This is my first try in shading, but I think it's not as good as it could be ...
I don't know how I can correct that ... I'm not in use with "how-to-use-colors-in-shading" yet, so forgive me, please.

Any advices or corrections would be appreciated.

Color Theory and colors in general are very difficult to explain and comprehend.
This is a way to help you develop and find your own colors. The main idea is that you pick the central color you like and then adjust new colors that work 'outward ' from it till it meets a new color no matter how different that new color is. Keep adjusting as you work tweaking a shade here and there keeping an eye on the palette as a whole...

...with a huge amount of artistic license and creative decisions so it meets your personal vision. For example, in this palette that blue WILL need to be revised at some point.



***Adarias is one of the best at doing this, check out his gallery and read his feature.
