My video art diary of my work for my independent comic book, The Lucent. Every piece of art I make for my comic utilises masks, from inks, to every aspect of the colours, including shadows, highlights and extra lighting effects. Masks are so powerful because they’re easily editable, ‘non-destructive’ and can be layered on top of each other to create effects that would not be possible were you to only ever brush directly onto a layer.

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.
