However, it is a matter of personal taste as to how you want to create the ASCII art for shading -- I've seen it both ways... black on white and white w/dark background for shading.

More made: surely black on white, these days, as most computers come preset to this "paper emulation" combination, and most people do not bother changing it (usually never used the oposite). Of course any old frat (like me) will tell you that the real way to set a computer screen can only ever be black background, with an choice of white/green/orange for text, depending on what tradition one comes from. Funny enough I prefer green (IBMer), despite being a DECer (orange). Hmmm, I wonder how many people today even know what DEC was, I am starting to feel old. > I'm confused while drawing things > which hava a lot of shading. (I use white on black : Text mode).
