How can I farm and pressure at the same time?

As a top lane main, I know that top laners are supposed to be able to have extremely high farm and also be able to harass the opponent as much as possible to win the most isolated lane on the map, but I swear every game I play I will either be way ahead in farm with no kills or lane pressure, have kills and lane pressure but somehow even in farm, or just straight up behind. I feel like if I learn how to cs effectively and be able to cause lane pressure I could help my team out much more and obviously be a much better player. The issue is I don't really know how to do it. Any tips?

It depends on the champion.

Usually, top lane auto attacks minions or uses some direct target abilities to clear, and uses aoe/gap closes to harass.

But, others use Aoe to clear and use auto attacks and direct target to harass.

it really depends on the champ.

But I can give you a couple potent examples:

The goal of this lane is to hit E's, and pull the champion's soul between your wall tentacles, and a minion wave. If you do this, You can target the Spirit, and the tentacle will hit both the spirit PLUS the minions, killing a wave and damaging the champ.
Generally farms using his W, which is a low cooldown attack steroid. Single target. He sometimes will use Q to farm, but usually it's a followup for using his E to pull.
