Hi, I'm new to digital art and after watching multiple tutorials on YouTube, I still feel like I can't do it, since the base is mostly green. (Don't look at the background, not done yet.) Anyone have an idea how to add cool shadows? My Pinterest isn't helping either.

I've had this idea, but I can't quite make the shadows look right.

I think the shading looks good so far! I think the lighting is gonna be what makes it more green.
Meaning, like a green light is shining/ reflecting onto the character.

#

But also, I think a green overlay layer would help blend things together
