I can only shade in real life,
online I suck, so I don't draw, xD
Though like Guardian said, you need to vary your color.
A light color would be more expose to the direction of your light source of your picture. [Your sun, moon, lights, etc..]
Whilst you would have to use a dark color to those areas non-exposed to the light source, or farther away.
As you travel from the most light on your animal/human to the spot with hardly or no light, you would have to make it darker.
Though make sure that you don't glob it all, make it smooth, stroking movements, and so it looks like it's naturally transferring from a light color to a dark color.
I'm sorry if that isn't a good description. xD
