In 1993, when I did effects animation on Demolition Man (Check this clip to see some of the animation I did with John Van Vliet and James Mansfield), I had to ink all my drawings with black pens so that high contrast elements for the optical printer could be created. I thought the drawings all filled in with black ink looked really cool!
Once in a while, I return to that technique, and start filling in my effects concepts with black ink so I can get a stark silhouette of the design. Here are samples from The Iron Giant and Osmosis Jones which I did while I was the leading FX designer at Warner Brothers Feature Animation.

Thanks for the blog! It's great to follow your work. As a sidenote, you can deep link into youtube videos. i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCagn9-OUQk#t=3m18s.
Thanks John for the tip. That's a really nice feature I wasn't aware of.
Consider it a small "thank you" for the inspiration of watching "Prelude to Eden" when I was taking Michael Nguyen's class at CalArts 11 years ago ;). Cheers!
