How to Create ASCII ARTs?

When it comes to doing something there are at least two ways to do it... That is the easy way and the hard way... Even the life is also like that... The same principle is true for the ASCII arts too. It is also having a hard way and a easy way!!!.


The hard way is doing the thing manually. Either we can start from the scratch or edit an existing one using a simple text editor like gedit or notepad. It is good to choose a text editor which offer multiple undoings. Mainly there are two types of ASCII arts we can create. Filled arts and not filled or lined arts.
