| 4 | +> Step one to learning any skill is always: _**"Study The Masters"**_ |
| 5 | +
|
| 6 | +**teXt0wnz** contains a built in library of ANSI drawing tutorials. The tutorials section contains 22 hand-collected works spanning decades of the scene. Each entry showcases unique techniques, styles, and the vision of a talented artist. I spent hours combing through the 16colors archives to pick the ones i felt best expressed the basics of this art-form. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +The tutorials themselves are just normal ANSI art files. Viewing a tutorial simply opens the file in the editor. This allows you to test the techniques and play around with the samples in their native context. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +Each entry contains artist and release information linking back to their original sources for further exploration |

| 23 | +> |
| 24 | +> Multi people over the years have expressed a desire to drawn ANSI/ASCII artwork. But the lack of formal educational materials is intimidating to many people. I want to empower artists with the tools and information they need to grow, experiment, create. |
