Liking those eyes came out!
Really cute! I might try that style out.

Ya wanna know a good way to add shading to traditional art. You draw out your line-art, and then use a normal pencil, #2 wooden, and lightly fill in the parts you want shaded. Then add your colours ontop of it.
If ya want nice highlights, try using a pale yellow or white where you want the highlight, colour that in, and if you want, erase the line-art of the highlighted areas, if it's along the line-art.

Thanks and I i'll try shading with a #2 pencils , and will charcoal pencils work to? And thank you for the helpful tips.And thanks I thought the eye turned out horrible because the drawing it self is really small so I couldn't get as much detail.

Charcoal might be better, I personally haven't tried it. I personally would use charcoal for extreme shading.
I'm focusing on colouring and shading. And giving a char some char is always a good way to show their personality. It has nice burns and highlights on it. I need to work on that stuff. Yea, small stuff is a pain to detail. I'd recommend a 0.5mm mechanical pencil for that type of stuff.
