~Any tips for colouring/shading?
my advice if you are doing the shadowing on the computer and using a program that has layers draw your shadows out in black, grey, white first and have highlights and shadows onto different layers and if you can help it even mid tones on another layer so you can always go back and edit then you add the colour over the top of your shadowing

my tips for colouring pencil especially by hand start with your lightest colour and work to dark and you should never use a made black make your own using red, yellow and blue. if I'm using my advice from my teacher you should never use a made Brown either but I don't follow that rule so I don't expect you to either
