Batman: The Animated Series
Batman: The Animated Series is one of the most important animated series to use the backgrounds as it's storytelling. This series uses all black cards to do it's backgrounds on, and uses pastel over the top for every scene, completely hand drawn. The importance of using black card instead of white, is it sets the entire tone for the series.
As we can see here, the darkness of the image is clear, and that is because the black comes first, and then is worked backwards in order to create the light areas, which highlights the scene and creates a reference point for where the scene is going to go. As well as this, it creates a real depth to the entire scene and really drives home a sense of scale in which to work off of.
