add a lighter version of the base colour to the chin, also you can put it on one side of the body if you want

add a less saturated (more grey) version of the base colour to the forehead. You can also put this on the opposite side of the body to the light colour.

[blend it I forgot to get a picture]

on another layer above put a darker colour in any area you want shading (under the hair, neck, shirt sleeves, anywhere body parts or clothes cross over pretty much)

Blendy blend

I messed with it a little bit, and usually I put the layer onto multiply (that's optional though)
