The colors are looking FANTASTIC on this! My only suggestion is to "grow" your selection by a pixel or two and then color on a layer below your inks. It'll keep you from getting that weird, white line that sometimes gets left between the ink and the color when you're coloring digitally. (If you're coloring someone else's work, ask if they have it in a .png or .psd file so as to enjoy delicious ink transparencies under the inks.) Great color choice, though.

Don't be silly. We're all learning here. You got the highlights on her arm, shoulders, and butt really good by the way! It gives the impression of shape and depth, and I can tell you actually thought about where the light was coming from. Nicely done!

I got some great advice on shading recently. Try using a dark cool color, like purple or blue, on a separate layer set at a low opacity, like 50% or something. It works GREAT for shadows.

oh well mostly i did just take the same color and go a bit to the right and down to a darker shade of it kinda but thats not quite as effective probably as this method i should give it a try

I was doing darker shade and white blended in for a long time for my shading, but a friend linked me to this tutorial, which talks about color saturation and shadows. [link]
This tutorial is honestly fantastic. It's been a HUGE help to me.

This would look almost perfect, but personally, I think you should blur the circuliar patterns of highlights on her bum. Or use a 'watercolor' tool if your program has one. Smudge can be a nice way of doing highlights, too. However, if you have so many highlights, it's good to add them to other things as well - such as the lingerie and the lips. A white dot + smudge tool can really help to make the lips appear glossy.

well i could set some blur over thats true i also thought it looks a bit too much like u can see the strokes as i also got told on the other lighter skin picture where i do agree aswell
furthermore for the lips and lingerie ur right i didnt set any more highlights on them ^^' did set in this version tho some mor ehighlights on the face ^^

Yes, I noticed, I forgot to mention it though c: You picked up on the most important parts of her face, so well done~ I would make the forehead a little brighter as it often reflects light a lot (ever noticed people with no fringes seem to have a 'forehead shine'?
