I'm a relatively new artist, and I *REALLY* need some help as to how to shade a person or an object. I know how light works (where your light source is, you add a lighter color, but where your shadow is, you add a darker color), but as to the area I need to shade, I get into trouble. My shading generally ends up as a small line to indicate shadow on the object, which really doesn't look natural at all... I can't seem to shade a large space in any of my drawings. Any tips?

I don't really understand what you mean, because you say you understand that light source means lighter shading, and the shadows mean darker shading. So you should be able to do that - add shadows and light.
What I normally do, when I draw a picture, is draw lightly, at the edge of the page (so I can erase it when I'm done), a sun, and draw the rays slightly heading to the character/object. That way I always remember where my light source is. I imagine/visualise the rays continuing on, touching the character/object. This is where my light shading is. Anywhere that is furthest from the light, where the light cannot get, has a shadow.
Could you perhaps upload a picture and show where the difficulty lies, so maybe I can help you better?

I've had a lot of trouble with shadeing, if you upload a picture, I'll try to do a simple draw-over for you, and I can get Gray to help out more, I'll spit back the info she gives me. 3nodding
