Well since you asked for the shading, i'll just mention that.
First of all, you need to determinate where the light is comming from and what kind of light is it. If its a direct light or indirect light, or just an enviroment light.

Omg I didn't realize they also asked for shading

That will determinate the strength of it on your characters. For example, on that lion (i think its a lion) it has a strong light coming from behind him, but that light is not applying to the clothes.

yeah, its important to read what they're asking for hehe.

Ooh also what works for me is predenting that ur the light and what can u see of the person

Cool thing about light in comics, is that you don't have to put shadows all the times, just in places tha are really required.
olive shale
Omg trueeee
long rover
A good example of this, would be when lighting is used in mangas. When they use shadows to tell the reader that its sunny.

Idk how to draw backgrounds lol
long rover
For default, there isn't anything on the sky, but there you can tell its sunny by the shadows-

I dont want to be mean but, try to keep this as less of a "conversation" as possible.
olive shale
Ok lol sry
long rover
People come here to ask feedback and, well, between a lot of conversation, Q/A can get lost.
olive shale
True I'm getting off track lol

Anyway, as i was saying. In the case of comics. You have a good option to play with shadows or lighting because one can determinate the other. As i set the example, the shadows determinate:
1- Where's the light coming from.
2-How strong is the light.

In the image you sent, the light that is hitting the character from behind is well applied in my oppinion, ust try to apply it to the whole body of the character.

Ok back on track! So with shadings and shadows idk where the light sorece on this is but tips and tricks areee arrows
A 3d rendition (if u want tho)
Or ofc how every one does.... Reverence!

In the case of characters, this one is pretty close to the scenario you have.
The artist set the light from behind, because of that, we can assume that all "grey" is just normal shadow, since pure white is the light it self. Leaving "pur black" to the spectator to know that those sections in pure black, well, thy're just that, an object darker than the shadows themselves.
