there isnt some magical technique to shading, it just takes practise.
shade with your mouse in shades of grey exactly like theyve done on the reference picture
zoom function would be your friend with this

i dont know if you have seen it on a tori yet so




maybe make the mouth smaller, teeth bigger and a little grin would be nice
My deviantART
so wut?
You might wanna try {This} method out for shading first. If you have Photoshop CS4 that is. Just add lighter/darker shades of the original color where they should be, in this case that would be a darker trim around the white parts.

I added a bit of shading but since i only have the 128x128 it's kind of dissapeared :|

How much would you say this would go for if I auctioned it off?
I'm saving up for the 512x512.
