Hatching and crosshatching are used to create shadows and textures, adding depth to the artwork. Practice creating consistent lines and varying the density of the hatching to control the shadow's darkness. Screentones, if used, are typically applied digitally or with pre-printed sheets, after the inking is completed. Carefully plan where these are to be placed before inking the linework.
