You are right it takes a precise hand. But it is all based on light and shadow as well as how much geometric line you want and general outline ... and where the light is coming from. For Noir ... you want an IBL and either a spot light or an infinite light. You don't need more lights than that. Then tweak intensity, position of lights and the comic settings. Once you have a set of lightings you like, save them and label them for future use. Note the comic settings and save a blank scene in your library with all the settings you want to bring in your characters and props. This will help streamline your workflow and you don't have to start from scratch every time. Have fun!!

Thanks, Boni. Good tips on workflow!
