thx for the tips on shadeing,sal and anyone else who saved me while i was drawing. i couldn't decide on a black light or pink but chose pink because i thought that black light made her look like there was dirt on her or somethin'. well, tell me if it needs improvement. i still think that i should work more on the shading. ah, well. i still like my colouring. ^_^ oops! i forgot your other tip...

darker skin tones in stead of just the background painted on her face

ok well first to see something we need light. . pick a light source. and since you're most likely representing 3d objects, try to picture them that way. then think of how the light hits those 3d objects. if it helps any, make a pre-sketch and map out where light hits. in a pic theres gunna be a highlight, a lighter area, a neutral, an area with no light at all, and reflections/shadows. so theres a lot to consider, but doing only the basics first can get you pretty far.
