Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Jul 31

Last day of the KS campaign for my latest comic, "11:11", with just 11 hours left to go on it!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ash...

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Jul 8

I've never run a Kickstarter campaign completely independently like this before, so any/all support, shares, etc., is hugely appreciated!! The campaign will end on July 31st at 10:30pm, so there's 23 days to raise the funds to get the comic printed... eee!! Exciting!!

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Jul 8

The comic I’m currently working on is ALMOST done 👀 I’m so excited to put it out into the world! watch this space for a KS/preorder announcement hopefully sometime next month!! This has been a pretty ambitious project for me, so I hope it lands with people the way I hope it will 🥲🤞

The penultimate episode of IT: Welcome to Derry was absolutely devastating, but also, I was so taken by Pennywises facial expressions that I had to draw some of them!! They reminded me of Chuck Jones for some reason... #Pennywise #ITWelcomeToDerry #AreHashtagsAThingOnBsky

I'm going to be at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social this weekend under @chipcollective.bsky.social! My friends and I have put together a wee free-to-participate stamp rally for the occasion, which I drew the stamp sheet for!! It is harvest festival/gourd themed for autumn 🍂🎃 Hope to see you there!!

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Oct 30

more previews of stuff i've been working on! i have to convince myself this project will be done in time for thoughtbubble in order to keep myself motivated to work on it... wish me luck (and delusional energy) :')

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Sep 14

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Jul 23

the autobioiest of autobio comic :) i drew this while tabling at a convention... idk if this grandma can hack 'em anymore 💀 (but she'll try) (don't worry) (in case you were concerned)

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Jul 22

neglected OC gang rise UP!! taking "kill your darlings" to the next level 😌🌺

A comic about considering what to draw.
Panel 1: A tired Ashling (that's me! the artist!) thinking, in a thought bubble, "I sure wish I had OCs to draw..."
Panel 2: Ashling closes her eyes as the ghosts of two of her long-neglected OCs float around her head.
Panel 3: Ashling opens her eyes again, thinking, "I guess I'll just have to draw myself..." as even more ghosts of her long-neglected OCs crowd around her head.

I've been trying to doodle for fun a bit more in my downtime, and honestly what's more fun than drawing shoujo-style manga girlies?? I think, deep in my heart, my inner child/14-year-old-self still yearns to create a manga... maybe one day...... 🍃

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Jul 18

Happy belated birthday @sajuca.bsky.social !! Here is my entry to Sara's #sajucadtiys6k 😄 Safiya was a lot of fun to draw! 💖 [repost bc I forgot to include the original artwork 🤦]

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Jul 15

The struggle is real 🥲 like if u cryed (this has been a daily issue while I’ve been in Brazil orz)

A comic about being bilingual! Panel 1: a person looking at the viewer smugly, with the caption “in theory” above her as she says, “Hello monolingual. I am fluent in Portuguese, therefore I understand Spanish, Italian and French as they share a latin base. I am better than you.” In both English and Portuguese. Panel 2: the same person scratching her head, wincing and sticking her tongue out as she thinks hard, with the caption “reality” above her, as she says, “umm.. how to say “hôtel” em inglês again..??”. Below the speechbubble is written in brackets, “(stupid in two languages)”.

What better time to update my pfp than on my birthday! (even though I've been using this picture for my pfp on discord and on my website for a couple of months already... shhh.....)

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Dec 31

back on my usual nonsense again

A friendly cartoon otter greets you. "Why hello there!", he says. "I'm the Life Insurance Otter!"

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Sep 16

I drew this comic the other night thinking “ha ha this is probably relatable ha ha”, then in the morning I realised it’s a bit more “sad” than “funny”… but I still like how I drew the expressions so 🤲 bon appetit 😌

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Sep 9

Some Elliots I drew recently from the hit new 20+ year-old series, Scrubs! I'd like to do character sheets for the rest of the crew too... maybe someday 👩‍⚕️🩻

Ashling Draws@ashlingdraws· Aug 25

Coming up to the start of the semester soon and this comic is feeling relevant again :')
