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 going through my thought process behind why I chose to handle an array of CCTV security cameras as part of the colouring process, rather than the drawing process. I explain why it would be counterproductive to draw in such tiny little details, and how I used the Photoshop Smart Blur filter to marry the raw images to something that doesn’t look out of place on the page.

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.
