Shading isn't very difficult to do, it's just figuring out just where to shade.
Basically just decide where your light source is pointing on your character, and shade the parts that are furthest away with a slightly darker color compared to the base color.
Example, you have your light source above and slightly forward of your characters head. The hair is bright red. begin to shade the parts of the hair furthest away with a slightly darker shade of red. Then go back with an even darker shade, and so on until it looks the way you want.
