The simple idea of how to add a shadow is to "attach to the opposite side of the direction in which light exists." If there is light on the left, it will be on the right, and if there is light on the top, it will be on the bottom. If you remember this much, I think it's good for now.

Shading can be really hard if you don't learn some basic skills. It doesn't have to though if you spend some time learning and practicing. First you need to understand that what we are really doing is trying to capture the shape of the thing you are drawing. We use the shading to do this.

The name comes from cels (short for celluloid), clear sheets of acetate which were painted on for use in traditional 2D animation.
Usually, the objects that are closer to the camera, have a lot more detail than the objects further back, and that’s because they don’t need to have that much detail , when everything in a drawing has the same level of detail, nothing stands out, so you only need to add more details to the parts that matter the most.
As I said before, each object has 2 colors, one for the light side and one for the shadow side, depending on which side is the main one, that’s the one I will color first. In a scene set in daytime, you usually have a light side that’s a lot bigger than the shadow side, while in night scenes it’s the other way around.
Animating characters takes a lot of time, so anime studios use just clean lines and flat colors. Sure, you probably won’t animate your drawing, but if you want it to look like the real thing, you will need to draw as if it will be animated.
The eyes of the characters, however, tend to have more detail and colors depending on how close the camera is. Of course, you don’t need to use this method to color your character, since you can get the same result with different methods, I personally like to do it this way for 2 main reasons:
These are adjustments that usually, in animation, would be done with software for video editing, however, Clip Studio Paint has tools that can help you achieve a similar result when working in single images. First, to be safe, save every layer from your drawing in a single folder and then copy that folder.
Anime face shading top/side lighting. When the light is coming from above and to one side of the character the shadows will be cast on an angle. One side of the face will mostly be light and one will be dark. On the dark side there will generally be a light spot around the cheek bone as that area will catch some light.

In this type of general lighting the shadows will usually be drawn as follows: 1 Forehead – shadows cast by the hair 2 Eyelids – tiny shadows as these areas are indented in the head 3 Nose – small shadow to one side 4 Neck – a large shadow cast by the head
Anime face shading side lighting. When the light is coming directly from one side you will pretty much have an evenly split (down the middle) light and a dark side of the face.
Back lighting will pretty much create a sort of “outline” of light around the character. Most of the light will be on the cheeks and sides of neck. On a real face there will also be some light on each side of the nose but for an anime nose you can simply do one small light spot on the tip.
When the light is coming from the bottom pretty much the entire face will be lit up with the shadows being cast as follows: Chin – a small shaded area at the top of the chin as the chin usually tends to stick out a bit and that bump will cast a tiny shadow.
Upper Lip – the upper lip will cast a very small shadow as it sticks out just a little bit blocking some of the light. Nose – upper area as the nose will block some of the light going upwards casting a shadow. Cheeks – as the cheekbones also tend to stick out a little they will create some shadows.
