Yes. (Also my reply is uncomplete :b)I look at your gallery and actually your shading isn't that bad as you think. Just make it clear where the light source it. Also the lighting/shading color must blend with the background or else your character will look like not fit in.Since your background are mostly dark color. Just use a multiply layer and air brush your character with dark color too.(purple is nice)like this rooki-once-more.deviantart.com… but really. That effect, I just add a new overlay layer and airbrush yellow all over the whales :3
