How to hatch with a pencil properly?

@94andreev11
1. How should I hold my pencil when hatching?
2. How sharp should my pencil be?
3. While hatching, I feel like my lines are blending together. Especially when the pencil is dull. Is this how it's supposed to be?

This is what you should do:
+use your middile finger and forefinger to hold the pencil's body.
+put the pencil's tail between the forefinger and the thumb as a fulcrum.
+while hatching, only use middle finger and forefinger to move the pencil.
+when your pencil is dull, sharpen it immediately, and remember to do it more often. (1cm is sharp enough)
+try to practice it 15m per day.
+if you are hatching on big area, hold it by the whole hand and use force from your wrist( 3rd pic)
