A most excellent book breaking that down from a look dev perspective, with artists actually breaking down their process.

I would look at books on film making for composition tips, cinematography for lighting etc. there is a ton of good youtube content on it too, like the every frame a painting channel.

this guy has some great ones as well.

"Dream Worlds: Production Design for Animation" by Hans Bacher is a favourite of mine.

Theres a ton of great reading material linked on that thread.
