I like the designs, never did watch all of the show. The OAV with the bath/palace place was nice.

The video was done on the UX21 Cintiq and was sped up 8x. I think of the hatching in 2 ways, 1) using it as a texture and as an indicator of volume and form, and 2) filling in spots that I would like to blacken in when inking. Both I lay down with intent. Many a HS student just throw in hatching just to quickly fill the space. But if you lay it down with a distinct intent, it will look more "professional".

I also try for an even tone, if I were penciling this traditionally, I'd be holding the pencil at a shallower angle using more of the lead surface to cover the area. But it's all about intentionally putting down your lines, whether it's shading or contours.
