Looks really cute. That also influences the choice in colours, I think. Sure, it should be bright, but this one is a bit too bright, I think. The nose seems really light grey.
As for the shading, it looks fine on first and second sight. It matches the general style. There are a few irregularities and I don't know how to fix them properly. You see, around the edges and when a line comes to an end (and in the ears, looks a bit off), you round it up way too much. This is important, because there's fur everywhere.
There's probably shading at some wrong places, too, but I'm not an expert.
Also, you seem to be able to use gradients (or soft brushes with the same effect). I feel like they could be used more strongly.

thankyou so much for the feedback (and sorry for the really late reply :I)
i am starting to use gradients for my art so i can definitely incorporate that into all my future works.
with the shading i'll definitely work on it more, to get it accurate
thankyou again c:

I also think the shading is right for the chosen style, and for the animal itself: given that it's a fuzzy, fluffy animal, just one level of shading should be enough. The colour of the shade is nicely chosen, too. I also really like the lineart and the white outline: its thickness makes the image stand out.
About the shading, I would probably suggest you to be a little more accurate with its outline (like you are with the lineart), since, being flat, it's easier to see imperfections (still, there are very little). And even if the light source is on the back, I would still have put a little shade inside the ear, and a little more in the junction between the neck and the back. Also, I'd probably let the shade cover the left of the ears almost until the top. But those are really little things.
One thing that doesn't convince me too much is the black of the eye, that looks too dark compared to the brown lineart... I would suggest you to try and change it to a dark brown, but it's totally your choice, since sparkling eyes are definitely better with black ^^
(and just a little thing about transparency... in the upper part of the background and at the very bottom you can see a light shade that was not removed...)
Besides that, it's a really cute llama, and its espression is lovely! ^^
So keep up the good work!

Well your shading fits for the choosen style. You could only add some lighter shades with a soft brush and low opacity but I
like this version how it is.
