Visual Language - Studio Brief 1 - Set, Series, Sequence - Phillipe Grammaticopoulos

In these snapshots of his work, you can clearly see how Phillipe manipulates black ink to create a sense of depth. His sketchbook work tends to lean more towards concept design and storyboards.

Using monochrome tones creates clear imagery for artists to work from, and also sets the tone for the Animation/Illustration if clearly depicted that the dark tones is the style that is being aimed for.
