What 10 Years of Daily Art Taught Me About Self Doubt

by 02.12.2025

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 digitally drawing Jude, an original character from my story, as I reflect on my artistic journey, and how I came to the realisation that you don’t have to be the best artist in the world to post process videos of your work. Understanding that art is subjective anyway, and that making art not a zero-sum game, allowed me to get build the confidence to put my work in progress onto the internet for all to see and criticise.

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.
