The rendering of the press starts by doing an outline of the press and filling in the dark areas with solid blocks of black ink. This defines the shape and the lightest and darkest areas of the press. Next, use the technical pen to put in, evenly spaced parallel lines in the areas with a 20 to 60 percent tonal value. Finish the press by making the parallel lines thicker and thinner (thicker in darker areas and thinner in lighter areas) and scratching detail into the solid black areas.
