don't worry, i can't shade anything well either. A good idea to start with, though, would be trying to use each separate style on a cube, then try them on a sphere. It helps with light sources.

I just draw a really dark square, then you get a peice of paper and rub it until it looks shaded. I think there is some paper pencil thing for that, but I don't feel like wasting 7 cents. :/

shading does suck, but you should try gently crowwhatching or (also gently) dabbing the area you shaded that doesn't look good with a kneaded rubber eraser. :)
