ahem. first you need to decide where the light source(s) is. then you darken the sides of the objects that aren't in contact with the light source. A relatively easy lighting solution is to simply imagine that the light is on the right or left only. then you can simply darken in the left side of each part (individually) of the object. It can be tricky, because you might have to think in 3-D. i don't know how far along you are in art classes, but you could always turn down the lights, grab a flashlight or lighter, and hold it up to carious objects to see how the shading appears. good luck

yeah, your light source is a little skewed, but I like this a lot! :) The shoulders seem a liiitle small, but maybe that's because he's emaciated (being poor and everything). I like the tint of green (it's just a tint) he has to him...and the blue of his hair. and his right cheek (our left) is shaded SO beautifully.....awww...makes him so pretty.

His skin is a bit . . . odd. It makes him look kinda like an alien (The blue hair kinda helps too) And I thought I should point out the random pink splotches. I don't mean the halo, I mean the weirded ones that don't seem to have a purpose. I won't ask for another edit though, You've done so many already. (well, 4, but still.)
