In the novel The Invention of Hugo thoroughness, the drawing style is mainly charcoal pencil; lead. I believe the purpose for this particular style (not as well known in graphic novels) is for the reader to be more attentive on the detail of the picture and have it become more vivid not just through the grammatical phrasing, but for the drawings as well, to get a feel as to what is occurring throughout the story line. Black and white is simple but yet drastic in its usage of measurement for each of the illustrations. The author of this novel used very realistic yet animated creativity to set the tone quality for each aspect of the story. the style of drawings do not really change, when the author wants you to really focus on a crucial factor of the book, he will enhance/zoom the drawing so it is a close up image. when it is a general statement describing a characteristic for example, there will be a variety of features in the picture to grasp the main idea and or outlook on the setting, time n place. often you see the picture being sketched over with lines and a lot of shading as a form of deepening the tones and mood of the character's features. Not only do the techniques open your eyes in to the drastic detail these sketches/drawings show; therefore specifying the Cabaret to the actual story that you may have passed over if it were just words you were reading, not a picture.
