i think you meant the color banding style of shading??? It looks okay to me on my monitor screen and tablet. I focused more on the cheek and nose part because i dont want it to be too harsh.

You might check out PixelJoint's tutorial, it has a section on banding and pillow shading: pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_pos…

That's just the way I learned to think about shading, but don't let me get in the way of doing what you think works best. Your drawings are very pretty.
