The UNEXPECTED drawing skill I never knew I needed

by 02.23.2025

My video art diary of my work for my independent comic book, The Lucent. This comic book art is actually for my trading card set, available to order at thelucentcomic.com. In it I’m drawing something I need to draw a lot when making my comic, which is really small characters. It’s not something you expect or practise beforehand, but when drawing comics, you’re required to draw people at all scales, from the very large to very small. And while drawing characters at a small scale sounds like it should be easy, it comes with it’s own surprising challenges, which I outline in this video.

My name is Michael Bancroft and I’m an independent comic book writer and artist. If you’re a fan of the indies, or comic books in general, especially European and French-style Bande Desinnée, then please check out my channel. I want to make more original content based on my own work, so if you’re interested in this kind of video, please hit like, subscribe, and leave a comment.
