HAHA. No foot stomping. I just put comments on your other pics, go read those and then come back to this one. Now, you have already made some progress. You have a light source (an obvious one) and you made some highlights hitting her hair. Youve got the idea. Except since it's coming from behind her we cant do much with that. If we pretend its coming more from the left, you can add some highlights to the left side of the picture (her right side) try highlighting that side of her face, arm and her dress, graduating the color value to lighter the closer it is to the light source. Just keep working at it! : )

i agree with archer..good idea..light source..improvement...etc. pehaps you should start off with some inanimate objects. or just faces...and make your canvas bigger so you arent trying to squeeeeeeze all this detail in.

This seems really obvious, but the most "smack your forehead duh" kind of good advice that helped me with shading was to "make your darks darker and your lights lighter". The higher the contrast between the light and the dark, the more 3d a picture looks. ^^

Yes, Dixie! Both of the above great advice! Read and heed... :)
