You've asked for help with the shading in this drawing. Personally I think you've got a good start here. The most helpful thing, when it comes to lighting and shading is to know what the shapes are, and how they create shadows. If you're stuck try some practice sketches of shapes... spheres, cylinders, cubes, etc. You already seem to have a good idea of where the light is coming from, and how thes shapes might cast shadows.
Experiment with different angles of light, as well. Rather than having the light coming from directly above and in front, try to the side, or from the back!
I think the shading on the skin is well done, but you could definitely benefit from some darker shading all around. For a more dramatic aproach, you might try using colors other than a tone of the color you're shadeing. That starts getting complicated, though, so it might be best to start simply with some deeper shading. Shadows add a lot, emotion wise, to a drawing or painting.
Adding a bit of detail to the hair and clothes would help as well to give your drawing more depth. Different tones and shades occur naturally in hair, and might bring a bit of realism to your style as well. No need to get to precise with it, though. A few different colors and deeper shades would work wonders.
When it comes to the clothes, just make sure you follow the wrinkles in fabric with your shading. And remember that different types of fabric might reflect light differently! For example, this shirt looks like it could be silk, if so, it might be a lot shinier than if it were simply cotton!

I think you should go away.
Honestly, you suck. You can't even spell the word that defines the kind of person you are.
Just consider, she's over here doing what she loves, and you don't have enough common sense to be nice at all. What the hell is wrong with you?
Jackass.

Thanks, you see one of my friends is kinda odd. When you first meet her she's really happy and nice and fun to be around. Then you get to know her and you realise that most of the emotions she's showing are fake. She just puts on a smile because it's the easiest thing to do. And it's really starting to scare me. I just don't know how much longer I can take it....

I have. She said, so what are you trying to say? That I'm a metal case. How would you know who I am? Sure when I smile it's just to get through things, and most of the time I don't mean it. But what does that matter. That's who I am.
The thing is that when she said this she said it with no emotions, whatsoever...
