When the general areas of light (#3) are blended with the general areas of shadow (#2), the halftone is created.

The halftone is where light and shadow meet. If they meet quickly (as on an edge), the halftone is narrow. If they meet slowly (as on a gentle curve), the halftone is wider.

I add more light (#4) which will be the highest light on the dog.

The highlights (#4) are added thickly within the area of general light (#3).

Note that absolutely NO highlight (#4) will ever creep into any halftone or shadow...
