I'm not a ton of help because I don't use photoshop, but I do have a shading tip you could use!
Down below, I drew a little example to refer to! First you'll see a ball with a light skin tone as an example. Typically anime shades with slight variations of the base colors (right of first ball), but that can look plain and flat and it's not done that way in art usually. I have learned that you should shade and highlight with colors that will reflect the environment around the object, but you can be more simple with this.
For example, some simply follow the rule of shade with your complimentary color as you can see on the lower left hand corner. I took a grey blue color as my shader and a very light yellow as my high light. I also carried that grey blue into the shadow on the surface below and you have yourself a much more interesting object than the previous example!
You should use this idea and apply it to and sort of lighting in your environment or mood you're creating. It can get pretty crazy like the weird pinky color for shading and light violet for the high light. But it's interesting! And visually compelling and that's what's important in art.
I also want to tell you, I did not use a blend tool for this, and if you do, I would suggest not doing that. Opacity is your friend, treat digital painting like life painting and simply water down your colors if you need to.
Best of luck! You'll do great! o v o
