There is basically 2 types of hatching, there is just hatching and there is cross hatching cross hatching is //\\\ over lapping each other. Hatching mostly used for shadows.

I suck at hatching; never could do it well. That in mind, it's a good idea to try to have your hatch marks follow the form of the object. For example, if the object is a ball, you'll want your marks to suggest the roundness of it. It helps add dimensionality.

Well.. I've been told that I'm decent at it.. and I didn't even realize I was doing it...

But what I did was just imagine the shape of the object I'm shading and then just draw lines that reflect that shape... then I switch up the direction of the strokes.. and repeat, darkening in areas and whatnot.

I hope that is helpful..
