Wowy-zowy! My first personal fundraiser! Check it out at

Ashley's quest for a real tablet.



As some of you may know, I've only ever had a 4x5" (more like 3x5") Wacom Graphire tablet. Gosh I don't think they even make them anymore! The further I get into my comics making career I need to be able to work faster and produce high quality stuff. Not very easy when your workspace is about the size of a notecard and you're trying to recreate the Mona Lisa. I'm like a cro-magnon without fire. *sniff* Help me fan the flames and restore my passion for art. Help me raise enough money to give me the right tools to do this!  Every penny counts, and many hands make light work. Please, PLEASE!

Greetings, Ashley! :)

I was analyzing the pages of your comics, and I was struck by the way in which they are made. Are they completely made ​​in pencil? I assume you've used the levels tool in photoshop or something similar to made them look this way. It seems you don´t use ink in any case. If so, have you had any problems when they were published physically?
Sorry for the questions, but I wonder how your pages are made :S

By the way, thanks you for sharing your art! ^ ^

You're absolutely right, those are in pencil. :)

Claudia's Story was a full-color novel so the printing was done differently. Most printed books are done in inks with halftones because you're only dealing with two values instead of RGB. Color printing picks up more values than black and white (which is just straight black OR white). I don't know how it was officially done, I'm just going off of my experience with printing since my Dad owns a print shop.

Ok, so Claudia's Story was made in pencil but published in color...

Reign of Adeodatus was made in pencil, too?

But, have you ever published a comic, done with your technique in pencil, that was not published in color?

Sorry for so many questions, but I need to know :SS

Not a problem. I love answering questions about this stuff, if it's in any way helpful.

RoA alternated between pencil and ink. Belfry Twins was done in pencil and watercolor. I think that book was printed in grayscale actually.

I suppose you could print a comic that's drawn in pencil, in black and white. You might lose some of the tone unless the levels are adjusted enough to fit the B/W specs. But really... you can do just about anything with printing these days. Did you have a specific problem you're struggling with? ;)
