(I see a problem in the combined example; the shadows of the lighter top side aught to be as dark as the shadows near the bottom)

Well I certainly have my limitations, but I thought I'd make a "tutorial" of what I've picked up so far.

I'm slowly working my way up to a proper colorpencil-specific tutorial but I'm not sure what I ought to focus on (do you have suggestions or requests?). Besides that, I find general tutorials to be more useful than style specific ones.

Not to say that you can't make beautiful art without naturalistic lighting.
And yes, there's a lot more to Color Theory than just shading stuff.

***EDIT***
I've added 4b, an extension to Proximity Lighting, which talks about depth.
I've added 4.5 which I shall call Meta-Shape. Remember to consider the image as a whole. You're not just shading limbs and characters, you're shading the larger mass of your composition.
