My video art diary of my work for my independent comic book, The Lucent. This comic book art is the first page of my upcoming book, Fractured Mind. In it, I’m coloring a page of Rod Luper’s art, depicting my protagonist Ella leaping across the page, high above a city scape drawn in 3-point perspective. I show how I use shadows and layering of light elements on top of each other to build up the drama of the art, and also use it to separate the character from the background below.

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.
