kind of thing you can sit down and work on for 10 minutes and be done with it. It's not unusual to work on one piece for hours at a time. I hope to update this page with new art soon but I'm waiting until blocktronics releases.
